Fellow NoleFam, this is a question for you specifically! Assuming Novak only wins ONE grand slam tournament until the end of the year with Nadal also not winning more than one and some young gen player winning the remaining one, then which grand slam would you want it to be? Off course there is always the chance Novak will shatter these expectations and win more than just one possibly even ALL 4 of them, but there is also a slight danger that he may not win ANY of the remaining 3 slams, cuz it's tennis and you never know what can happen, right now this seem highly unlikely, but like i said this is tennis and most unexpected things can happen! All the combinations are above in the poll! You can post priority too, like this - RG -> W -> USO or something like that if you want! This one is personal favourite of mine, because if Novak wins RG over Nadal there is a high chance Nadal doesn't win either gs title between W and USO and the pressure on spanriard to perform well will be colossal with Novak pulling ahead in slam race etc...the momentum will definitely be on his side then and this is defintely what i prefer! Much more than Wimbledon...but that's just me! So go ahead and vote fellow Novak fans! Btw i'm leaving this poll open until after the conclusion of the USO final, because then it won't be actual anymore, but since thread will still be open itself it will be fun to compare, whose expectations met reality!

RG, simply because it blocks Nadal. Fed is already dead from the slam race, now is the time to bury his clay friend.

Hear hear! Also Novak wil remain top contender at the Wimbledon even beyond 2023 anyway as i don't see that one particular consistent grass court specialist, who can become consistent block for Novak even in his late 30's! LOL he is likely to remain top contender until he is 40 or something at the Wimbledon! At other slams - it will become too physically tough though...let's just say i won't lose any sleep if after winning RG Novak doesn't follow it up with Wimbledon victory as well! Besides it will be also a good way to remove all the additional pressure to perform well at the USO at all costs this season and possibly setting up for yet another heartbreaking failure (And in that case it will be two too many imho...)...instead it will be just another grand slam tournament for him and the chance to redeem himself for all the setbacks from previous seasons!...
 
I wouldn't mind if Alcaraz wins rest 2 slams. If Novak retires as the GOAT, Carlito can take over after few years. But let's not allow Nadal anymore
 
US Open, that last remaining stronghold of BamosClowns in this debate

and also because I'm planning to be there
 
Realistically speaking, nothing changes for Novak between 3 USOs and 4. He leapfrogs a few people in the USO greatness list, but not a huge difference. 2 -> 3 at RG makes him pretty much indisputably the 3rd best RG champ ever. Not to mention the TCGS he'd have.

Plus, 2 surfaces for the slam victories in a single year is more impressive than 1.

Couldn’t agree more. Lets lock in 4>3 bestie :love:
 
Well if Djokovic wins RG, stick a fork in Nadal, he isn't winning any more slams this season.

But personally, I want that 8th Wimbledon title, even if it means Nadal wins RG.

Best thing about being Nolefam is once you see him start the year winning AO, you want to know what else he can win. I am sure if you get your wish you want another. Because he is all surfaces player.

I think if the Earth's mightiest warrior does win RG, we are allowed to change our wishlist lol. Benefits of being a Djokovic fan. You can even start wishing calendar slam at that point.

Not really. Fed LOSES completely in goat debate as he is not greater when compared to Djokovic. 1 RG should not be enough.

That's also my point! Wins 3 of the 4 majors 5 times or more, but has won only one FO barely winning over Haas by hair and totally avoiding playing Nadal...if not for Haas and Soderling's collective help Federer wouldn't even have Career Grand Slam now! Meanwhile Novak proved himself more than once at French major enough not to doubt legitimacy of his wins there...

Well, yes. That is why he is Earth's Mightiest Warrior.
 
I would like him to be tied for the Wimbledon title record first - he deserves it as the best grass court player of the last decade especially after the 2020 version was cancelled. Second would be another USO title where he has been good enough to make a lot of finals, but has lost too many of them for someone who is so good on hard courts - he would then have a chance in the future to tie for the all-time USO title record also with one more win. I think a third clay Slam would add to his clay record, but it doesn’t do much in the greater scheme of things with Nadal and Borg being way ahead at the FO irrespective of whatever he does in Paris.
 
RG23! The first opportunity to be the sole slam leader for first time and also blocks Nadal. It would also give him a unique treble career slam which be unbelievable. Novak would rule on high and likely have the slam record for several years at the very least. That would be fantastic! :love:

Rule on high in the tennis landscape and ATP! I wish for it!

RG 23, it keeps the hope of a CYGS alive. Gives Novak TCGS and #23 slam. Also it’s just the next slam which happens, so want some good news soon rather than late in the year lol.

PS: Winning RG blocks Nadal and sends the Spaniard closer to retirement pretty much. More like a W’19 to Federer. Post that match in slams Federer was a no one really.
 
Strange that so many Novak fans prefer the USO over Wimbledon. Another Wimbledon title to tie Fed’s record would do way more for his legacy than a 4th USO title imho.

Some are probably looking for Novak to tie Rafa at the USO so they won't have that to laud over them! The diehard fan will continue to think Federer the "Grass God" even if Djokovic passes him by! To them tennis begins and ends with Fedal no matter what Novak does! It's ridiculous, but what can we do? :unsure: ;):laughing::-D:happydevil:

I'm one who thinks the FO does more for Novak so he'll have a triple CGS! The USO helps, but he's already done better than most; even Borg who has no titles! ;):laughing::-D

I think winning a 4th USO would do more to round out the relative weaknesses in Novak's resume than another RG

Leave this thread please, you aren't welcome here if you are here do nothing, but troll...there are plenty of Bull related threads on TTW, where trolls like you gather around and talk crap about opposing fanbases, go there please, no need for flame wars here...

Well perhaps you should ask your fellow Djokovic fans to do the same in other threads then. This forum is nothing but endless Djokovic sycophancy threads of late and trolling to diminish Rafa. Here’s one example just in the last hour. So maybe the trolls talking crap as you put it live in your fan base.

Does it ever drive you crazy?

Just how fast the night changes?

Cope. You came into a Djokovic thread, quoted a post that didn't mention Nadal at all and brought him up, then pretended you don't think about Djokovic. It's ok, I know there's not too much else for you to think about given your favorites are both out of MC.

Manifest it lol, I’ve been thinking about him all day, just to give your day some meaning :D Im obsessed. What’s for dinner tonight?? NOVAK! lmao
