obviously, Djokovic could still win a 25th, but realistically, it isn't likely, do you think that if Wimbledon was not cancelled for the pandemic In 2020, that Djokovic could have gotten to 25 slams?

As a newer tennis fan, just getting into tennis, I am wondering how you guys think Alcaraz and Sinner would fair against some of these single or few times slam winners who were outshined by Murray and the big 3.

Novak Djokovic took down Jiri Lehecka's compatriot Tomas Machac in 3 straight sets in the 3rd round. Will Jiri see more of the same treatment or does he possess the antidote?
