Basic nolefams hold the line

Subway Tennis said:
I vaguely remember Federer’s response back in the day when someone asked him why he doesn’t use Twitter and he said “Why would I?”

It always reminds me of a simpler time when a famous person didn’t have to engage social media and could see a platform like Twitter for the potential time-wasting PITA that it is.

The trouble now is that social media has dug its claws in, and social media metrics factor into endorsement contracts, so people in that sphere have to play the game.

yes its just ridiculous. I really don't need to know what anyone had for lunch, who they had it with, when they burped etc. If they want to advertise mundane things, well clearly its to keep themselves relevant and to attract money. You don't want to attract the negative, well you have a choice. Don't post.

Dude, they’ve been friends for years. Obviously, she’s support Fed no matter what the records say. What were you expecting?

For sure, it would have been amazing, but he didn’t keep the records. Does that mean his fans and his friends should stop supporting him?

No need to stop supporting fed. But he has lost the GOAT race now hasn't he.

When he was ahead everyone called him the GOAT. Now he is decisively behind Nole. Every record.
 
The hypocrisy.

I don't mind Nadal being CGOAT (consensus GOAT), or Fed being PGOAT (populatity GOAT). The only important thing is that Novak is simply the GOAT. :)

Deep down you and me both know than Djokovic is inferior to Federer peak for peak, otherwise Federer would not be holding a MP against Djokovic at almost 38. The age gap helps Novak to do what he does against Federer.

However GOAT is only 1 and that is the person who has records, there are no IFs and BUTs there, so whoever has the numbers is the GOAT, since Djokovic has it, he is the greatest of his era and hence called GOAT.

So there are no terms like CGOAT or PGOAT or such nonsense, there is only GOAT i.e Slams Leader. Federer held this for so long and now there is a new person who has won the race.
 
Federer having mp at 38 doesn't mean peak for peak he is ahead. This actually proves nothing. Since Federer fans said he peak ended in what 2007?

One bad day one bad match which Nole even won while being ahead for 95% of the time is very poor example. But that's what the peak conversations lead up to. That's how Safin becomes unbeatable. These are just games people are playing in the head.
 
Federer would have reduced Djokovic to his personal pigeon status at W & USO if they were of the same age.

The racquet skills difference between them is that massive.
 
However the thing about records seem on the pt. Especially considering all 3 have played in same conditions and Nole had actually had it tougher along the way. He doesn't make excuses and he doesn't need to make excuses but at one time he had 3 big contenders at each slam for a few years. And Nole still kept very close to Federer's records during this time.

Scott Morrison gave Nadal a headstart in the slams race after they were tied but it seems Novak cut that down too, looks like Nadal was always destined end up below Djokovic in the hierarchy.

Nadal battling Federer in Fed's peak was all useless in hindsight it seems..... Nadal's peer who was passing comments in 2006-07 like Nadal is beatable on clay, federer is going down etc etc has finally managed to turn the tables around on both of them

This was Nadal's destiny, he was never in the game, forever below the emperor Federer now below the emperor's successor.

True: as No1 vs No2
Federer 12-10
Nadal 2-11
Djokovic 16-8
 
How clueless are the foot soldiers of the bot-brigade? They just don't get that this kind of social media warfare is one of the reasons why many fans can't bring themselves to cheer for Djokovic.

Djokovic fans can afford to behave as bad as they want, it won't matter in the end if Nole keeps on winning, sooner or later everyone will have to accept the numbers.

In other words, Superman no longer rules earth, now General Zod rules earth, so it doesn't matter how bad Zod supporters are, we will all have to kneel before Zod.

Federer is Superman, Djokovic is General Zod here.
 
This deserved another thread. Happened on the same day.

Indians fans held the line after a tennis player from Serbia had suggested India use uncivilized.

Before leaving India - Adios India. See you never ever ever ever EVER again.
After reaching Munich - Hello civilization.

It is her view, so we cannot complain of racism. She must have had bad experience, thats why she is saying that, I believe her. I did not know who she was until a few minutes back when you posted about her, but I trust her.

She had a bad experience, and she was within her rights to say never again. But the following tweet 'hello civilization' was way out of line, in my opinion.

