djokovic

Assuming all three players were at pork form (magically transfigured into pigs) who could we see winning on each of the respective surfaces? I think pork Djoker could still be the best on grass. Please weigh in.

First of all, forgive the super long post, but detail is needed for understanding. After Kralingen put up stats for Federer and Djokovic’s peak periods, 2004-2009 and 2011-2016, respectively, and Djokovic age 30s period, 2018-2023 in this thread, I decided to take a deep dive into the strength...

On a scale of 10 to 10, 10 being stunning.

I don't know all that much about Ben Shelton. We all know that in his first full season as a pro, he made the QFs at the AO, and just now, the semis at the US Open. His dad, Bryan (who I vaguely recall on the tour in the late 80s, early-to-mid 90s....made it into the top 55 or so) coached him at...

Okay, there are all kinds of threads on this -- serious, trollish, and parody threads alike -- and pardon me for adding a serious one. Here's the thing: While most of us may already have Djokovic and Alcaraz penciled into Sunday's final, it's not a sure thing. But looking ahead, here are some...

Novak Djokovic beat Gilles Simon 6-3, 6-7(1), 6-4, 4-6, 6-3 in the Australian Open fourth round, 2016 on hard court Djokovic would go onto win the tournament, beating Andy Murray in the final for the second year in a row. It was his then record extending 6th title at the event. He had won...

In the last couple of years we've seen a lot of new big title champions, especially compared to 2011-2013 where Ferrer was the only one to make that breakthrough. Since we have a lot of 1 M1000 (which I'll just refer to M for short) winners I decided to look at all of them (and the more...

Its the 12th meeting between these two, and their first in almost 2 years since Zverev's thrilling win over Djokovic at 2021 ATP finals Semi. Djokovic leads the overall h2h by 7-4. Here they meet again, coincidentally in yet another Semi final, its their 4th SF meeting in a row. Previously they...

Novak Djokovic beat Roger Federer 7-6(1), 6-4, 6-3 in the Australian Open semi-final, 2020 on hard court Djokovic would go onto win the title, beating Dominic Thiem in the final. This was the last meeting between the pair. Djokovic finished the head-to-head with 27-23 lead. This was the last...

Nole became a true contender after 2010 RG in slams. Since then he was never bothered by Federer at all. Let's take a look at all their slam matches. USOpen 2010 - didn't matter. Nadal was too strong AO 2011 - Not even a set lost RG 2011 - Biggest win of Roger's vs Novak and did dent a bit of...

Fedal fans, is this what it felt like when a comedian started winning matches against your Federer and your Nadal? As a Djokovic fan, my heart beats every time I see that acne defined face and it feels like the kid haunts my sleep. What if, what if, my mind goes, the Earth's Mightiest Warrior...

Now that Wimbledon is well behind us, this is a good time to look back at what worked well for Nole. As I saw, his movement is still at its peak, going from corner to corner stretching. On grass his stamina is no issue even losing a 25 mins service game and then coming to win set 4. His backhand...

On a scale of 10 to 10, 10 being stunn... Ugh I had a completely different OP design planned prior to today. :X3: Have your say on the tournament and clash of generations we just witnessed. I'm out lol.

Novak Djokovic beat Stefanos Tsitsipas 6-3, 7-6(4), 7-6(5) in the Australian Open final, 2023 on hard court It was Djokovic’s landmark and record extending 10th title at the event, as well as record equalling 21st Slam title. He’d go onto win the French Open soon after to set a new record...

Novak Djokovic beat Casper Ruud 7-6(1), 6-3, 7-5 in the French Open final, 2023 on clay It was Djokovic’s record breaking 23rd Slam title and made him the first player in history to win a triple career Grand Slam. Ruud was playing his third Slam final and had been runner-up the previous year...

Federer: SF: 7-1 Won: Roddick (W03), Kiefer* (AO06), Gasquet (W07), Monfils (RG08), Del Potro (RG09), Raonic (W14), Chung* (AO18) Lost: Nadal (RG05) F: 5-1 Won: Baghdatis* (AO06), Gonzalez* (AO06), Djokovic (USO07), Murray (USO08), Soderling (RG09) Lost: Del Potro (USO09) Nadal...

1.) 2006 French Open QF: Novak Djokovic vs Rafael Nadal - Nadal was leading 6-4, 6-4 when Djokovic decided to stop due to lower back pain Djokovic was 19 yrs old. 2.) 2007 Wimbledon SF: Novak Djokovic vs Rafael Nadal - Nadal was leading 3-6, 6-1, 4-1 when the fourth-seeded Serb complained of...

On a scale of 10 to 10, 10 being stunning.

I'm not sure what to say, and I never know who will agree or who will simply be reasonable. Of course, I eagerly anticipated the showdown between the two best players in the world -- Djokovic and Alcaraz. Before Alcaraz (apparently) cramped, they were tied at a set apiece and just starting the...

A crazy stat heading into 2023 French Open: Novak Djokovic has won 16 of the last 31 Slams he has played in since Wimbledon 2014. That is 51% in the last 9 years. Earth’s mightiest since 2014 summer !!

Djokovic has won a lot in his life, with highest career win % on the tour of 83.4%. But when it comes to single hander players he has a lot of issues. Career W/L Vs 2 hander 804/143 with 84.9% win rate. Vs 1 hander 243/64 with 79.1% win rate. Clearly Federer and Wawrinka has caused him issues...

Right now against Machac at Dubaï. :unsure:

https://www.atptour.com/en/news/djokovic-infosys-beyond-the-numbers-february-2023 Will win slams til at least 2025

Last year an in-form Alcaraz got stopped by Ribdal at Indian Wells, then nabbed 2 wins against a rusty Djokodal at Madrid. Even in his semi-charged state, match-unfit Djoker produced a tough match for Chaz and it seemed we were in for more fun throughout the rest of the year. But some Covid BS...

For a future safeguard against overhyping the latest mug, let's make a benchmark of what it is actually possible for 17 year olds, 25 year olds, 35 year olds to do in tennis. Think Alcaraz's level is the highest ever from a 19 year old on HC? Think Fed's peak on grass is the highest ever? Now...

Who have been the best coaches for the Big 3? Vote in the poll.

This is meant primarily for Djokovic fans though I know our insecure and suffering Fedal fans may jump in with some nasty comments. Forgive them, as they are somewhat in shock that their favorites have lost the lead in the GOAT race. I have written the things that I think may be the drives for...
