Yup. He will sometimes alternate the number one, but he will be the number one for the most part the next 4 years.
Heard that 2 million times here in 2016.
If Nole can do that then I have to think he ends up ahead of Fed everywhere except Wimbledon, the USO, Cincy, and Madrid. He would only need two more WTFs, one more AO, and one more FO.
Can't wait for those to happen.
If he gets it before the end of this season, I imagine he could stay there until late 2019.
Turns out sucking for the first half of 2018 wasn't totally bad.
Lol.. he's not going to keep winning. Father time and the young guys are coming for him
Young guys? If Nadal and Nole weren’t around there’s a good chance 37 year old Fed would be number 1
2 years is not too long. If Fed could win a slam at 36, Djokovic can stay at number 1 till 34.
Completely different playing styles and different people altogether. You can't say "if person X did this, person Y can do the same". Look at all the people who were NOT able to keep on going at that age.
Yes but Federer is literally the best tennis player that has ever lived. You can't pretend that whatever he does, other players are able to do as well. And these young guys are getting better and better and the old guys are getting worse and worse. There'll be a time when a shift arises and because there are so many young guys right now, it'll be difficult for the old guard to keep winning slams after that shift has happened.
Then you can't say he can't either.
You are too modest dear.
Playing styles doesnt seem to matter. Being tall, being short, big servers, big defenders. They all play good for a longer time than before.
More like they wish Djokodal would stop.
Its called wishful thinking.
I’m sure there will be a shift. But so far Nadal and Nole have similar aged-adjusted results compared to Federer. I think Nole and Nadal will actually win more in their 30+ years than Fed did at the same stage.
Its not only Feds week number 1 in danger, but his slam count as well. Rafa is closer than Novak, but both of them got a chance for the slam record. As long as Rafa and Novak can return as well as they do now, they can beat the big servers that seem so be the guards for every slam these days.
This is objectively false.
That's what I've been saying all along. Just because one player can accomplished something special at an advanced age doesn't mean anyone will and can do the same. It's like saying any player can win slams at mid-30's since Rosewall did it in the early 70s. Yet, there's only two players in the open era have won slams in at an advanced age.
Gonna be tough for Zvendl if he keeps drawing Haase
His consistency towards his two main rivals in his career proves something else.
So he likes to draw Robin Hood in his spare time or what? Seems like a strange thing to do.
It's never too dry
Admittedly, maybe he could make some adjustments. Potential 2019 calendar would look like this.
Best player of 2017 as is
C'mon man, he's 32 years old
Quite the opposite.
