Different generations, but their paths overlapped when they were both excellent for 4-5 years. Young Djokovic gave prime Fed problems on HC, while older Fed also gave prime Djokovic problems. Very balanced match-up.

Alcaraz by a decent margin.

It doesn't look good in the comparison vs Djokovic, if he aims for that huge height that's for sure. Other than that, Alcaraz is a great player already and he's gonna be even better.

Don't think so. It probably fires him up for next season. He played at a super high level. Alcaraz brought close to his best version and he straight-seted him.

In before Djokovic comes back at almost 38 and bags 2 more slams next season. :)

Of course quality of opponents matter. There are plenty of boxers that had better records than Ali, but he did it in the golden age of boxing. But Alcaraz can still make it a conversation. Beat Djokovic record by 3-4 slams (chances of him playing 100+ games vs top 5 all time legends like Fed...

The speed and power difference was huge in this final. Can't fight age.

No. His level this year is very bad.

Djokovic has been playing poorly all year so no surprise here. He's old, has a bad knee, no trainer and so on.

Better not mention level of opposition as an argument for Alcaraz. Alcaraz is not going to have two all time greats to deal with like Djokovic did with Federer and Nadal. That's like comparing 70s in heavyweight boxing to current gen.

Probably. He can fluke one, but Alcaraz is too good for him and peaked perfectly to clean up the field really good for as long as he can stay fit.

Should focus on the slams. I think davis cup is bigger than the olympics at tennis.

Never liked Zverev, he always seems to miss something in pressure moments.

The third and most likely scenario is ITIA had a weak case and were overall abusive against Halep. Halep accused them of this since they kept delaying the hearing. Seems like she was right to be suspicious and angry at ITIA. This should have been a simple, easy case of negligence and...

Being guilty of negligence vs being guilty of cheating on purpose are not the same. She was guilty the moment the substance was found in her blood. But they tried to make her look like the Lance Armstrong of tennis or something. Seems like that wasn't the case at all. That's why she got 9...

That sounds like something from The Sopranos. It's probably plain old abuse of power from ITIA. Flexing their muscle and made to look like clowns by CAS.

ITIA should be ashamed by this verdict. Halep should sue them. They cost her a year of career and multi-million dollars. When you hand out a 4 year suspension you must have an open and shut case.

I think he knows deep down that Federer is a better grass court player than him.

For me Djokovic always was a combination between Federer and Nadal. I saw hundreds of his games and he's simply a better attacker than Nadal, and a better defender than Federer. So... you add these two together, plus his monster mentality... he's the most complete player in terms of switching...

Nobody should care that much really. It's well known that both Federer and Nadal dislike Djokovic to some extent.

I don't think Federer has any advantage h2h-wise vs Djokovic. None. Imo, that 2008 4-set loss vs 21 years old Djokovic at AO was quite problematic for Federer. Don't tell me 2008 Federer is not still in his prime. Fed probably dominates Djokovic at wimbledon and indoors, and that only for 2-3...

Zero most likely.

Delpo 2009. Those were close to peak age Federer and Nadal. The kind of Fed that straight setted Djokovic in a major. And vs Nadal... boy, did Nadal ever suffer a harsher beatdown than that in a slam? He got 6 games lol.

Almost irrelevant. Olympics is the creme de la creme for many many sports, but tennis is not one of them.

Sinner would have made rune a champion.

Sinner had quite some chances to get back into the game, but he fluffed all of them.

Djokovic's serve clock is not functioning? Come on umpire...

Game needs some drama.

Djokovic hahaha. He placed a bet on himself in 3?

Djokovic lol.
