Why is Novak Djokovic less popular than Federer and Nadal?

Novak Djokovic Wimbledon 2017When one looks at any hand, a couple of things usually stick out and in the case of Novak Djokovic, it's his shrewdness and the edgy, defiant quality to his personality. If one compares his hands to other tennis greats, Roger Federer for example, Federer’s hands reveal an inner vulnerability of character and a cool intellectualism with a touch of cynicism. When it comes to Rafael Nadal, it’s his cleverness, agility and immense generosity of spirit that stand out.

Coming back to Djokovic's hands, they have broad, heavy palms and short fingers and well-developed Venus, Lower Mars and Moon. His Saturn (middle) finger is a little shorter than normal and both the Jupiter (Index) and Mercury (pinky) fingers are bent. The first phalanges of Mercury and Apollo (ring) fingers are good and the thumb is good, with a normal balance of the first and second phalanges and it is likely slightly low-set. The fingertips are rounded and the headline starts a little high and then slopes down across the palm. There is a gap between the life and headlines on the right, active hand but none can be seen on the left, passive hand. There are other differences between the passive and active hand. The Girdle of Venus is well marked on his passive hand but in most photographs of the right hand, it's missing, which means there must be a fainter version on the right hand. The heartline is longer on the passive hand, the life and headlines are joined and the Moon mount is not developed. That's a lot of differences!

What do such differences between the two hands usually mean?

Maria Sharapova's hand reading

Maria Sharapova is a well-known Russian tennis player, formerly the World's Number 1 player. One would expect that her personality and life (as seen on her hands) would reveal not just her talent and success, but also a life which is happy and fulfilled. Well, it is not exactly like that.

The shape of her hand and fingers

Roger Federer playing tennisRoger Federer and his wife Mirka (Miroslava Vavrinec) are great together. Both are analytical, thoughtful people. From
the analysis of their hands, it is clear why they were attracted to each other in the first place, and why they are still together. Their hands show that they are mentally and temperamentally compatible even though their relationship may not be a smooth one. No relationship is.

Hand analysis of Venus and Serena Williams

Serena Williams
People are not sure why Serena Williams is doing better than her sister Venus in the game of tennis. Some say Serena’s advantage lies in her personality - her mean streak. A comparison of Serena and Venus (from their hands) tells a different story, and an intriguing one at that. Intriguing because both Venus and Serena have marked differences between their right and left hands. This by itself speaks of an unusual childhood, a childhood which altered their destiny.

Any marked difference

Lalit Modi's hand analysis

Lalit Modi’s* hands reveal that he is a proud and ambitious personality with a strong desire for power. Desiring power is a common trait in successful people and when people possess leadership qualities the outcome is usually a good one. But when the hunger for power is not accompanied by leadership qualities it can lead to not such a good outcome.

If one looks at Modi's hand features, he has a long, closely-held, slightly high-set thumb, and strong mounts of Moon, Jupiter and Mars. The mount of Venus is not well developed but the lines on his palm are deep and strong. The quadrangle (the space between the head and heart lines) is narrow. 

The fingers are medium-length with the Jupiter (index) finger

Are Shoaib Malik and Sania Mirza right for each other?

Sania Mirza and Shoaib Malik look good together. Both are young, beautiful, successful, and sports personalities. Both of them have seen the world and are broad-minded people with similar views. But happiness is not dependent on this. The question is: Are Sania and Shoaib a good match temperamentally? A peek at their hands can give us a clue as to whether they are truly right for each other.

The passion of youth

There is one similarity in both their hands, their heartlines. From this we can deduce that they are both

Rafael Nadal - Hand and Finger Analysis

All great sportsmen are strategists. Some are better than others, and Rafael Nadal’s hands show that he is one of the better ones, even better than Roger Federer. True, he does not plan as much, nor does he go that much into detail, but Nadal’s hands show unusual shrewdness. More importantly, he can think and act quickly. He is flexible, takes instant decisions, and that too almost intuitively.

Rafael or Rafa as he is popularly known, like many successful sportspeople, has an excellent shape to his hand – broad palm and long fingers but not excessively long. His pinky or little finger is relatively very long and a little bent. His other fingers are fairly straight and the Jupiter or index finger is conically tipped and leaning outwards. He had a very good Apollo (ring) finger, excellent Venus and Jupiter mounts and Upper Mars and the Mercury mount are also fairly developed. In addition, he has a long, low-set thumb and dark, curved lines with the head and life joint for quite a bit.

His hand shows that he is not just mentally dexterous, he can be amazingly skilful, crafty, active and nimble and these are the qualities of people with a good

Roger Federer's hand analysis

Roger Federer is an enigmatic personality for many. His hands can give us a clue as to what kind of a person he really is. By nature, he tends to be complex; a person who seems calm and controlled to the world, but is he really like that on the inside? Skilful and talented he surely is but, in reality, he is vulnerable and soft inside.

Roger Federer has a broad palm, with either medium length or slightly long fingers, a slightly high-set, tapering thumb of average length, long first phalanges, average second phalanges, and prominent mounts of Moon, Venus and Lower Mars.

His lines are not quite
