Injured Djokovic from QF AO 2025 vs Injured Federer from SF of AO 2020

[Oleksandr.Usyk]

Federer was 38 years old while facing Djokovic in that AO semifinal in 2020. Djokovic is 37 years old during AO 2025 while facing super speciman and future ATG Alcaraz whos has incredible 16 years on Djokovic after knee surgery.

Difference? Very clear. If Federer would be in Djokovic's position, Roger would fail badly. This is just another incredible testament to the greatness of a man who left borders of tennis. Novak transcended. Djokovic, Usyk, Ali or Karelin, Jordan and Phelps are legends in their owns super league of unparalleled greatness.

Alcaraz had solid numbers on first serve and and had more winners than UE. But no matter who stands against Djokovic (from any era)... Djokovic is like Goku, healthy or injured... He will adapt, suck your energy and put you into the deep waters. Opponents will feel so drained and will feel so much heat that they will suffocate. Construction of points was second to none. Incredible.

Djokovic is simply much more healthier, fitter, genetically better specimen.

Old fed is not as mobile either even before the injuries..

 

[Third Serve]

Fed’s injury was a lot worse, and it flared up in multiple matches before the semifinal. Not to mention he played the far stronger opponent. Are we seriously comparing these?

 

[inflation_era]

Old Fed had Djokovic beat at W2019. Djokovic didn't win that match, Fed lost it. If you need that explained to you, then you can't be helped.

 

[MeatTornado]

Are you comparing the injury that basically ended Federer's career with Novak's little twinge that went away after a massage?

Roger is dominant only when everything goes his way (and even then he fails sometimes). The real greatness shows when you are down and Roger clearly failed too many times. I can not imagine Federer in boxing, he would retire at 25 like David Price. Perfect examples are Federer 's matches agaisnt Berdych Olympics 2004, Safin SF 2005 - back pain and World Tour Finals against Nalbandian in 2007 - some pain again. This is just not great and too many red flags are around Roger. If Roger can not beat terribly playing Djokovic out of shape in front of his crowd in the final of Wimbledon.... When did he want to beat him?

Fed ate bread, which is poisonous and suppresses true physical and mental excellence, preventing you from maintaining athleticism and explosiveness into your 50s. Or something.

 

[bnjkn]

Yeah, that Federer was done. He shouldn't even have reached that SF.

 

[SonnyT]

Was it Federer's last slam match?

 

[nolefam_2024]

Was it Federer's last slam match?

On hc yes.

 

[metsman]

lol the o/u for games won by 2025 Djokovic against his 2020 self is probably about 5, i.e. the same number that Fed won in about 15 minutes.

Which is true, but of course the answer to that isn't to eat sprouts and shoots and chia berries and tree bark or whatever the hell else that Djokovic eats.

Yeah a terribly playing Djokovic reaches the Wimbledon final, LOLLL. You people are delusional.

 

[Racquet_smash]

That injury ended Federer's career. Not really comparable.

I think you're a complete moron that has no clue what you're talking about.

 

[FlyingSaucer]

If your first thought when Djokovic achieves something is, "Would Federer have been able to do the same?" then I'm not seeing where or how Djokovic has transcended (what, exactly).

 

[RS]

I forget you are called Uysk

You insult instead of counter-arguments. Maybe it is difficult to counterpunch facts.
