GOAT stuff

 

[ND-13]

That is HUGE

Off the chain .

Incredible scenes.

 

[Hitman]

GOAT stuff

He's won 6 out of the last 7 finals he's played in, with at least two on each surface.

 

[ghostofMecir]

GOAT stuff

What about 17/18?

 

[Hitman]

What about 17/18?

Come on, you're a Fed fan, you should know it was 18/19.

 

[Nadalgaenger]

Probably would have made (and won) Wimbledon 2020 and AO and USO 2022

 

[HashDump]

Incredible scenes.

Looks like @Hitman is the pain in the ass for most of people here. I wonder why... The guy is perfectly normal and deserves respect.

 

[itrium84]

What about 17/18?

Also GOAT stuff. A sign of previously unseen domination, one of the big reasons why Fed became GOAT. As soon as I seen OP thread, 17/18 was the 1st thing on my mind.

 

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

35 Grand slam finals. LOL. Absolutely insane

 

[StrongRule]

This is what happens in an era where your main competition are players like Sinner and Tsitsipas.

 

[maupp]

Amazing consistency at the very highest level. I think the only final he missed in this run was the RG one he lost to Nadal in the QF. It took the supreme being of clay to stop him from making it 10/10. Impressive stuff.

 

[T007]

GOAT stuff

GLOAT stuff

 

[TheNachoMan]

And it should be more too. Wimbledon being cancelled, AO and USO bans last year, USO DQ, could be 39 slam finals..lol

 

[DSH]

Probably would have made (and won) Wimbledon 2020 and AO and USO 2022

What does that tell you?

 

[fedfan24]

He’s even better in his 30s than 20s… in the evolved era of tennis too. He would destroy 2008-2012 fedal

 

[DSH]

He’s even better in his 30s than 20s… in the evolved era of tennis too. He would destroy 2008-2012 fedal

12 GS titles in his 20s and he's about to emulate that in his 30s in half the time.
It's absurd!

 

[itrium84]

GLOAT stuff

That, too

12 GS titles in his 20s and he's about to emulate that in his 30s in half the time.
It's absurd!

I think probably because the competition in his 20s was tougher and because he was still evolving as a player, mentally and physically.

Djokovic has been putting extra time in the weight room. He used to be skinnier. His quads look a little bigger now too.

 

[Mike Sams]

If Djokovic loses on Sunday, the 'weak era' argument begins.
The board will hail Carlos as the new future legend and current great while calling the bulk of Djokovic's prior Wimbledon wins as being mostly against clowns (Berretini, Anderson), losers (Kyrgios), and old men (Federer).

He plays a lot better in his 30s than in much of his 20s

Nobody outside TTW thinks this and TTW is for fun, not for any real analysis. Let’s just enjoy the tennis

 

[nolefam_2024]

Your guys competition is same. Anderson and Ruud. Rafa is just so brittle and it's HIS fault.

 

[InsideOut900]

Would have been 10/10 if Ned wasn't in his half at RG 22.

Thiem in a 5 setter, injury, DQ, Nadal on clay. That's what stopped him from making every single final in the last 6 years.

 

[Midaso240]

More dominant outside his peak than he was in it

 

[Backspin1183]

Gotta give it to him for padding his stats in a very weak era.

 

[junior74]

Unbelievable consistency from Novak! Fierce competitor with both fire and ice in those veins.

He is 26 and peak, though

 

[Mainad]

He's won 6 out of the last 7 finals he's played in, with at least two on each surface.

7 out of 8 come Sunday.

Even if Novak wins on Sunday the haters will just bang on about weak era.

 

[Hitman]

7 out of 8 come Sunday.

It's going to be a heck of challenge to make that come true.

 

[mattennis]

Even if this era is full of inferior players with weak/loser mentality, he gets all the credit for staying focused and dedicated at his old age.

 

[MichaelNadal]

All I know is he was looking like a snack yesterday with those thick legs

 

[Blahovic]

RG 2022 QF was basically the final too, it's just that Nadal's seeding was artificially low so they met early.

 

[StrongRule]

No it wasn't.

 

[Milanez82]

Can he make it 11 out of 12

 

[BauerAlmeida]

Can he make it 11 out of 12

I think so, he will make the final at the AO but not RG. It will depend on the draw in the latter, but I see him losing in the SF.

 

[Realfan]

Shows how great Djokovic is as Sinner has beaten him and Tsitsipas has defeated Federer.

 

[Third Serve]

The citizens of planet Earth may now sleep peacefully upon hearing this news.

 

[big ted]

he wouldnt have this "record" if he got the vax lol

 

[leodevlin]

Or as haters call it "weak era"

 

[Neptune]

I think so, he will make the final at the AO but not RG. It will depend on the draw in the latter, but I see him losing in the SF.

1st round over 4 hours, Nole's longest 1st round in slam.
