Well deserved.

It's not the way that true champions do things though. They want to beat the best to become the best.

I feel old knowing that Hewitt has turned 40.

So true. The records shall show that Novak Djokovic was the true beneficiary of a weak era.

He shall for sure.

OP, you just got your answer in this post.

I would've thought that the slimy Serb wants to hold onto No 1 throughout this year, to set the record for most Y-E No 1's.

Only thing I'm going to say, as a fellow PETE fan, is that Nole is by no means his protege. Completely different styles.

I'm pretty sure that Federer, GOAT of the game, shall walk away from the sport with the sentiment expressed below.

Of course he's declining. The issue is, he's facing the weakest young generation the game has ever known, so he's still able to pick up slams. :whistle:

Federer is GOAT of the game, yet only plays for love of the sport. He shall come back and enlighten / entertain us all again. And could well snag another title at SW19, mere months shy of his 40th birthday. Agreed upon by all objective tennis observers.

Yeah, the Olympics > WTF was the only real misstep in the OP. Some very good points in general.

I see, yes we can note most of the obvious fanboys of the two players voting for their fave. (Lew a notable exception)

Why not?

Noah really stands out (in a bad way) in the 80s crop.
