djokovic

I know there’s been a lot of COMPLAINING about the level of play from the tour (from MYSELF included). But isn’t it sort of great that Nadal and especially Djokovic are exposing this? It means we don't have to listen to casuals talking up the absolute waste of a tour we have atm like it's...

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

EDIT: reminder here that Djoker REPLACES Fedal in their draws - he does not play them 3 ATGs, 3 wins at the Aussie Open aged 35 (sorry Stef). Obviously anyone who follows tennis and isn’t a Djokovic stan knows that his draw for this AO is one of the absolute weakest since the heady early...

Novak Djokovic has reached his 44th career grand slam semifinal. He has reached the semifinals: 10 times at the Australian Open 11 times at Roland Garros 11 times at Wimbledon 12 times at the US Open No other player in tennis history has reached the semis of each major 10...

Since there is so much talk about Novak faking an injury while being in heavily favoured conditions form and tournament-wise. Since the debate is so hot, let's see a statistical analysis of how many people think Djokovic is faking or exaggerating an injury and how many think he has real injury...

All these guys did epic inspirational stuff aged 35 at the AO. So let’s rank the runs: 4. Djokovic 2023 (could change depending on later rounds) 3. Federer 2017 = Nadal 2022 1.

Heckled constantly by some crowd members and in aggro with the masses of audience from the middle of set 2 onwards, gesturing at them defiantly and cupping his ear at them etc. What happened to the love from round 1?

From the start of 2022 to now, we’ve seen the next gen go a combined 1 win, 12 losses vs Djokodal aged 34-36 Rublev is 1-1 (that 1 being when Djokovic was just back from his long break) Zved is 0-1 Berry is 0-1 Stef is 0-4 Meddy is 0-5 Kyrgios, who is just about too old to be next gen but who I...

Djokovic fans: Vamos / thank you <whoever just defeated Nadal> Since [arbitrary time], Djokovic has a 1000% win record and Fedal have [something less] Nadal fans: [Random person] says Nadal is their favourite player! [Highlights of some match Nadal won in the past 10 years, probably on clay]...

Taking into account accomplishments, level of play and competition, I'd rank his seasons as follows (from 2008 onwards) from best to worst: 1. 2011 - This year takes it for me. 10 titles, 43 match winning streak to start the year, 3 slams, 4 masters titles. And of course he went 6-0 against...

Shout out to this interesting analysis from Reddit. Thought it would be worth getting The TTW Treatment. Notice the beautiful flatness of Frederick's line compared to Djokovic's humpy hill and Nadal's "things can only get better" slope. GOAT material? (am accepting submissions for what "The...

By accurate, I mean reflective of their top levels, longevity, whatever you decide, across schlems. The options are: Djokovic needs 1 more RG to do it (so he probably will anyway). He has lost 5 RG finals, all to Nadal except 1 to Stan where Djoker beat Nadal en route in 2015. He also lost 2...

Nadal came into the AO having taken 6 months off, and he got covid 3 weeks before the tournament. At the French Open, Nadal was dealing with an injured, numb foot and Djokovic by his own admission was still dealing with the fallout of earlier in the year. This then extended to Wimbledon where...

In general, players who are not into their prime until turning 21/22 are considered to be late bloomers in their respective levels. For example; Nadal, Hewitt, Zverev etc can be considered early bloomers; whereas Federer, Thiem, Murray etc can be considered late bloomers. I wonder what can be...

Nadal’s IRL grass career was a weird thing where he entered his prime aged 20 and left it aged 25. This was followed by 5 years of the kind of form you’d expect from a newcomer to the surface, but in his mid-late 20s, while he was still in his clay/HC prime. If his career had followed a more...

Yes, some fans gloat too much (Note; when your favorite player wins or your least favorite player loses, you haven't accomplished anything), but I hear so much incessant whining when a "rival" player achieves something. You know the pejorative terms: Weak Era, Mugs, Weak Draw, Career Inflation...

Anyone who watched Djokovic obliterate Rublev and still thinks he is on his last legs, to use an American expression, is 'whistling past the graveyard' which means putting on an optimistic read in dire circumstances. I am a physician and have watched Djokovic for years. His game has...

We never saw inside the bag and the umpire just allowed it. Nadal miraculously reached the final of this tournament straight after a 5 month break too :unsure:

What these 2 events showed is that while Djoker fans can enjoy hyping up his level against mugs, when he’s up against someone actually bringing a great level on HC, he will suffer. However, this is Bo3, not Bo5, and they also showed is, while he has walkabouts for a set or so, it’s super hard...

Federer’s first slam win at Wimbledon 03 was the beginning of a new era. He was back the following year with a vengeance, having already won the 2003 YE finals and 2004 AO, and exerted a period of tour-level dominance that would last several years. A teenage PETE’s magnificent 1990 US Open...

With his win today, Djokovic now has 234 wins over Top Ten players. His overall is 234-106 (68.8%) vs Federer 224-123 (64.6%) vs Nadal 185-100 (64.9%). They are 1, 2, 3 all time. Other important stats, Djokovic is one win away from being 50 WINS over Top Ten players ahead of Nadal. Also, Nadal...

What is the "breath shot" Djoko is taking with his bottle?? It's not the first time I see him doing that strange shoot!!

Murray walks with his back at an incline, a slight stoop. Not good for long term :/ The best forehand off a “neutral” rally ball was Fritz’s. He was hitting rockets and has a really safe action for generating power, keeping the ball low, and hitting with margin. Berry’s has more loopy topspin...

Djokovic and Nadal have played each other 18 times in "best of 5 set" tennis matches, all at slams. The H2H right now is 11-7 to Nadal: 8-2 to Nadal on clay, 3-2 to Djokovic on hard court and 2-1 to Djokovic on grass. In this time, neither player has ever come back from 2 sets to 0 or 2 sets to...

For example (these are just my picks): 2011 Federer, 2008 Nadal, 2015 Djokovic, 1996 Sampras and 1978 Borg face off with each other 10x in a round robin at RG - a series of RS hypotheticals... 2004 Federer, 2010 Nadal, 2011 Djokovic, 1995 Sampras and 1980 Borg face off with each other 10x in...

The last ray of sunshine in tennis… The moment we thought They Might Be Back… what happened to our big 5 :cry:
