Panatta: "Sinner will retire Djokovic"

[Martin J]

@BorgTheGOAT @Martin J - See what Panatta is saying regarding Borg

I and @nachiket nolefam, we were right all along, Borg ran away because of McEnroe, he just did not want to face a younger ATG, surely the tennis federation also had its role in not allowing him to pick his schedule but by and large his refusal to play by the rules (even Connors who was 4 years older had no issue playing a full tour) was because of Mcenroe.

Well I already told you (several times probably) what I think about this topic (not gonna discuss it again though), it's a myth and I won't change my opinion on it, no matter what Panatta (who is entitled to his view, of course) thinks of it.

 

[Jaitock1991]

Djokovic will retire Djokovic.

 

[socallefty]

Djokovic will retire Djokovic.

Will the father retire the son or vice versa?

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

“In my opinion, if Sinner beat him two or three more times in 2024 it would become Djokovic's nightmare, leading him to retirement. History teaches and often repeats itself: Borg left with the arrival of McEnroe and then McEnroe retired when Becker arrived.”

Panatta: 'Sinner llevará a Djokovic al retiro'

Djokovic beat him in straight sets where he was supposed to, absolutely crushing the Italian in Wimbledon SF & Tour Finals F.
The 2 losses otoh were tight AF & Djokovic lost those matches despite having higher DR, that's not gonna happen everytime.

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

no problem at all if that happens at all lol, first of all its a destiny of every player in any sports, no matter how great you are to be eliminated by a young gun and second it will happen sooner or later, next year or a year after next year, not a surprise, so djoko fans and djoko haters should be ready already

Even if youngsters stop him from winning any slams, Djokovic would not retire as long as he's making slam finals & semis, it just doesn't make sense. Currently, in BO5, the only youngster that has proven himself to be able to cross the finishing line against Djokovic is Alcaraz; and he can't reach the Serb before F. I see no reason why Djokovic would retire before his legs are actually gone like Roger's were after 2019. He is a competitive beast and would try everything until the last drop of energy left in his body.

it makes sense if you no longer feel that you can win a slam, there is no point in playing, plus the country needs a liberator from the cunning insidious tentacles of the dictator

 

[Jaitock1991]

Either way I'm fine

 

[Airspun]

Vice versa no?

 

[KantenKlaar]

Maybe, maybe not

 

[KantenKlaar]

Vamos

 

[ChaelAZ]

Djo has pretty much had a cakewalk so far so might be a bit more fresh compared to Sinner, but Sinner's movement and ball striking is much improved this season's onset, and he has some momentum from the end of the year winning over him. I am ready for Sinner to take this one too.

 

[paolo2143]

If Novak does beat Sinner , and that is definitely not guaranteed, he should invite Panatta over to support him in the final, even tell him he can sit in his supporters box just to wind him up.

The day of prophecy has arrived and the king of the satanic throne will be abdicated from his place by the good sinner.

 

[RG GOD]

Well, Panatta was right

 

[rigged]

1st to defeat Djokovic after being 3MP down, 1st to defeat him in AO SF. Only if he can find serve and more mental toughness.

 

[Phoenix*]

Well, Panatta was right

Too late for Fedal.

 

[Hitman]

Well, Panatta was right

Has Djokovic retired?

 

[DSH]

The day of prophecy has arrived and the king of the satanic throne will be abdicated from his place by the good sinner.

I told them but the Djoko - bots didn't want to hear the inevitable.

 

[longtimelurker]

Panatta is an underachiever who has a lot of hate for Novak. Sinner is classy and I will certainly follow him when the goat retires in 1-2 years time. Novak has integrity and will leave the game on his own terms. Hope sinner plays well in the final!

 

[Omega_7000]

He is 36! Should have been pushed to retirement long time back esp given his physical style of play. Not really as prophetic as you think it is.

 

[Hitman]

I told them but the Djoko - bots didn't want to hear the inevitable.

Does Djokovic still have more slams than your idol even after this loss?

 

[bnjkn]

Lol at people saying Sinner will win.

 

[DSH]

Does Djokovic still have more slams than your idol even after this loss?

It doesn't matter anymore.
The king is dead, long live the king!

 

[Hitman]

You have accepted the slam race result then, and now want to move on. I am glad for you.

Obviously, it ended in 2023 with Nadal's injury and Alcaraz's cramps at Roland Garros.

They are all legends mate, and there is no GOAT. Nothing will ever bring their legacies down.

 

[tennisandtennis]

Sinner is going to win a lot of tournaments during his prime. His ability to gain initiative from the baseline is very similar to Federer. If his serve improves even a hair from where it is, he’s going to have a lot of runs like he has during this AO.

 

[DSH]

Panatta lo aveva previsto ma lo ignorarono.
Il buon peccatore metterà fine alla carriera del più grande peccatore della storia del tennis.

 

[dking68]

That's my worry too. I don't want to see that happen. Sinner hits ball harder than Nole and doesn't have much weaknesses. He doesn't have a strength that's far better than Nole but it's just his age.

True

 

[Azure]

True

You must be very happy

 

[dking68]

You must be very happy

I am but let’s see him seal it on Sunday. Then I’ll let it all out on TTW

 

[nolefam_2024]

True

Sinner is worthy adversary and a future successor to Nole. We thought it would be Rune. But Sinner it is.
You guys deserve all the praise for keeping the hype going on Sinner. Now next time we will be on different ends..

Haha man I told you. Rune never had the fire power to dominate on hard court. He’ll be lucky to win a grand slam title tbh.

I can’t wait for your posts if sinner wins. You have waited for this day patiently and deserve it.

You are a prophet. You know your tennis man. Congrats!

 

[dking68]

@nolefam_2024 Sinner is always aiming to improve, just like Nole. Holger never really improved in 2023. His level is the same like the end of 2022. Let’s see what Boris can do but his power is too weak to be a GS champion. Even Stan had way more power. Sinner is honest with himself, I’m not so sure about Rune - Sinner fired Piatti after being destroyed by Tsitsipas in AO QF in 2022 and said he wanted more.

Oh man, I used to think Nole is the perfect Student of the game always trying to improve.

Right now Sinner is giving similar vibe. But its not like Rune is not trying to improve. With Becker, he has started to attack the net already.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

He might be right but thankfully it didn’t happen last year

I think Sinner can end the year number 1 if he wins on Sunday? What you think? I even will extend the title count to 9 titles this season if he wins on Sunday

 

[nolefam_2024]

YES
Now is Sinner's time. But he has to win on Sunday.

 

[Sudacafan]

I just realized that Panatta and Sinner share the same citizenship.
Sinner should change his last name to Sinnerelli, or Sinneroni, or Sinneroli.

Man I respect your belief in Sinner. Forza Jan!

 

[Better_Call_Raul]

Djokovic seems unbeatable at the moment, but Jannik will have him excommunicated for the great sins committed by him in his career.

What the hell kind of name is Sinner? Never met anyone with that name. Let alone an Italian.

Thank you for your usual quality research, Dr. RSJ.

Sinner is from Italy’s German-speaking region. That was once Austria (a German-speaking country).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jannik_Sinner

Andreas Seppi is from the same region.

 

[Bartelby]

Sinner is also a tax exile in Monte Carlo like Novak.
