The young HC Goat smells blood, alright.

[Bartelby]

Djoko risks irrelevance, indeed!

 

[The Big Foe fan]

And don't push the false narrative of "young HC GOAT" just because it justifies your nole-defending-ego..

25yo priming player who requires a 35yo tour veteran to skip a slam in order to boost his winning chances is anything but a HC goat.

 

[ForehandCross]

(Mo lahyani voice) Correction , Mr. Zverev wishes to say that If no top 10 player goes to Australia then Mr. Zverev would be no. 1 .



That too is a maybe.

I think he can definitely beat the likes of BwehLev & Rude

[guanzishou]

(Mo lahyani voice) CORRECTION!!!!!! If no top 10 player goes to Australia then Alexander Zverev would be no. 1 .

Missterrr Zzverevvvh has NO chance remaining. L'œuf - ForTEEE

A little IF and a big IF.

Yes, your eyes have been open. You can thank me later. Only the sharpest tennis analytical eye could see that the guy experienced a 2003 Federer moment in 2021. Some fans are for a rude awakening because Alexander Sascha is here to stay, and here to stay for a very long time.

 

[Sudacafan]

And how will they fix the draws so that Zverev doesn’t meet a top ten player?

 

[Adv. Edberg]

Djoko will play and Djoko will win. Doesn’t matter if he’s unvaccinated. Different rules and laws apply to the rich.

Blah blah blah..

 

[safinmafia]

Yeah, with all those top ten wins at slams and that stellar performance in your one and only slam final, no wonder you are so confident!!!

 

[McLovin]

how many forum members here hate all big3 players?????????

'Hate' is not the correct word. 'Bored' is a better description of my feelings.

I'm just tired of watching them play. There's no excitement anymore. You could literally watch a Fed/Nadal/Djoker match from 5 years ago and see the same point construction and strategies.

At this point I'm more interested in a Benoit Paire match than a Big 3 match...

Zverev eyeing up that #1 spot like

"It beckons", he says:

sorry not hate but dislike or bored

 

[Rozroz]

Medvedev not playing?

 

[zagor]

If Novak doesn't play I actually wouldn't mind Zverev winning, just to witness all the glorious butthurt on TTW.

 

[sredna42]

Medvedev not playing?

Probably not, unless the CCP friendly Communist Vic government suddenly recognize the Russian vaccine.

The main difference being that Fed won a slam in 2003, he got over that mental hurdle unlike Zed.

That said, I do think he was playing slam winning tennis at last USO. First time I thought he showed championship form in a slam. I mean there's 2020 USO he almost won but even there he stumbled through the draw really. 2021 USO he was rock solid aside from the Sock match.

I ridicule the guy for the "no top 10 wins a slam" as much as the next TTWer but it wouldn't exactly shock me if he won a HC slam next year.

 

[guanzishou]

Medvedev resides in Monte Carlo, so maybe he didn't get Sputnik. He knows that AO only recognises certain vaccine brands. He already said that he'll play in AO.

 

[MichaelNadal]

He's only ensuring that Novak goes lol

 

[guanzishou]

He has to get past Andeh first.

 

[Biotic]

The young HC GOAT spitting facts right there.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

The IW linesmen don't like him though. LOLZ

Allegedly.

 

[Jonesy]

So we are finally entering the Zverev era. Only Djokovic can stop him. What will happen?

I'm indifferent.

I'm indifferent.

I am too, I'd just like to see some fireworks and ABZ butthurt on TTW.

 

[Frenchy-Player]

"if Novak doesn’t go to Australia" dumb declaration, he confesses himself he's inferior or afraid of Novak what type of champion makes that kind of statement. For the rest :

 

[AO13]

I swear to God every single time I watch this over again, it becomes more legendary to me.

The way he emphasised if.

You are right, this do become more legendary every time I watch, lol

 

[Kralingen]

Novak is truly the last defense of TTW against the oncoming cascade of Zverev season.

Abs chains and swag is all you have to look forward to from 2023-2026. How does that make you feel, TTW denizens? Personally, I feel a bit queasy.

[UnforcedTerror]

Djokovic
11,540 - 2,600 = 8,940

Zed
7,840 - 785 = 7,055


If Djokovic skips it and Zed takes it
#1 Zed
#2 Djoko
#3 Med

That would be epic actually.

 

[Kralingen]

Really only at the HC Slams though. Zverev can be a year round contender, Dani is a complete mug from March-July.

Alcaraz is our only hope.

 

[D.Nalby12]

Yet to beat Top 10 in slam. Someone please give him reality check.

 

[Tennisfan339]

It's true though. The gap between Zverev and Medvedev is small right now, barely 800 points I think. If the Olympics Games awarded points, Zverev would already be ahead of him.

Zverev defends 720 points (from the semi in 2020) at AO and very few at the ATP Cup, so let's say 750.
Medvedev defends 1700 between ATP Cup and AO.
Djokovic defends 2665. If he skips everything and Zverev beats Medvedev in final of AO, he becomes #1... and until Madrid he isn't defending too many points, 500 in Acapulco, 180 in IW and that's about it.

And yes lol... if Djokovic skips and Medvedev loses before the final, Zverev could win without beating a top10. I don't trust players like Ruud, Rublev Berrettini or Hurkacz to make it to the quarters or semis if they're in his half...

 

[TimHenmanATG]

Whoever wins the Australian Open will the indisputable world number 1 - in the ATP Race...

Alcaraz is our only hope.

Meddy will be one of the worst no.1's if he doesn't learn how to excel on another surface.

I think every other no.1 was good on at least 2 surfaces.

 

[mike danny]

Z lost his only slam final badly and Medvedev still owns him. Even without Djokovic, he could still go home empty-handed.

Med is taking care of him.

Yes, but what did the young HC Goat -- Medvedev -- say? You know the one with 100% more Slams...

This kid is always getting ahead of himself. Boy, I hope he gets Murray or Kyrgios. Where will Zverev sit in the rankings if he loses in the first round?

 

[PrinceMoron]

Millman first round

My neighbour's cat doesn't like him.

Is your neighbor's name Schrodinger? If so, it's only a probabilistic dislike.
