Huge congratulations to Novak Djokovic. It is a massive achievement. Only the great Pete Sampras has achieved 6 years as end of year No. 1 and it won't be long before Novak has the most weeks at No. 1 as well. I am Team Nadal 'til I die but I have to call greatness when I see it. His consistency this decade has been phenomenal.

Lol okayyy. Tell that to McEnroe, Borg, Laver, Sampras, and Becker among others. If the 20 club is all that matters, then why are you so butthurt?
Haha a Djokovic fan claiming anyone is butthurt. 20 Majors son. Lol
Becker in his book makes it clear indoor tennis doesnt matter much as does Sampras!! Thats exactly why i dont care !! So glad you accept i am right.

You really dont lol. 20-17.
Lol. He wont even win this 500 event. His decline is marked. Which is a shame as it lessens the joy of Nadal thrashing him the other week but this is Djokovic lite now.
Well it is 20-17 lol. Or do i have that wrong?
Rafa season is over bud. Majors are what Rafa is about. Paris just a practice event. I never bother about indoor tennis.
Djokovic keeps avoiding Nadal at USO so Rafa cannot add to 2-1.
Because all the top players never all bust a gut to play at indoor events like they do tournaments during slam season. Slams fella. Slams are everything
20-17. Sugar not salt is out tipple haha.
Nope. Indoor tennis is irrelevant. Pros say so. Well the successful.ones who do not need the money. What matters is the 20 Club. Two members. Exclusivity.
20 Majors? How can one be butthurt.. oh the delicious irony of a Djokovic fan claiming anyone is butthurt. #20-17
Congratulations, you have learned how to spam and desperately seek for attention. Run along now since we are in the part of a season that is irrelevant when Nadal is irrelevant.

Being clay GOAT doesn't make you GOAT, there's more to tennis than Roland Garros. Relax :)
Multiple Majors on all surfaces is the key and a career of Mcenroe off clay added to total domination on clay is what makes a GOATDAL. The deed is done bud. Enjoy and own it.

Lol. Yea you're butthurt because no matter how many times you say 20 Slams, Djokovic will cross the 300 week mark at #1 now guranteed. Djokovic can add 3 more Slams. Can Rafa add another 100 weeks?

Ehhh...I hate the term asterix in most cases, but I really feel it applies here, since so much of the season was lost to Covid-19, it feels like a hollow achievement this year. There wasn't a real opportunity for the ranking to be properly fought for and go down to the wire. Novak will take it of course and it's not his fault, but it doesn't feel like something that merits the kind of celebration it would get in normal years.

Lmao. Djokovic getting 3 more slams will never happen bud. Weeks at no.1 is irrelevant. It was accepted Majors are what counts. Cannot move the chains now bud. 20-17. Happy Halloween

Thank you for participating in Novak's no6 celebration :)

Congrats Nole fans!
He's just too good not to get this record.

Butthurt fans of other players don't need to make comments if you got nothing nice to say.
So does this mean Nadal fans are made of sterner stuff. Past 3 weeks has seen all sorts of abuse at Nadal yet one post not salivating over Djokovic has sent his fan base into seemingly upset mode.

To be fair, anyone would rather have Bjorn Borg's career with three extra slams, than Ivan Lendl's career with 3 less slams and 160 more weeks at no.1.

There's no guarantee Djoker catches up to Nadal at all in slams, as he is still a very moving target. The weeks at no.1 thing is ultimately unimportant compared to the slam count.

Ofc it is because Nadal is so far behind lol. Just like WTF is an exho to you guys.

Lol Novak would have demolished the rankings had the rest of tournaments been played

IW, Miami, MC, Roger's Cup : He could've gained points here!

He was the favourite for Wimbledon!

Novak outperformed his 2019 results in the 2020 tournaments he played, earned every single point irrespective of rankings system
He has acquired almost as many points this year as Nadal and Thiem combined Lol

It's not one post. You're extremely invested in Novak's no6 record, even more than his fans. So much salt. :)

Will never happen? Why? He certainly moves way better than Rafa on solid surfaces. Weeks at #1 irrelevant? Hahahaha. Someone post that Bernardes gif.

Only salt and butthurt is coming from you for a long time now. I even congratulated Nadal and his fans.

I am totally different person then you are.
20 Majors bud. Life is sweet. I have no idea who you are to be fair. I do not pay that close attention to who posts what.
 
He looked pretty aggressive today from what I saw. He'll be fine.
Not nearly enough on the return. If not for Coric's DF, he wouldn't have broken in the 2nd set early. Even on his 1st MP, he backed off several steps on Coric's 2nd serve. He kept doing that against Tsitsipas in RG and it cost him 2 extra hours on court.

Also remember last year WTF against Thiem. Played too defensively and lost a tight long match. Result? Getting routined by Federer next round.

Well Courier disagrees, as I've been telling you but please continue to devalue the importance of being the best player in the world. Something any athlete or teams in any sport strives for. Only Nadal fans can devalue such achievement.

Like I said:

Borg> Lendl

If the slam gap between Rafa and Novak stays the same:

Nadal> Djokovic

Boasting about weeks at no.1 will ultimately be a pretty useless consolation prize, but whatever helps you sleep at night.

Well of course they would rather have Borg's career. Borg has 5 Wimbledons, in a time when Wimbledon meant everything, and Lendl has 0. That's a no brainer. Djokovic has way more in his favor than Lendl has so dumb comparison. Djokovic ain't Lendl.

Who cares? Outside of clay, his career is already better.

Glad you accept Nadal was the best player in 2019 and 2017. Full calendar years. Glad we on same page bud.

Slam race and weeksNo1 threads are elsewhere man. I understand if you're having trouble navigating the complex forum topics list, you'll learn with time. ;)

Didn't Courier just try to devalue the slam count to make his PR statement for Novak.LOL!

A lot of these media guys (even the ex-pros) can't hide their biases. Courier was rooting for Novak to beat Rafa at the French and expected him to. He made a huge deal about the importance of the slam count before the final, because he thought Djokovic would add another. Then Novak loses and he starts contradicting himself. He's no better than Wilander as a pundit. Can't take him seriously.
