There is a difference: Djokovic now still can handle guys 6 years younger than him. At least, he can't lose on GS against them.
When Federer was old like Djokovic today, he could not handle guys 6 years younger than him, like Djokovic. Actually, he can't beat Djokovic on GS for last 8 years.
So, it's not strange Federer can't handle 6 years younger players - he could not do that even when he was younger than Djokovic today.
On the other hand, Djokovic can do it, so that looks promising.

Nadal is a year older than NOVAK, not sure what you mean about his “two main contenders off their prime”?? That puts him off his prime too, or for the sake of your (failed) argument, you consider Novak as a late bloomer?
I also believe that Wawrinka, Murray and a few others were also his “main contenders” and he’s done quite ok against them too.
on the other hand, racking up the slams by taking out the greats like Phillapousis, Roddick, Baghdadis, Gonzales, Safin, Hewitt, 80-yo Agassi, etc is really a tough feat.
Only two guys beat Rafa at RG in the last 15 years and NOVAK is one of them.
I don’t recall your genius doing it inspite having a few chances here and there. But, there is still time...

I'm from Serbia, but I live in other country for years. I really don't care about any nationalism/fascism stupidities. I know here, also, a lot of Serbs. And they or my friends in Serbia are just fine as well. I have that kind of friends, probably because I don't like to spend time with people who are not educated or not smart enough to think anything but ethnic's or any other differences.
So, you really need to learn how to find right people to make them friends. Because... yes, you can't be "wonderful people" on one hand and on other "bordering on fascism".
I like people from Balkans and I worked with people from all over the world.
Because you got to know them then its a bit different.
I get to live with them and that can be to much hehe.
Nah Srdjan is average balkan .
Its a miracle Novak is managing this well
All nations from balkans are f insane in their own way.
If not they wouldnt be in poverty.
They all do great in other countries tho.
I tell you they are all like srdjan, that is why they live in ****.
You must be in a really small minority because I have yet to meet a Serb who is not ultra nationalist. But I am definitely happy to know that not all think this way.

Right now, serbian newspapers & television is unbelievable ridiculous. This particular article is from one of those news portals which causes brain farts to anyone who reads them in Serbia, regularly.
Portals/newspapers/television like this... all of them are pure garbage. Whoever can use his/her brain and lives in Serbia, doesn't read this.
Stories in this garbage are always like "Serbs against everybody" and any other nationalism bulls***.
Srdjan is known as a person who is not particularly smart, and he also caused me a lot of brain farts, so I don't have doubts that he said a majority of this stupidities, but also I think a lot of this stupidities were added by this portal, just to follow classical "chosen one", "Jesus", "Serbs against everybody" and other stupidities.
They are not nationalist but have ultra inferiority complex . And nationalist thing is just result of that.
Always trying to prove themselves and looks ridiculous not to mention prone to lying a lot as well coz of it.
There are very good people on balkans maybe even more then average but they are ****ty nations.
At least for now, and that may change.
Just facts.
Balkans dont get offended by facts as much.
Try to respect our culture.
I do not have your experience to be honest. The ones I know are very generous and friendly people. I was just pointing out one particular aspect that I do not agree with.

I care in the context of tennis of course, same as Nadal does. Outside of tennis (again like Nadal) I sleep just fine
Crusing down international drive at 25mph blasting the new Madonna/Eminem albums
I was talking about nations not individuals in other countries which are mostly very well adjusted people.
If Srdjan was living in germany and Novak playing for germany it would be different story.
Try living as average balkan in serbia croatia bosnia and such .... hehe you would get f sick of it.
But the way europe is changing we may be the best in the end.
In the meantime we need to listen to retards like Srdjan and act as they are right.

Yes, Serbs, as individuals are great, but as groups... so, so. That's reason why we are great in tennis, but awful in football.

The US bombed Serbia in 1999 because of the Balcan War, so I guess some of that animadversion against the West seems logical. But this thing stems from even earlier, at least as far back as WWI.

