I’m not sure. As before, the powers that be may decide to fundamentally change the game if one or two players get too good, and interest (ie money) drops…always a safe bet. I suspect Novak’s records will stand for a few decades, but also would be quite intrigued if some kid starts knocking on...

I love listening to this guy. Wise beyond his years.

I thought I was going to enjoy Carlos putting Novak to bed, but it looks now like it will be this gunslinger. I like it.

Yeah, Ruud likes to just push back and forth. I can see why he likes Novak more. As time went on and Djokovic declined, Ruud probably felt like he could hang. Sinner is too much for him and it only gets worse each time as the kid gets stronger. Ruud missed his chance.

These three already smell a little musky. They were overcooked a long time ago. Kick to the curb, it’s a new age!

Re. the op…nope

ATP finals always suck a little bit. No harm done. Tennis looks to be in good hands for the next 10 yrs at least. These kids crush the ball. It’s about time!

Ahh, the smell of a 2 goat bromance in the fall…it’s a beautiful thing. As these two sail off into the sunset, we will never forget their contribution to the game. I look forward to hearing about Rafa’s next life. Hopefully he will be as content and healthy as old Rog seems to be. Thanks for all...

On the right court with old racquets…Mac!

Agree. Goat vs goat! “one set…?” Haha. That was funny. Can watch those two hit the ball all day. Sounds like they are splitting a coconut.

As is almost always the case, when the gladiator in the ring speaks, it is almost always the truth, and accurate. I haven’t read all the replies, but I suspect there will be many here that know better than Sinner, and can read something unique to their narrative, between his lines. Do not stop...

Classy words from a great champion. It’s great that he can play so well against these younger opponents, but there is a definite pattern over this last year. Will see how AO goes, but at least he’s in the mix.

Haha…it’s burns doesn’t it OP? Try some aloe man. But keep posting because you bring joy to fedals!

Too soon…? Ah well, it’s inevitable now. Welcome Rafa and all your hardcore fans to this venerable place, I think you will enjoy it here!

Was listening to a podcast recently where Craig O’Shannasey was talking about how he was the first one to give Novak the secrets of all his opponents and himself, with game data, in 2017 onwards. Coincidentally Novak won like a demon from that point, with a game that had surgical precision...

Ouch…

This man had one of my goat quotes of tennis and life, “if, if, if…doesn’t exist”. What an amazing athlete and contributor to sport and life. Rest easy goat, and enjoy the remainder of your journey.

Was going to go with one of the Star Wars originals…but then peeked through the thread, and now I cannot pick just one…maybe my first goat movie was A New Hope…so many tho

Champ is looking marvellous!

Will be goat. That’s his potential and I think he will fulfill it.

Djoker. Easy answer.

OE goat fed, pre is laver. Sorry doood.

Now this is interesting. Thanks. I will try this as previously I would definitely be thinking dtl/to backhand/ or just as far away from the opponent as possible. Will try to just go deep and straight ahead and see how it goes.

Jaysus, Sinner with the Novak like shot tolerance. Gonna be a tough out for a long time.

Watched Connors, but at the time was more interested in his wife…disagree with OP. Borg another player from that century was more compelling to me.

Beautiful player to watch. Tough loss for sure.

Great post. Thanks

I predicted 30, but alas was wrong. May not even get to 25 now. Some young talent, with some belief that they can beat Novak. Will be tough sledding for the champ in 2025.

Liking this Sinner kid more and more. Showing lots of stuffing in this tournament with the doping scandal hanging around, and still laying a beating on these others. Will be a fun final either way.

Muchova with the much nicer looking game today. Really liking that forehand and the net play. She could be trouble going forward for opponents if she can keep that game up. Also would like to see Navarro inflict some pain on the field from here. If Sabalanka can keep from flooring it every...
