With 5 more Slams, Djokovic finally enters the tennis legend debate.
Will become legend
Even outside Serbia?
Jokes aside If Djokovic is not a legend of this sport i honestly wonder who is...I mean his rivals only have few slams more than him and that's it...Djokovic dominates almost everything else...
Objectively he doesn't have the aura and enough followers on social media. He needs more Slams imo.
Needs more slams to make up for the lack of aura, mystique and charisma.
Nah. Fedr has more 40-15s and 23 more lost matches after having at least one MP!
Fedr earned more from Nike.
only if WO
Look how he walks with elegance! Such an aristocrat! As he walk passes the audience in the background they all rise. They have all risen!
That walk must've felt so good.
Almost as good as the grass.That walk must've felt so good.
Nah. Your conceding is irrelevant if he needs the Slam record.
Who can stop them?How many more slams for the bane of tour's existence? 58 slams so far... With Federer being 40 years old and Nadal and Djokovic soon to be 35/34, I don't think that more than 10 is in the realm of possibility. But seeing how many TTWers believe "next gens" (of all ages) will stay below 5, that would mean that big 3 or at least Nadal and Djokovic will rack many more.
Not so fast. How many LC's does he have?
I hope that Novak wins many more titles but it's not going to be that easy. Tour actually has good depth and young guys are getting better slowly. Also, tricky players like Agut and Karatsev may show up out of nowhere. We'll see.
Agreed. Agut will always be a bad match up for Novak, but Karatsev for now didn't prove his style can trouble Djoker.

I hope that Novak finally got rid off his Agut bug in that *Cincy match last year, after releasing the kraken in the 3rd set tiebreak. Agut can somehow get him to play zillion exhausting neutral rallies and bring him down to his level but when Novak ups the aggression, he's winning smoothly. Wawrinka/Karatsev-like big hitting can also upset him, if he's too defensive. Serve and being aggressive and proactive is the key for him going forward, imho.
Agut can still trouble Novak, but the chance is small. Will have to see how Karatsev develops to compare him to Wawrinka.
Karatsev is pretty much developed player at 27. It's all up to physical conditioning and form for him.
Not so sure but he'll be closer
You picked the wrong guy to be serious with
In all seriousness, I can hardly imagine Nadal staying at 20.
"True legend" you mean biased opinion from certain fan bases? Aside from Federer and Nadal who are in the same league as Novak there is not a single tennis player in history who can say that he is on the same level or greater than Novak...Srry but these are the facts and Novak is a living legend who will most likely at the end be kne above all...
You are right, at this point it isn't a case of opinion anymore. With what Djokovic achieved he deserves to be at least in the same hall of those legends.
Of course
ROFLMAOing at Fed, no doubt (ROFLMAO).
In all seriousness, I can hardly imagine Nadal staying at 20.
