I feel novak has a slam in him. After watching this.
the best of 3 format gives him a luxury to maintain high level of tennis without dropping his level, that's much much harder to do in slams. this run was spectacular but it's a tougher and different challenge to win 7 matches in best of five, he has a chance but it's going to be extremely hardI feel novak has a slam in him. After watching this.
His movement is still elite and he can win more than one of his draw opens up or is kinda easy.
Who cares about Montreal at this point@NeutralFan Sinner to do maximum destruction in Montreal?

Already happenedWhen is the ceremony?
Depends on motivation, fitness and draw. He certainly will have more chances. Us open is going to be wide open this year.I feel novak has a slam in him. After watching this.
Djokovic played like it was his last chance. Alcaraz played like he still has many more chances.I think you would say Djokovic wanted it in a way that Alcaraz as a 21 year old simply couldn't match.
Yes.Djokovic played like it was his last chance. Alcaraz played like he still has many more chances.
I checked Google translate.Same language as Serbian...
Carlos Lopes won the Marathon at 37.Anyone know who’s the oldest gold medalist in any sport ? I am talking individualistic
Congratulations to @Djokovic_is_the_best#1 @Cortana @GabeT
He’s quite simply the best with an amazing resume. I’d add the champagne emoji if I could on here lol
History did not repeat, itself.Djokovic has already played for gold, and failed.
History always repeats itself.
Alcaraz gold.
His best surface and he’s fresh. He has to like his chances.@Djokovic_is_the_best#1 Sinner to dominate this half of the season on hardcourt?
I have a feeling he wins USO. Just hope he doesn’t peak too early. He should just try to win Montreal and then head to USOHis best surface and he’s fresh. He has to like his chances.
LMAOTo go without a single break is disappointing, even old arss crippled Nadal broke him twice. You can't defend JCF anymore.
He does not need to retire IF he's still physically able to compete, supported by psychological strength (unlike another player of his generation who recently left the stage). Djokovic constantly proves he can defeat the alleged best of any of the generations he's faced, including the current group.now Nole can retire
Sinner will beat him on hardcourtTo go without a single break is disappointing, even old arss crippled Nadal broke him twice. You can't defend JCF anymore.
cringe that a) you're saying this at all b) that you are holding someone 16 years younger to the same standard of accrued experience...and of course, congratulations to Djokovic for winning Olympic Gold in singles, effectively defeating Alcaraz with his wealth of tennis knowledge & talent not shared by his opponent.
Correction on 2: I think you mean the Super Slam. Nadal has the Golden Slam too.In winning 2024 Paris, Djokovic becomes:
1. The only player in history to win every single big title on the tour.
2. The 2nd male player after Agassi to win the CGGS (Career Golden Grand Slam).
3. The only current player (now that Murray has retired) to win all categories of big titles (Slams, WTF, OSG, Masters 1000).
4. The only member of the former Big 3 to win all categories of big titles.
"...molded in fire"Yea Alcaraz is great but Djokovic is molded in fire after battling two titans of tennis for 15+ years. There's nothing these guys can do that he hasn't already seen.
Yea he really did. That last tiebreak was just incredible. Those forehands....![]()

Is there any definition for all GS + ATP Finals + OG + all M1000?Correction on 2: I think you mean the Super Slam. Nadal has the Golden Slam too.
"The full Novak"Is there any definition for all GS + ATP Finals + OG + all M1000?
Nope. I'm already partial to the Clean Sweep (if it happens in a year), so I'm going to be calling it a Career Sweep. Much easier than what I think they'll do (Career Super Golden Slam - AKA Super Slam + Golden Masters).Is there any definition for all GS + ATP Finals + OG + all M1000?
Respect your consistency. Some people would have changed there mind because Djok won.For me, nothing changes in the grand scheme. Lolympics remain lolympics. Tennis' most golden child became slightly more golden today.
However, especially as someone who has been a fan for 18 years now, I do owe Mr Stunning an apology for continuously brushing aside his personal goal. When you think about it, he's been carrying this burden of his for sixteen years, ever since that most infamous Djokosmash in Beijing. That's some really heavy stuff that nobody can relate to.
And after all the disappointments and not one but two of these previous events looking like they were his last opportunity, to come here at 37 years of age, on his worst surface, with no titles this season, at the court that also looked unconquerable for him in the distant past, against a new legend of the game in crazy form and young enough to be his child... To win with no sets dropped as well, I say that tennis has never and will never have a more deserving gold medalist than him.
Squirmovic brigade... Bros, same as always. He might be 37, but it's still not too late to stop doubting him. You have jumped on the most stunning tennis ride of all time, perhaps you should start behaving accordingly at last.
All the scum haters and lolympics propaganda imbeciles... There are a few scheduled bumps and visits for them no doubt.

Finally, from all the way up north in Norway, I raise a can of beer for Djokovic and his countrymen. They are lucky to have such a jewel. Sport's shiniest one...
As someone who has never been able to warm up Djokovic, either his personality or his style of tennis, I have to say ...Is there any definition for all GS + ATP Finals + OG + all M1000?
9 more repliesHigh quality tennis. Guess it was still time spent well despite the fact that I unfortunately got the poll overall right.
If I go back to the 9th game of the 1st set, it was the crucial moment of the entire match. If Carlos had converted one of the 5 BPs, he would have served to win the set, he would have won it, it would have boosted his confidence and the outcome of the match would probably have been different. Bread was broken there.Nole went through hell in that 9th game.
That would be shocking. Who would do such a thing?Respect your consistency. Some people would have changed there mind because Djok won.
Djokovic also let go of balls he could have reached to preserve energySo Djokovic forced 43 errors out of Alcaraz whose court coverage saved probably 10 winners.
Alcaraz forced 24 errors out of Djokovic.
68 earned points by Djokovic, 65 by Alcaraz.
The difference Djokovic having 8 less UE, playing a very clean match considering the amount of rallying and that it was on clay.
Well, it's clear that you don't learn from experience.Experience is BS. A word that human invented in order to feel better about their fails. "I lost, but at least got some experience". But somehow next time you lose again.
Indeed.Djokovic also let go of balls he could have reached to preserve energy
