Foe and Shelton could have a rematch in the third round. That 2023 match was really the point where Foe started spiraling for months; though he has finally started to recover a bit from 2024 Wimbledon onward.

2018 US Open is where Fed lost to millman, and we all thought he should retire or will retire soon.
Nole is same as now as Fed then.

No, Nole is coming off the win in Paris. Djere will quite likely fall to Struff, who has never really given Novak much trouble.

Yes Djokovic draw is tricky but what fedal fans wanted was what sinner got,
meddy in qf and raz in semis

Is this a JOKE?? Not too much interested but come on this is beyond ridiculous. LOL. Will Djokovic ever get Alcaraz/Sinner in his half? Sinner Alcaraz should be on opposite for once as best players of the season.
Sinner Alcaraz is in their primes and could produce great memorable matches. This even takes that. Final will be a lot more memorable than SF.
I'm losing words tbh even if it is totaly random i would deliberately place Alcaraz Sinner different half.
With insane luck Djokovic keep staying at No2 with little points ahead against Alcaraz who won 2 slam. Yeah Djokovic only had OG whole year though that doesn't give points.

USO 23 was insanely good draw for Djokovic only in AO he got one of Sinner/Alcaraz in his half. RG again avoided both. Wimbledon same story lol to the draw. Again.
3 of the last 4 slams Check Djokovic's draw.

Yeah but he doesn't need to i mean he can lose thats normal. I mean few time was okay but both Wimbledon and now USO this is beyond dream lol. And it's frustrating if you are non Djokovic fan. It's like insane.
Same in Queens where Alcaraz lost couldn't defend points. But idk with the draw that he got Djokovic secured his No:2 spot in Wimbledon by reaching final which also helped him to got this draw again. He probably wouldn't reach final with other half.

Only joke is YOU
2023 RG - Djokovic in Alcaraz half
2023 Wimbledon - Sinner in Djokovic half
2024 AO - Sinner in Djokovic half
It hurts fedal fans but that doesn't mean we have to suffer to your crying and moaning
After USO, next time djokovic will be seeded 4th of 5th and will never get such a draw. Nolefams enjoy and do NOT let the non nolefams sour the moment.
Rublev is a walking bye and Zverev will not make it there like usual
Yes it’s really fun watching Djokovic breeze his way to another final, that’s what we all tune in for.
Endless cakewalks everytime since 2015. We want to see the old man tested vs the best of this era. Best possible outcome is an inform Zverev SF then a fresh Alcaraz or sinner in the F.

I see so many haters some claims they are not but they were crying a lot more difficult Nadal's draws. Some were crying Ex Nadal's RG 2021 draw.
Tell the other ones. Firstly Djokovic is not the 2 of the best players this season. Thats why i'm upset. He is not the best player Alcaraz Sinner for once should be another half.
You don't need to defend your guy lol just check the other draws.
Funny thing doesn't matter whether Djokovic is No:1 or No2 like last year at USO.
See Sinners draw at Wimbledon and now USO keep getting Medvedev Alcaraz the guy shouldn't be NO1. Isn't he is insanely unlucky or unfair.

Djokovic doesn't need a single win from OG onwards its all for fun for him.
He was best for last 52 weeks, tennis ranking doesn't work on what he did in 2024 alone.

If they were #1 and #2, then they would be automatically placed on opposite halves. All Alcaraz had to do was beat Monfils and Rune, and he would have moved up to #2

Rubles is a walking bye for literally anyone in a major QF.
Zed might not make it there and he is not known to be a big match player anyway.
Carl or Sinner could tire each other out in their semi, assuming Sinner isn't even tired after going through Med.

It's normal to lose from time to time he can't win every match.
For Djokovic i must say while idk the form but Shelton r4 not easy probably but other than that it's just a dream draw.

Those guys have a 0.000001% chance of beating a fit Djokovic. Alcaraz, Sinner, Medvedev and Zverev are the only threats, and 3/4 are stacked in one half. Zverev is the weakest of the bunch too, with 0 slam wins over Djokovic.

Hopefully if he drops to 4. Zverev will get no2 seed. Then for Australian open 2025 he gets Zverev type draw and the other 3 on other side
It less likely but even in top 4, Novak can still get a bit lucky with draw like Zverev has.

They were always civil to me. I never saw them instigate anything with anybody.
My guess is that somebody baited them heavily with some terrible trolling, then turned them in when they responded.
What a stinking shame.

He could have a great end to the season and get no2. Say he does better indoors than raz. He could sneak no2. He isn’t far away now. Then if djoko no4 he could end up away from sinner. Alcaraz and meddy with luck.
Not likely it happens but even if djoko is out the top 2, he could get luck with draw but he probably needs Zverev to steal 2nd spot over raz.
I actually prefer it how it is. I really started to like that rivalry recently, but I still want it to be for a place to meet the "final boss" Djokovic. Then the story is "can the winner prevent Djokovic from winning #25 or not."
I'm still not able to care enough for a pure next gen final. No matter how good they play, it would lack tension, because it doesn't matter for me who wins then. And, as a side-effect, I would have a much harder time to motivate someone to watch with me.

Djokovic Sinner will have 2 more slam matches before they retire I hope.
They should meet in USOpen final and many times before end of the year. Its 2 best on the planet.

I'm on the other side. I believe Sinner Alcaraz can produce great matches. Their USO 22 is a good one as RG this year.
I think their match on HC especially USO could really be great.
It will also look bad in case Djokovic losses early then to have a defacto final between 2 best players of the season in SF.

Aus open is too far away .... everybody will be fresh by that time .... no guarantee how much Novak will decline in the off season while the young players get better.
This Slam is a must win.... just hope he is full fit and everybody else collapses ... especially Alcaraz.
As @Rafa4LifeEver said in the other thread of his
Alcaraz can Outmuscle + Outlast + Outclutch all at the same time.. the only guy who is a big threat.
Sinner can Outmuscle but cannot Outlast and damn right Novak will Outclutch him too.
Med can Outlast but cannot Outmuscle and damn right Novak will Outclutch him too.
Zverev can Outlast+Outmuscle but Mentally he is a weak man.
Everybody else is a pu$$y,
So Djokovic need to really make this opportunity count. Don't trust the next AO, many variables will be in play by then.
