2022 Rome QF: [1] Novak Djokovic vs Félix Auger-Aliassime [8]

[pj80]

Felix will be a force on grass maybe this year itself, that serve and his forehand will be amazing. If he can stretch Djokovic on clay like this then on grass for which his game suits to the T it will be a match to savour

If Djo can go toe to toe with Fed at Wimbledon, he should be able to handle Felix too. And clay is not Djo's best surface either...

Fed wasn't at his best and yet Nole required massive chokes in tiebreakers to win in all 3 of their finals

Top form Djokovic would somehow teleport to some those line crushing serves from FFA? Djokovic has been playing great tennis so far in this match, so has FFA. There is no chance to break Aliassimes serve in majority of these games he's serving in order to have a crushing scoreline.

You underestimate Bosnian Pyramids, as many before you.

Incorrect.

 

[Pandaman]

When the tour resumes to normalcy and there are no Vaccination restrictions , Young guys will want to become number One and 35+ aged Djokovic will make it too difficult for them to become number one or maintain their number 1 ranking .

Greatest Number One for a reason and one of the greatest athletes ever.

It's odd to me that France and the UK, generally more liberal and strict about COVID, have waived travel restrictions, but the US hasn't. Tennis is the quintessential COVID sport. They can make him wear a mask and live in a bubble. I'm going to be frustrated at him and the rules if we don't let him in come September.

Fed was at his absolute best...especially at Wimbledon

It's arguably his second best...

"Number 9 in the world" is just another word for "mug" around here. Even if you do it before reaching legal drinking age.

Legal drinking age in Quebec is 18

Just like Djokovic at RG20

Nole will win this, but I'll be shocked if the next opponent he plays can't take him out. Everyone left in the draw is a better player than Novak currently, especially on clay

Many of these posters feel comfortable predicting hypothetical matches
