Djokovic's Wimbledon Triumph - A lucky victory he WON'T repeat - can he win 10 Slams?

Or can he win it again?

Does Nole have the potential to get into double digits in his Slam count with stats such as say, 2 Wimbledons (slower grass now), 5 AO, 1 RG and 2 US Opens.

I could see him ruling the roost at the AO as the surface is absolute perfect for his game. I can't see him not completing a Career Grand Slam and his game is certainly good enough for 2 US Opens as he's only been denied in the past before by peak Fed (one of best US Open players of all time) and Nadal. The only real question for me is Wimbledon, would he be able to repeat there? In the past he's been taken out by aggressive tactics on the surface as recently as being ousted by Tommy Haas in 2009, thoughts?


This is in no way a sensationalist thread aimed at getting you to watch my new Djokovic Wimbledon video, not at all.

Come on is it so unreasonable to think he could get 10 Majors?

I actually think he'll end on about 7 or so maybe 8 but 10 certainly isn't out of the question. Surely he's the favourite against any opponent on the Plexicushion of the Australian Open. He's proven time and time again he has a game which is suited to the US Open and he's managed to put Nadal to the sword on clay but just failed to reach the RG Final.

It's "FrankenCvac",not "FrankenCvak". Spell it correctly,please.

Anyway,I think he will not only get to 10 majors,but will get even beyond that. Pete's record is doable,for sure. Having no competition means he will rack up slams.

And I also think he will win Wimbledon again this year as well. Who is going to stop him?

It was a fluke. Like Nadal winning AO/USO.

Honestly, I will be very surprised if Djokovic wins another Wimbledon or Nadal wins another AO/USO.

Also I don't expect Djokovic to win more than one FO. He is 25 and has yet to reach the final. He's been reaching slam finals since he was 20...

Djokovic might win multiple AO and USO but I don't see him winning more than once at Wimbledon/FO.

If he reaches 10 slams it could be something like this:


5 AO
1 FO
1 Wimbledon
3 USO

Yet you are the same one who tried to imply he would have won virtually all the 2008-2010 slams as Djokovic 2.0. Atleast make up your mind what you really think.

I never said all. Just most of the HC slams.

You said most of the slams Nadal won which were mostly clay/grass slams. Perhaps you should think things through better next time.

Jeez, HC slams and maybe an odd RG/Wimbledon

Djokovic could have close to 10 slams now.

Take away those 2 HC slams Nadal won plus FO 2010. Add USO 2009 and there you have it. Maybe even Wimbledon 2010.

Nadal would have won like 3 slams since 2008 instead of the 7 he won.

BTW, you predicted Serena would win like 27 slams.

That is hilarious.

She will be lucky to reach 15.

This video is pretty good. It's actually a good introduction for people not familiar with tennis.

Do spread it.

Although, some of the effects are too much.

Djokovic is the 3rd best grass player after Federer and Nadal although his top level may exceed Nadal's. He's conquered the slow grass of Wimbledon. His footwork is efficient and he's finished in the semifinals or better several times which shows his quality as a grass court player.
It also helps that all surfaces are similar so it's not surprising that he's comfortable on grass.

Murray is better on grass than Djokovic.

^ I simply can't agree with that.

How come Djokovic has never won a title on grass before Wimbledon? Just like Agassi and Stich who won their first grass title at Wimbledon. And they just won that sole Wimbledon.

Murray has better game on grass.

Unfortunately he melts at slams.

[DeShaun]

Once Nole senses that his absolute peak's end is near, he will still have enough game to win slams, likely begin trying to peak just for them, and probably win at least a couple more after this point.

But right now he is the top dog maintaining the absolute best form with the most consistency--there is just no room for any doubt about it.

He is the defending Wimbledon champ; he supplanted a reigning champion last year in Rafa who had made four (won two) of the previous five finals there. Until further notice, Novak is the prohibitive favorite for Wimbledon 2012.

I'd put Andy Roddick above either tbh.

True....Djokovic was struggling against Baghdatis, and Tomic. Remarable he turned it around in the semis and finals.

Murray is more of a consistent performer on the Grass.....but he hasn't proved himself at Wimbledon like Novak has.

Yep, half of being a good player is the thing between the ears.

The potential is there.