Nadal had extra footspeed, extra RPMs on his forehand that was left handed.

Nole did not have anything as such, someone as bland as him would be sitting duck for Federer's talent. Nole is so bad that he had just just 1 wimbledon title until his 27th birthday, Federer already had like 5-6 wimbledons by then, no chance for Nole, just way above his paygrade if the ages are same.

Be happy Nole is younger, otherwise he would have very few wins over Federer at Wimbledon and US Open. The man is just inferior on those 2 courts, even Murray has beaten him there, lol.

He has, but I don’t see how Fed losing the GOAT race has anything to do with a friend of his having to be called out for a supportive social media post.

It had nothing to do with Djokovic. Not everything is about Djokovic, bro.

You are saying the comments by some other Serbian about India should make us stop supporting Nole? Nole has fans all over the world including India. We are not going to stop.

No, I am saying two 'holding the line' tennis news came to light yesterday. The one I mentioned deserved a thread. She was in the united cup team with Djo.

Well yeah, it is totally subjective. :giggle:

Who won the most is objective and factual, but who is considered the greatest to ever do something is totally subjective. Otherwise people would be saying that Margaret Court is the greatest women's tennis player ever. But people say it's either Serena, Martina or Steffi.

Or in basketball people would be saying that Bill Russell is the greatest basketball player ever. Not LeBron or Jordan. And of course it's Jordan. :giggle:

In baseball who is the greatest baseball player ever? A lot of people say it's Willie Mays. Is it?

In football is it Jim Brown or Tom Brady or someone else? Is it Patrick Mahomes now?

(And I wish that Kelce would retire so he could Taylor Swift with him, she makes me not like the Chiefs. I'm with Jay-Z, Beyoncé got 32 Grammys and not once was album of the year. And somehow Taylor Swift now has 4?! More than Frank Sinatra and Stevie Wonder. What the f*ck is this? Anyway, I digress... ) :laughing:

In boxing Rocky Marciano was 49-0. Floyd Mayweather was 50-0. But the person who actually has G.O.A.T. Incorporated is the true greatest of all times, Muhammad Ali.

I even have a book that says he's the GOAT...

www.taschen.com

Greatest of All Time. A Tribute to Muhammad Ali. TASCHEN Books. TASCHEN

Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee with the Muhammad Ali tribute GOAT, an epic edition incl. expert essays, interviews, and thousands of images.

But yeah, it's totally "I like this person better so they're the GOAT."

The numbers only matter to the people who it matters to, and to no one else.


And of course Rolex made a great ad...


They do have a point.

Of course, the greatest tennis player ever is Pete Sampras. Or Rod Laver if you want to say that. Then Federer. And I think I would put Nadal next and Borg after him. And then Djokovic at number 6.

Of course you would :D

I guess after the tournament, the whole of Serbia agreed with me too, albeit for a different reason. However that reason was fueled by my original concern. Djoko knew people were watching and wanted to play it safe, and that got on Dodik's nerves.

I've shared my opinions on the Saudi takeover btw. I think being sneaky and insincere is a stronghold of the bot brigade only, other fanbases don't want to suppress news like they do.

Give me one example of Nadal or Federer fans attacking an icon like Navratilova because she said something remotely unflattering about the cult figurehead.

You are criticizing Nadal for his benign Saudi deal only because he is from Spain. Sob.

No one said that in those Nadal-Saudi threads. See the difference? Half the Rafans expressed disappointment. I joked about how kids training in Rafa academy would be better than flying planes into tall buildings. I didn't report any of those threads to be deleted, I doubt any Rafa fans did.

Now I am not sure if you are naive or just pretending to be so. It was not just playing, lol. He moved the tournament to another country in the first place. It was the last year of the leased license of ATP250 which Djokovics got at a discounted price during the uncertainties of the pandemic years. Tiriac thought Romania/Hungary would be too strict during the pandemic and gave the license away almost for free. Djokovics being Djokovics wanted to use it to the fullest and decided to hold the last edition of the tournament in Dodik land, with an obvious agenda. The whole narrative of upcoming 500 license, expansion of the tennis center etc was pure smoke-screen.
