I'd be surprised if Rune takes one set, my friend. Don't you remember the last Novak vs. Rune match?

Beri*.

LOL, "Djokovic mascot".

Another GOATistic statistic for the GOAT himself.

Delpo did come back after 2009 though, Great Wimbledon 2013 battle with Novak, fantastic 2016 Olympics run, SUPERB end of 2017 to end of 2018 (beating Thiem and Federer back to back at the USO 2017, brutal clash with Nadal at W 2018 QF and reaching the USO 2018 final as well as being ranked #3).

Our Djoker is uniting people.

Nadal at the AO 2009 and Nadal and Djokovic at the AO 2012 showed exceptional stamina. It's probably between these 2, Now, Nadal at W 2018 is being overlooked here. He was 32 years old, no longer at his purest physical prime, and still played a 5 sets, 4 hours and 47 minutes QF with Del Potro...

The ability to avoid injuries is not a synonym with having stamina. I can play a friendly football/soccer match and finish it uninjured, despite ending up tired of running after 10 minutes. Stamina is defined as having the physical ability of, while uninjured, being able to play long matches...

King I wonder why the Democratic People's Republic of Korea wouldn't allow tennis courts to be easily and democratically accesible.

What about Mark Wahlberg?

A tennis season without Nadal is like a Dracula movie without vampires.

Consequential vs. inconsequential? What do you mean, gentleman?

23-23.

Answering OP, as a tennis fan, this performance really impressed me:

I concur with your logico-methodological analysis. After seeing the highlights, I was schoked by Opelka's level. For sure, the outcome seemed to be more the result of Opelka's merit than Novak's demerit. Novak has always owned servebots like Raonic, but the extraordinary thing is that Opelka was...

Good luck returning the bombs from 7 ft Opelka from an aggrressive return position.

Difference is Nick's hair is fake, while Raz's isn't.

Very short: Short: Normal (neither short nor long): Long: Very long:

Novak rarely appears with a military haircut, but I think it'd look great on him!

40 yeara old LeBron James made 38 points this week. Can the Djokovic emulate Bron's longevity? Stay tunned!

I think it looks well on him. Classic military haircut. It'll grow back. Nothing to see here.

"Artificially". The whole sport of tennis is an artificial human invention, nothing of it is natural. Tennis is an artificial cultural invention, no part of it is impregned in our genes.

Opelka played phenomenal, it's not like Novak was playing particularly bad, the giant servebot was zoning.

I think maximizing your options and trying everything you can (even if it results in a last year full of losses) is much better than retiring earlier and constantly wondering about "what if?", à la Sampras. Federer and Nadal retired when it was absolutely obvious they would win no more Slams...

.

I still viividly remember how, after Kyrgios had convincingly beaten Nadal at Cincinnati 2017, he had to face Ferrer the next round. And, as weird as it may sound, a broken-body and super old Ferrer gave Nicholas a hell of a match and a bigger fight than Nadal. Ferrer was like a bulldog...

1. Clay demands longer point construction. 2. Longer point construction demands longer matches. 3, Longer matches increase tiredness. 4. Old players prefer to say shorter on court to avoid tiredness and injuries. 5. Roland-Garros will be the hardest Grand Slam for Novak to win.

But that would represent weak domination at each Slam. What's 5 RG compared to 14 RG? Weak domination. I'd rather ultradominate 1 Slam with double figures than having 5 at each. Having 5 at each you're not the greatest at any Slam.
