Jokervich
Hall of Fame
There are many posts on here saying Djokovic will rack up 30+ slams and be winning them in his 40's, but to me it looks like the young guys are steadily getting closer and closer to beating him. Zverev took him to 4 close sets in Australia and 5 sets just now at the US Open. Tsitsipas took him to 5 sets at RG. Musetti took him to 5 sets at RG. Berrettini took 1 set off him in their 3 matches this year. Even Brooksby took a set off him and was giving him a tough match for the first 2 sets. Medvedev admittedly got destroyed at the AO but it was close initially, until he had a meltdown and gave up.
Some of these were mental lapses. Others were physical fitness issues. But it looks like they are very slowly getting closer. What do you think?
edit: btw, I think Medvedev loses in 3 or 4 in the US Open final, so don't bump this thread after he loses just to rub it in. Making that prediction here right now.
