I guess that settles the "Djokovic is the most intelligent of the Big 3" argument

Well, Novak is at least a party animal and people enjoy time with him.

не стоит так переживать по этому поводу, потому как надаль (очень вероятно) в любом случае оказывается в проигрышном положении в этом споре, выбросить ли знание языков или же оставить,;)
Каким образом он оказывается в проигрышном положении? Надаль по крайней мере не является религиозным фанатом, по моему это уже огромный плюс.

Novak can't speak french. Don't use French as an argument because he speaks like someone who started French class a few months ago. I am not exaggerating anything.
 
Genious not at work for two weeks, no?
I have been busy getting sponsors for my Senior Olympiads that will take place in Srebenija in 2 weeks. No participant under 60 without emphysema will be allowed, and nobody will be allowed to use masks of any type. I already got Djokovic Pizzeria on board. Any more takers?

Or should I say undertakers?

All the benefits will go to fund programs to help Restless Middle Leg Syndrome victims of the Sureshs videos.

The judges said that this potato narrowly edged Djokovic because potato didn't start a tournament and got dozens of people sick with Covid.
 
I'm not saying Novak is the most intelligent out of the top3 but there are highly intelligent people who are bat **** crazy and believe into "alternative facts " as it is possible to construct an alternative world model that is conclusive in itself with just a few basic assumptions.


Of course he also could just be an idiot but he also wouldn't be the first crazy intelligent conspiracy theorist who has built his own world model
Precisely the main measure of intelligence is to not do bat sheet crazy stuff like get people sick and risk lives for no good raisin.

What good does it do you to be able to calculate the cubic root of pi while you are falling to your death after taking a selfie too close to the Grand Canyon edge to post it to your followers in Twitter?

I like Novak but did anyone ever think he was smarter than Roger or Nadal? Like I guess with Nadal you might argue but I never saw it. Ya know with the whole Pepe thing.

As above, Djokovic is intelligent without being an intellectual. He seems attracted to alternatives that possess internal coherence but little scientific vailidity.

It's very hard to judge how smart Nadal is, there is a general feeling that he isn't as smart as the other 2 guys because he didn't take the time to master several languages or is seen as having less variety in his game, just a clay courter, a caveman with a club beating his opponents into submission. But I don't know, maybe people are underestimating him...

Everyone is in a rush. I rather not take a vaccine until it has been around for a few years. I’m young and am in a very low risk group. The vaccine may present more danger to me than the virus itself.

You will have to make your own decision.

The CDC currently estimates that 35% of infected cases will be asymptomstic. That number may go higher as more data is collected.

Do not see any compelling reason for a young person in the low risk group to be rushing into a vaccine, particularly when the rate of asymptomatic infection is so high and the effectiveness of the vaccine for this new virus is unknown.

You don't know what sort of vaccine may be on offer, but the problem is that dunderheads don't believe in the efficacy of vaccination.

Nadal seems a smart businessman, but he is in partnership with so many others that you'd really have to look at the books to know how smart.

He’s kept his mouth shut and quietly minded his own business for the last couple of months.

HE’S A GENIUS.

Vaccinations are never directly compulsory, but if you want to do stuff you might not be allowed without it.

Exactly this. Vaccines do carry risks. Since Coronavirus Vaccine is new, we won’t know what those risks are short term or long term. I’m sure the scientists are working hard to model the coronavirus vaccine after existing vaccines that have been safe, but there is no way to know given the expedited approval process. Everyone is in a rush. I rather not take a vaccine until it has been around for a few years. I’m young and am in a very low risk group. The vaccine may present more danger to me than the virus itself.

Currently, there has been a spike in new cases in the U.S. but deaths have been declining for weeks. The average deaths this week attributed to coronavirus (which may be an inflated number anyway due to suspected death. Testing positive doesn’t mean a person didn’t die of pneumonia or diabetic complications) are the lowest since late March. The number was 285 on Sunday and 512 on Saturday. Testing is widely available and many young people are being encouraged to get tested for work despite having a infinitesimal chance of dying from coronavirus. Djokovic may be correct that the virus has abated and most of the people who would suffer the greatest risks of complications already died or recovered.

You don't know what sort of vaccine may be on offer, but the problem is that dunderheads don't believe in the efficacy of vaccination.

The problem is that you are labeling 40% of Americans as dunderheads for not having the Blind Faith that you do of vaccine efficacy. A totally new virus no less. A virus with a 35% asymptomatic rate no less.
We prefer to first see evidence that the vaccine is safe and effective.
In that case, we may be be right behind you and Bill Gates in the vaccination queue.

They don't believe in the principles of vaccination, so they are not awaiting evidence. Their mind is made up already.

You thought that the country of Yugoslavia stil existed so, yes, people can be dunderheads.

Bill Gates, by the way, didn't invent vaccination so why keep whining about him?

Only 20% polled rejected vaccination outright. Another 20% were not sure and waiting for evidence. Had they been opposed to vaccination based on principle, they would have responded as such. We suggest that you learn to examine the polling data instead of trying to be a psychic mind-reader.

Nadal and Fed are smart enough not to do incredibly stupid things (or are smart enough to hire people to advise them not to do incredibly stupid things), either of which makes them smarter than Joker.

I don't think there is any argument that Djokovic isn't far and away the most intelligent of the big three. Roger's mother has even admitted she worried about his lack of intelligence as a teenager, Nadal still hasn't learned fluent English after 18 years on tour. Because Djokovic is gullible, immature, self-entitled and clueless about many things, intellectually he's an Einstein compared to either Roger or Rafa. His command of multiple languages learned when he was an adult speaks volumes about this, as does his general knowledge demonstrated in interviews.

Jelena is also quite intelligent, I saw an interview with her in English and there was hemming and hawing, no "uh's," or "um's," and that's not her native language, obviously.
