Djokovic didn’t decline at slams. Competition just got tougher.

[Kuclas]

only alcaraz and sinner are good players right now able to win slams others are all mediocre at the moment

Correct. Novak will win at least 2 grand slams this year if not for sinner and alcaraz

That’s how Novak was able to feast on the clowns from 2020-2023 as fed and nadal faded away.

He would still be feasting on these clown if not for jannik and Carlos even at age 38. Novak just toying with Taylor Fritz the other night. And Fritz made the finals last year.

Novak has declined the last 3 years but the clowns haven’t exactly picked up their standard either. Clowns are those born 1988-2000.

Actually, it’s both at the same time.

He reached 4 semi final in a year at 37-38 years and you are arguing age not a factor very interesting

Of course, the main reason was that the organizers didn't put Sinner or Alcaraz as their opponents in the quarterfinals of RG, Wimbledon and the US Open.
They thus made the Serbian play one more round in this type of tournament.
