If Djokovic wins AO 2022, will this be his GREATEST slam victory?

[TennisFan3]

Technically speaking all this controversy will have ZERO effect on Novak on court. Most of the top athletes are very good at removing distractions and focussing on their matches.
Given his tempramental history, stuff like this would even make him more determined.

So will this be Novak GREATEST slam victory - given all the odds and the issues he has had this AO?

Unless it's a Zverev-Medvedev combo of UsOpen 2021 - who can take 3 sets off Novak on Rod Laver Arena.

Djokovic made life very complicated for himself. He's the creator of his own misery.

I think Djokovic is a heavy favorite even if he faces Zverev and Medvedev , back to back. Unless he is bombarded with trouble makers like Hurcakz, Humbert and so on.

Idt so, because the extra stuff was brought on by him and Australian govt. It doesn't have to do with the actual match, momentum, draw difficulty, etc. The circumstances do matter, and I might change my mind if he gets booed nonstop every round, but pressure of #21 is a bigger deal imo.

It's not misery if he goes on to win AO. It won't affect him on the tennis court.

True. Historically almost been impossible to beat Novak on RLA.
Remember in 2012: He beat Murray and Nadal in 5 sets Epics back to back - almost 11 hours!

The pressure was for CYGS. 21 slams is not a big deal.

It will still lag behind whatever happened in 2017.

Nonsense! This is all time baby.

Good to see the Poll. Most people thinks he wins the AO.

It'll certainly be the end sequence of the movie, if he pulls it off.

Why the end sequence?

 

[Jonesy]

This is only the first part of the movie about the CYGS.

Incredible scenes.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

It would help if I read the title. His biggest of all time. hmmmmmm

 

[Midaso240]

If he's granted permission to stay and is fully fit mentally/physically of course he is the big favourite, but I don't think he will be so the winner of the title will be Medvedev

 

[Bartelby]

The Australian Government is adamantly opposed to vaccine mandates. They allowed the AO their exemption process. And then they backflipped. The court found the government the creator of his misery.

Djokovic made life very complicated for himself. He's the creator of his own misery.

Why the end sequence?

You can see the movie version!

Sometimes I wonder if he thrives off drama.
