As far as what may happen in the future, who knows but I never put a ceiling on any ATG no matter who they are. I never did it with Fedal and I definitely won't be doing it with Djokovic. But it's all good and no harm done really. Thanks man.
Imo no
He he, that's some nice gloating there. But fair enough, enjoy your moment.You were wrong about the number of majors, about him winning in his 30s and about having a year like Fedal did last year but who's counting?
I don't believe in jinxes and I certainly don't listen to an old Yugoslav communist like you, who had been hiding in his cave while Djokovic was in a slump.
LOL
Thanks, bro. It wasn't a long break, though, just been very busy at work.LOL
Good to see you back.
What do you think of Fed's future? Hasn't looked very good in a while but you never know if he will channel the GOATness in himself again.
Personally I am mostly happy that he is playing much better now. Titles were always going to come as a result of that improvement since Novak's quality is unquestionable. It's not "painful" to watch him anymore, and that's the biggest plus.Thanks, bro. It wasn't a long break, though, just been very busy at work.
Regarding Fed, you never know, but he's been on and off during the whole season, so it's hard to predict anything. I want to believe that he has another shot at a Major, but it doesn't look promising at the moment.
What about you, are you celebrating this success?
Yeah, that win in the SF at Wimbledon was huge for Novak. It definitely gave him wings and boosted his confidence for the future events. Honestly, I didn't expect him to go all the way after that loss at Queen's, not because of the loss itself, but because of the way he lost - he folded mentally.Personally I am mostly happy that he is playing much better now.

I would lie if I said I/we didn't celebrate the Wimbledon win though. It was really special because in that moment it was at least a temporary end of his suffering, and simply because it's Wimbledon. That semifinal in particular was huge. I didn't even watch the second day of it but me and my friend were really tense when we were doing something else at the time, because we knew from the occasional peeking at flashscore that the match was going back and forth in the decider. And you know how brutal exchanges between Djokovic and Nadal can be so just picturing how their match looked like was a nightmare.
Though it's easier sometimes just to follow the livescore and spare yourself from the tension of watching a live match.
Paris
Delpo himself has been ill/injured while Fed has been on a bit of an upside.
It is special to see a guy coming back from the bottom to achieve something, much more than that if you're a fan obviously. I got to see that as a tennis fan at AO 2017. None of the slams that followed including the 8th Wimbledon felt that good.Personally I am mostly happy that he is playing much better now.

I'm curious as to how Djoko vs. Rafa unfolds in 2019 (should they meet in 2018, Djoko is a firm, firm favorite).Yeah, that win in the SF at Wimbledon was huge for Novak.

How could you not watch the second day, it was arguably the most important match Djokovic played since the 2016 FO final?
He will probably miss Basel and London
I agree that Nadal's only chance against Djokovic is to be the aggressor, because the days of Rafa outgrinding Djokovic are far behind him, all that changed in 2011.
Prediction: Nadal will either skip the rest of the season, or his "knee condition" will hinder him from finishing the season, if Novak shows up in good form in Vienna and Bercy.
dang, this guy's gone too.
And Nadal blinks first by withdrawing. Not the way I was expecting the return to #1, but the race to YE#1 isn't over yet! Not unless Djokovic wins Paris and reaches the WTF final.
Follow up.