No, you are definitely a very confused and troubled individual. You should look at my post regarding Djokovic's "infidelity" in its proper context of the post I was replying to where that guy says Federer is a desperate old man and a bad father for not giving up tennis to take care of his family, and if you had paid attention maybe you would have noticed the smiley I put at the end. But not even a simple pictogram that a chimpazee would understand can help you, apparently.
People don't deserve respect inconditionally, that is earned. And Djokovic has disrespected the public in too many occasions to count. Those are the people who ultimately put money on his family's table. You don't disrespect the audience and insult them when you feel they are not giving you your due affection. While Djokovic's value as a tennis player and many of his personality traits are commendable (being a gracious loser is one of them,) there are many others like his arrogant and entitled attitude towards the public which really suck. I figure it is too late for him to learn now, but I can't really fault him after hearing some of the things his dad says. If he was educated in that kind of environment, what can you expect.
Kudos for singling out a whole fan base. Yeah, Fed fans = Horrible and Djokovic fans = Amazing humans. We get it.
BTW, I am primarily a Nadal fan, though I also support Fed and admire his style. Djokovic is too boring for me and I just don't like some of his antics, but I can appreciate what he continues doing, and if he ends up #1 good for him.

Like this is the first time that Djokovic has antagonized the audience and acted like a jerk. But even in this case, there are different ways to handle stuff like that. That is one of the things chair umpires are there for.

This is not correct in the sense that it implies that prize money is ONLY taxed in the country where it is earned. That simply isn't true. Then, add to that the fact that these guys probably make more through endorsements, and you might begin to understand that Djokovic didn't move to Montecarlo because of the weather.Prize money is taxed in the country where it is earned. Most countries don't tax the players another time. I'd actually wager that Federer is stimulated by Switzerland to uphold the residence.

But he was lucky to win Wimbledon from a 38 year old, and Thiem is far from being GOAT material. You are right, there is a difference.

What Novak beat at RG wasn't Nadal, it was something else. Don't compare what Soderling did to Nadal in 2009 to what Djokovic did in 2015.
I don't care about early blooming or late blooming, let's see the final tally.

Yeah true. Nadal 2015 was basically ready for retirement. He was awful everywhere with zero confidence. He even got bagelled and crushed in straights by Tomas Berdych at AO2015.

Are you saying that 2013 Nadal was also something else. Because, has it not been for that net point, Novak would have had at least 2x RG by now...
nadal is always “injured” when he loses.
remind me please, what was the excuse for the 2019 AO final obliteration?
Genious at Work
G.O.A.T.
No, Nadal isn't always injured when he loses. The 2019 AO obliteration? Do you think it is reasonable to expect Djokovic to beat Nadal at his best (and Nadal's worst) slam? What I think is crazy is how Nadal has beaten him twice in USO finals when Djoker is supposed to be better on HC.
As far as 2013, come on. Nadal was closer to winning the 2012 AO than that.

Soderling had to play perfect and redline that day to beat Nadal. Nobody has been able to do that before or after. It is a feat in itself.
Tough break for him. He had a bad case of mono (as opposed to a fake case of mono, no?)

The chair umpires don't do anything most of the time. Yes, sometimes they say "shhhhh" or "Please". I also don't think Djokovic expected that they will shut up. He's just frustrated. Also it's not like it's the first time the audience is interfering with his game.

Is your name supposed to be ironic or are you actually dim-witted? Reading your writing, I have to assume it's the latter, because you've taken the liberty of inventing numerous words and using punctuation in all the wrong places. Maybe you're just doing it ironically like the genious you are.

This is tennis, not lottery. He played against 38 year old guy because that guy won all matches before final, not because of luck.
And, it's unbelievable boring to constantly read that "old guy" argument. There is a reason why Federer still plays: he is probably afraid that Nadal and/or Novak will break his records, so he wants to extend them, and he believe he is still good to win another GS. If he believes that, and he was close a couple of times, who are you to talk about grandpas?
Not to mention, this "old guy" argument have been staying for years. His fans declared him as old when he was younger than Nadal/Novak today. It looks like Federer was old as soon as he left kindergarten.
Just excuse.

Not sure if this was properly explained though. This guy was travelling to Russia for a World Championship in 2018 ( Soccer, Football, whatever you wanna call it ) and they did these shirts as a sort of a joke cause to win you'd need to beat everyone so there ya go ..

It's his money, he earned it and you can envy him but he's still calling the shots on where he lives and pays taxes. Maybe he doesn't trust the government enough to pay taxes and doubts the money will be used for anything good other than pocket filling so he just gives it directly to the community through his foundation ? Just saying, most of us feel let down by our government on so many different levels here, who are you to blame him ( especially if you're not here ).
As for the 2nd part, when he's 38, Nadal will be 39 and Rog will be 44 so I expect him to be extremely happy with anything he wins or achieves as the before mentioned guys would be long since retired so virtually every achievement will be a record braking one. As would have been the Roger's 21st slam - that's the context.
