During this whole clostebol and dope scandal with Jannik, I was always thinking, as do I now, that he was innocent and the doping was due to physio's mistake. But I do have to ask myself is it a bad joke if the guy who had a turbulent season regarding his PR, to say so at least, did in the end...

To me, it's two different things results and level of play. Also peak, prime, to me it's a same thing, different word. Djokovic was at this best from 2011 to mid 2016, later in 2019 to 2023 he did have great results and the level of play was near his peak/prime. But the way he obliterated...

You highlighted one result and made it as example for the whole season, and it isn't. First off, Isner is not a mug, just as Tipsarevic if we're being honest. Second, Nadal lost 6 finals of big tournaments and won Monte Carlo, Barcelona and Roland Garros. He also lost Tokyo final against Murray...

And my point is that Djokovic, who had one of the best seasons of his career in 2011, also had some poor performances during that year. The fact is, Djokovic beat Nadal on all 6 encounters in 2011, all in finals, all on the biggest stages. 4 Masters 1000 and 2 Grand Slams, and immediately after...

So Djokovic season 2011 was not his peak as well, because he lost to Janko Tipsarevic in ATP finals?

There was a reason he was worse, and it was called Novak Djokovic.

Mario Ancic.

So every single fan of Novak Djokovic either hates Alcaraz or Sinner and only watches tennis because of Novak Djokovic? This fanboism is ridiculous here for years now. I am Novak Djokovic fan and I like both Alcaraz and Sinner, and I loved Federer, Nadal and Murray

Epic.

It was very emotional. Find peace, my brother.

Off topic, where is that guy Neutral fan who was hyping Sinner like no other here? He would usually have his "I told you so" moments with multiple new threads after Sinner's achievements. Don't tell me he got banned? :-D

This is why, including other reason like clutchness, I rank Djokovic above Nadal when it comes to mentality. I see many people rank Nadal's mentality as greatest ever, but I think they mistaken the term with fighting spirit. True, Nadal is a never give up warrior, one of the greatest ever, but...

Incorrect. Olga Danilovic is currently world number 52.

Of his whole career actually.

Hamad won the ATP Nitto finals last year, at the end of 2023. He had injury issues first 4 months of this year, started playing a little better in the middle of the year and it looks like he's finally getting back in form now. If he wins today, he'll reach top 100 and be number 91 on monday on...

The Rafa Nadal Roland Garros package.

That's more like it, nice to meet you!

Aren't we all?

I prefer tears of TTW members in Pro Match Results section in a particular thread about the match I am watching, if my favorite player is winning of course.

And though times goes by I will always be In the club with you in 1973 Singing: "Here we go again"

Yes, this is very important, as winning a Grand Slam title without dropping a set is worth more than winning one with losing 1, 2 or 5 sets. It'd be fair to say winning a Grand Slam title without dropping a set is worth 1,5 points, therefore Nadal has won 24 slams.

FInally let's talk real now a player of Gottfried's caliber today would've destroy the competiton. 30 slams in this era.

Have to be honest and say I didn't watch this match, and as always exhos and exhos, you don't expect players to give their all, not even close. But I watched highlights and it really looked like they were playing close to their fullest, and then one point took my attention. Look at this point...

I have actually never seen before this surname combo and I like it a lot - Murderer.

Nope, Laver was supposed to present Novak the trophy at US Open 2021 for getting the CYGS for symbolical reasons. He was there, at the stands just behind the baseline in first rows. Since Novak failed to achieve that, some desk job guy probably gave it to Daniil Medvedev.

Well, when you look at it, if Fed won those three points at 40:15 (x2) and 15:40 and won the finals, he could've had today 23 slams, Djokovic would be at 22, Nadal at 21. As Nadal retired, Djokovic entering his final year(s) with dominance of Sinner and Alcaraz, one could say Federer could've...

It really is jaw dropping that 37 years old guy, no matter which sport he plays and who he is, is moving like that. As a 29 year old who is actively playing amateur basketball (competition between companies) and going regularly to gym, I'm just in awe how good Djokovic is still physically. I...

Even better video tribute:

Goosebumps. Not gonna lie, he almost made me cry when he started talking about his family and his eyes became red. One of the greatest of all time. The God of clay, the greatest there will ever be on that surface and Roland Garros. Living legend.
