Djokovic and the future

[Jonas78]

I am no tennis spesialist, but love to watch. I have read many people saying Rafa's decline was expected because of his tough and demanding style. Many people also say Rogers more economical style is partly why he still is top 3 in the world. Of course people ages differently, but what can we expect from Novak, based on his playing style compared to Rafa and Fed?

Exploding ankles at any moment.

I always thought he is a good combination of Federer and Nadal. So his decline should be somewhere in between Fed's and Rafa's.

Who can say? The biggest knock on him early was he had no stamina and seemed to fade in hot/unfavorable conditions.
Now he is the tour's resident Iron Man.
I could see him washed up next year or dominating the tour for another 3-4 seasons.

Overnight he transformed from Retireovic to Ultron, courtesy gluten free diet and hypoxia therapy.

As long as he has science by his side, he can handle the tour.

Well I'd like to think his skill would have something to do with it as well! Science is overrated anyway.

Well, he went from 1 major to 11. Science deserves the credit.

Yeah, first it was lack of popularity, then weak era, now he's well known doper. How desperate are some posters here?
Currently there are some interesting matches in progress at IW like Berdych /Delpotro, Kyrgios /ARV Monfils/PCB , but hey people who dont care for Novak but care for tennis are all over the place with lame, envy posts wherever they can see his name .

Yeah i was really after some objective views from people who knows more about tennis than me when i posted the thread. Not my intention to post another thread with bad comments about Novak, guess there are enough of those threads already
