Novak Fans - What realistic achievement/record would you most like to see him achieve?

For Federer and Nadal fans, I think they just want to see their player win one more Grand Slam.

For Novak fans, I wonder, what realistic achievement/record would you most like to see him achieve?

1 AO - to get to 7 and equal Fed at most # in a major
1 FO - double career slam
1 OG - to be on par with other members of big 4
1 YE#1 - to be on par with Fed
1 WTF - to be on par with Fed
1 Cinci - to have exclusive masters record

I just hope he has a fulfilling experience and becomes a better human under Pepe Imaz.

Hey, Imaz believes in telepathic powers, all right? If Djokovic masters those he's winning as many Calendar Slams as he wants until he retires out of boredom.

As a Novak fan, I want him to float in the air while serving. CYGS 2017-2020 :)

Too risky. He might float too far into the court and technically foot fault. He's much better off using his powers to make his opponents DF every game away.

He could use his powers to confuse the umpire and all line officials. He could improve his overheads too that way. While floating in the air his overheads would become under heads.

More GS Final losses than wins and Murray beating him in all of those finals.

EDIT: Actually no, revenge for Federer at Wimbledon would be brilliant.

Unless you're afraid of Djokovic doing a Serena in his thirties I can't understand why you hope Murray beats him in every slam final. And why not some other player cos I know for certain you ain't a fan of Murray or his game!

Edit: I just realised why it's Murray you hope beats him. You Fed fans :D

Murray is a more talented player than Djokovic and deserves to win as many slams as Djokovic. Brother @KINGROGER wants to see Murray and Djokovic rated on par.

One more year end top 10 finish.

I hope he loses every major. He can win as many mickey mouse masters as he wants.
Predictable as usual from the Maestro Brigade. :D

To preserve 17, 302, YE#1 (both Fed superiority and Sampras outright record) WTF, HC GOAT records.

Also I feel harsh on Murray that he has such a bad record vs Djokovic in slam finals, especially the pathetic AO/RG walkovers. I'd like to see him turn it around, with this year's WTF being some sort of turning point.

@KINGROGER: Lol, it doesn't matter if Djokovic never wins another match in his career since Rod Laver will always be considered the greatest tennis player ever. Sorry to tell you that mate. ;)

Laver played in an era with reduced small fields, and also split fields among amateur and professional.

Federer is the GOAT. Djokovic has quite a way to go to surpass him and should've done it already (should won every slam between Wimbledon 2014 - RG 2016).

Interesting that you think Djokovic is above Federer if he gets to 16. Not sure I agree with that but I guess with the NCYGS there'd be a decent argument for it. :)

If he had done so in that manner (CYGS with 2 either side) I would proclaim him as GOAT but Fed still playing style GOAT but Djokovic superior player ;)

But with the "NCYGS" his best period of dominance is still only 5/6 or 6/8 slams where as Fed's best period was 6/7 so I don't rate it as highly as a CYGS.

Two more Majors I guess, maybe one RG and one on the hard court. As for wishlists, I would take another Wimbledon over some other two Slams. I find that tournament just so special.

If Nole manages to win AO then I still fully believe he'll overtake Federer in slams and get to 18. Remember he's still only 29. He could have another 4/5 years of winning slams if he stays healthy and motivated :):):)

One more RG and another slam of his choice + Cincinnati.
OG would be great, but it's probably too distant.

No he couldn't. If he regains health and motivation fully, he might have a year left, plus maybe another at 50% capacity. But the 30 y.o. cliff hits every player who has to work that hard to get there, and Djokovic had to work harder than most. Even Fed the GOAT has been at about half capacity for half a decade plus, now. Props to him he's still one of the best, but nowhere near what he was.
