The 'Who Can Stop Djokovic in 2015?' Thread

FedererDropShot · May 19, 2015

Back in the days, the Murray/Djokovic/Federer fanbases would unite against the Nadal fanbase (given Rafa's dominant H2Hs against all 3).

However, as the Djokovic dominance dawns upon us, the Murray/Federer/Nadal fanbases will now be uniting to hope that their man can stop the one man-show, the big one, Djokovic.

Who will inflict Djokovic's Masters 1000 and Grand Slam loss(es)?

Next destination is RG, will it happen and who will do it?

Stay tuned.

After RG, Wimbledon also awaits where Novak will be defending the title.

2012 FO QFs heart break for Tsonga.

It was even more heartbreaking than the 2011 USO SFs for Federer.

Fed stopped him in 2011, and actually is one of two people to have a win against Nole this year too.

So yeah, why not Federer?

How many match points did he blow in that one again? Thought he had like 4 or 5.

Yes it was. Heartbreaking also that some people in the crowd left the stadium after the 4th set tie break.

I seem to recall Tsonga getting frustrated after he blew one of the match points, looking at someone in the crowd as if to say, "What was I supposed to do, Novak hit a tremendous shot."

2011 Federer's ground game was still there.

2015 Federer's ground game just pales in comparison.

I think it was 4.

Stop the press

Hopefully, no one. But if I had to pick, himself > Nadal > Federer > Murray? > inspired opponent.

I'm excited, but anxious at the same time.

I concur.
Right now, Novak is well above the field. So, the most likely to stop him is a virus (like last year), injury, fitness issue, personal issue (like when his former coach died)
In 2013, Nadal was having one of his best seasons and he had the game to stop him. This year, it's the opposite. So if Djoko brings the same game he's playing right now and he is 100% fit, there is no reason why he shouldn't win.

Since 2011, when has intense heat stopped Djokovic?

True, true. I forgot about The Heat. He's gearing up for the final showdown on Chatrier.

Nishikori has been practicing since Monday. The take down is happening for real.

So Jokerović is supposed to win more than one slam this year unlike in 2012, 2013 and 2014 – the so-called "Đoković Era"? Party like it's 2011!

RFGOAT1992 · May 24, 2015

its been Federer since 2014 i dont know what ya'll been watching, but only federer even has a remote chance of stopping the guy, with the exception of a red hot nishikori, or wawa. those guys however are too inconsistent to put up any real threats

Yes he can. The Muzziah will redeem tennis once and for all with powerful backhands and arrogant slices. Evil must repent.

Bad list.

Nadal should be at the bottom of the list.

Fed should be first, followedby wawrinka.

Murray should be second to last.

And you left out Tsonga.
