Admission from a Djokovic detractor

I’m actually enjoying the Djokovic run. Partly because I’m on team ABZ. But also he’s my villain and plays that role so well. Him beating sinner and then facing Charles in the final would be lots of fun.
Charles must win though should it happen. I need a hero’s ending.
That's amazing. What you have said is exactly how I feel. Except inwant Sinner to win as I want a Sinner v Alcaraz final as now is the time and the game needs that match up in a slam final.

Agreed. Either way I think we get a good final. Musetti vs Djoker would even be interesting considering their history in Paris. But yes we need Charles vs sinner slam final asap and now seems to be the time.

Can't see Musetti beating Alcaraz. He doesn't hit big enough and Alcaraz is absolutely devastating if he is not rushed. Tiafoe may have troubled him more as weird as that sounds. It's just one of those matchups Alcaraz v Musetti that suits a player perfectly in this case Alcaraz.
 
Novak just has to beat Sinner to reach his 38th slam final, to prove that he can take Sinner down at the latter's best! He already proves that he could upset Alcaraz!

Just my observation, but Novak seems a lot slower than at his best!

There is his motivation. To make his 38th Slam final at the age of 38! :cool:
 
I see the match as 60-40 in favor of Djokovic. Sinner can be beaten on clay and has only one clay title in his career and the Djokovic team are analyzing the Alcaraz tactics employed against Sinner with a fine-tooth comb. Djokovic has the variety and technical aptitude to execute the plan. Moreover, conditions will be slow and those high bouncing RG balls (they bounce higher than any of the balls in all four official slams-and I tried them all) which means even an old Djokovic will get to them. Finally, slower conditions make it more of about thinking, shot selection, and Tennis IQ which still favors Djokovic. Why did Djokovic beat Alcaraz in 2024 Olympics not because of brawn because of brains.
 
If Alcaraz can beat Sinner , we know that Djokovic could beat him too. It is no way given at this time what the result is going to be. The 80-20 in favor of Sinner is complete BS..

It is 55-45 in favor of Djokovic
 
If Djoker beats both sinner and alcaraz their careers will be forever tainted. Heck alcarazs already is with that Olympics and AO loss to him. If they lose RG too you won’t ever be able to take either guy seriously ever again regardless of what they accomplish in the future

Actually that's wrong

Djokovic beat Carlos because his tactics work best vs Carlos. While sinner and djokovic have same game plan.

I always say variety is overrated and POWER is bigger deal than variety. Gotta go with sinner in 4.

Agreed. Was rooting for Djoko to save tennis from the inevitable Zverev walkover in latter stages of slams. Thank god we'll have an entertaining match.
 
Is this the high quality content we need on the forum?
TTW discussion forums are more often boring-trolling playgrounds that sometimes have the rules s*ck out the truth but an honest feeling like the one of this OP here may bring in one of the spices needed. So, I do think this is worth reading and debating.
 
I will be honest

If Djokovic beats sinner the entire fedal brigade will be pissing their shorts and praying Djokovic doesn't win 4th rg.

But we are nolefams. We are not looking beyond sinner right now

Let us face it

Power hurts speed kills
Variety matters very little
This is modern tennis not 1970s

LOL, yes a Category 1 Clay tennis court played with WIlson RG balls played at night is the same as a Category 4 HC match played with Dunlop balls. The quicker the points the less thinking = why the hot humid conditions of Tokyo allowed Z to win. Sinner has translated his power to 1 clay title. Sure, he can win but this is not the same elements played in Shanghai or 2024 AO.

Djokovic took the ball early when needed in the Olympic match and tactically decided to attack the Alcaraz 2nd serve more often than Alcaraz who stood deep in the Outfield. If they played earlier, then I would've slightly favored Sinner.

I hope you are right. I would love for Nole to defy sinner right now.

Most of the Fedrer and nadal fans had long accepted their destiny.
You can cry a bucket but the day nadal retired race was over.
