He can be very generous and graceful as he was now in his speech acknowledging that Alcaraz played much better than him and he deserved the Wimbledon crown.
He is the gentlest when he talks about his lovely wife and children.
But sometimes he turns and behaves in a narcissistically boastful and arrogant way.

For example, he threw childish tantrums about the audience's predominant barracking for his opponent, Rune, in the round of 16.
He insisted that they booed him when the audience actually shouted 'Rune.'
He behaved as if he was entitled to audience adulation.
While he craves adoration, he tends to bate audience members who openly express their dislike of him.
So despite his history of record achievements on the tennis court,
it is most unlikely that he will ever win a 'Popularity Grand Slam Contest'.
