Is Federer in god mode the only guy that can stop Djokovic?

We've seen guys like Nadal, Monfils, and Murray get slaughtered like cattle and Djokovic seems to be toying with anyone else. Is Federer in god mode the only guy that can that can stop Djokovic from having the greatest season in tennis history? Just how great was Fed's performance vs. Djoker at the French?

Pretty much.

Raffito's only weapon (heavy crosscourt forehand) plays right into Novak's hands.

Murray plays similar to Novak but Nole does everything better than Murray

Fed is able to stop Novak's flow of play using different directions, paces, and spins. If you don't believe me, check out the highlights to their FO match. :)

Murray and Nadal have put in some solid efforts against Djokovic. Nadal in Miami and Murray in Rome.

But so far, yes. Federer is only the one who has shown that he can beat Djokovic.

From top players only Federer is capable of beating him right now. I will not say any other player can´t do it, but most likely if any other guy will beat him it will be, because Nole´s level dropped. Guys like Tsonga, Roddick have great serves, but besides that from baseline they can´t compete even at their best with Nole and Nole has best return - so their biggest weapon is already neutralized... guys like Delpo, Soderling who can blow you from the court with their power-game and huge FH are not quick enough and their movements, deffense is few levels lower than Nole´s... so no way they beat him. Murry-Nadal are close maybe, but becasue of Nole´s confidence now and his ,no weakness, game they can´t beat him unless his level dropped. Nadal has no weapons against him and Murray has similar gamestyle, but his FH is worse, now also movement, deffense and confidence by far worse. So only guy who has shot is Roger - if he will play great match with good serve, great movement, shot selection, angles, spins, changing rhytmus and pace he is the one who can win.

Well considering they will be playing on hardcourts and djoker leads 3-0 h2h with NINE sets to ONE this year fed has no chance.

Nadal's best will beat Djokovic. It's more of a mental thing.

That and the fact he hasn't been executing in general. Kinda funny how easily Nadal took those first sets in IW and Miami then just fell off play wise. It's crazy how quickly people forget. Now all of a sudden Djokovic is unbeatable? Come on people.

And Nadal was closer than people think at Wimbledon, he breadsticked Djokovic in the 3rd set, and then the 4th set was break for break, could have gone to a 5th set easily. I know Djokovic is playing well, but Nadal would be favorite in a 5th set, given what we've seen him do in his career.

In another words noone can stop Fed when hes on God mode, not even the world number 1

Federer can only beat Djokovic now if Djokovic plays a poor match like at the French Open. Federer can no longer win a match vs Djokovic, Djokovic has to lose it. The guys with the most chance of beating Djokovic are Nadal, Tsonga, and Murray. Still the way Djokovic is playing he is favored over all for now.

So you think Djokovic was playing well in that match. Seriously. At best he played average for his current standards, definitely worse than the majority of matches he has played this year. Djokovic definitely played much better in losing in the U.S Open final to Nadal where some ****s claim Djokovic was tired and sluggish, than he did in his French Open semifinal with Federer this year.

And Djokovic sucks no matter what form he is in, because he won 43 matches in a row and then sucked. That's a great sign :lol: his best form isn't good enough to win anything :lol:

How does it feel to have your own stupid logic turned against you?

Djokovic wins against Federer = Federer playing poorly

so

Federer wins against Djokovic = Djokovic playing poorly

lol, what the hell .... djoker played by some distance better in the french open semi 2011 than he did in USO 2010 F.

He had a negative W/UE ratio in the USO 2010 final, but a + one in the FO match vs fed. He played as well he could with federer playing that well - with the exception of a slight dip in the start of the 2nd set ......

lol @ mentioning murray over fed. Murray couldn't even take advantage of novak playing way below average tennis at rome .....

Federer playing in his God Mode (USO 2004 final), would probably bagel and breadstick the Djoker...

But as he is right now, his current version of god mode (he shouldn't have gotten that virus-containing upbrade :p) is about even with Djokovic, and it's the only way he'll lose

I wish I could agree, but Novak is playing very very very very well right now. He gets EVERY ball back with interest and basically doesn't miss.

I think the real question is....
"Can anyone beat Fed when he is in God Mode"? Nobody else has, let alone Djoker. Nadal has never beaten Fed in God Mode, because he hardly ever lets Fed get into God Mode.

That being said, Federer in that god mode was facing Hewitt, who also could get most balls back, with interest. And had the best lob in history...

iz it pozzible to reach god mode if you are not a pro?
also what is invisible mode?
Sure it is, it happens to me every week, the only problem is that I turn invisible so I really cant prove it to you. Just work on your game and you can become a god as well, its cool being a god.

Please edit, or remove the bold part. You have just lost all credibility. Please - for your sake, for pity.

One of the stupidest comments I've ever seen, perhaps, ever, I've been here since 2008 - I'm constantly exposed to stupidity, I should get used to it, even now it shocks me at how some people here have no knowledge of tennis.

Federer can stop anyone period.. the problem is.. he is his own enemy.. partly because of his age.. and partly because he doesn't train as much he trained in '05, '06 etc..

it looks to me like he's trading achievement for longevity and that could be due to the fact that his contracts with Nike/Others.. is 10s of millions of $$$ as long as he plays..

obviously, if he could win few GS even better.. otherwise, its all business for him from now onwards..

All Federer fans,
5 years ago

LOL. The difference being that Federer has never led the head-to-head with Nadal, whereas Nadal always has with Djokovic, once at 14-4 and 16-7, currently at 16-12.

Rodge beat Djoker at FO not in God mode, only his serve was his old mode. Rodge's game is pretty much dependent on his first serve. As an example, Nadal can have low first serve % and still win, same for players like Davydenko.
He can beat djoker again if his serve is on

Haha@ ********* saying Djoker was in poor form at FO. He played Nadal 5 times and in none of them he had poor form, but he plays 3 times with Rodge and he has poor form. Only goons say something like that.
