Has Djokovic got the X Factor?

First topic message reminder :

Is Djokovic a really popular player?

Sure we have NITB and Socal here plus the anti-Feds and Anti-Nadals who rejoice at Djokovic's success. But what about the popularity of the player himself?

Has he got the loveable, wild, charismatic personality and/or game to attract the masses like Nadal and Federer did? Will he have the special treatment from tournament directors and media that his 2 main competitors had?

We could ask the same question if Murray were to become world number one.

Has Djoko got the X faxtor?

My answer is that he is trying...not sure he has it though.

On the contrary I think Djoko has more charisma than fed and nadal but only thing which has not prompted me to like his facebook page is the fact that I am a die hard federer fan. And sooner or later I might like his fb page as well.

Novak brings a lot to tennis court, I credit him with saving tennis as he broke the invincibilty of Nadal's monotonous game.
SO for me Djoko does have X factor.

interesting discussion on here. i think pop singers can be manufactured anywhere and with any kind of raw material that can sing - given the infrastructure that goes into making a pop singer.

so, i dont think there is any presence factor that SC identifies. so long as the participants can sing, he looks for a certain image that he thinks can be sold and the participant can be moulded into. that's not really presence.

you think olly murs has presence? and that eminently forgettable guy before him?

hell, the Jedward twins had a much better thing going and still do, than most of the finalists.

the only genuine talent SC has identified out of that show has been Leona Lewis.

Agreed Coolpixel, that is what I meant. Should have used the word creates rather than engineers.

I wouldn't disagree with the last, but appeal is very different from talent. Jedward (odd as they may be) clearly have touched something with the public (not sane bods like wot we have on here maybe, but other peeps seem to have bought into them wholesale) - you think that was a lucky accident? SC knows his market.

I do agree that charisma is subjective, but there are clearly some people/performers/sportsmen who don't possess it, expect perhaps to their mothers.

Well they are Catholic, touching may be in their blood. (Joke)
