No surprise the Capy crew contributed to the lolympics section in the poll.

Would be nice and all but the main thrill has always been at Slams.

Good point(s). Admittedly, this is a side point to the thread, but my command of women's tennis history may be a little off.
There was in (1970 or 1971) a Virginia Slims pro circuit which came before the WTA. And by '73, the US Open offered the same prize money to men and women. While professionals could play at the men's slams by the middle of 1968, when was that truly opened for women?...I know that there was no competing tour. I would guess that the larger prize money available to women in the early 70s did make the sport more open to players outside of (and even within) US, Australia and Great Britain.

The fact remains that ALL top women, world wide competed in All snactioned women's tournaments as well as the slams before 1968, until now. Again the Open Era ONLY applies to Men's tennis.
 
I’ll take another Wimbledon or USO, to tie the all time record there. Then id take the French Open, 4x CGS, then Olympic Gold, then the Aussie.

But at this point everything else he does is a bonus lol. You can’t expect much more out of him.

Olympics easily.

I feel if he doesn't win it this year he'll get very disappointed and experience massive loss of motivation, thus end his career maybe at the end of the year or during the next one.

Why? On the contrary, he may lose motivation if he wins Olympics. And if he doesn’t win, he will be motivated to win in 2028 on HC.

Not many, since tennis was not an Olympic Sport for many years. Also, in some years not all top players competed, ss the year Agassi won. In the open era only: Agassi, Nadal, Murray- a near ATG- has won an OG, as far as I can recall. A tournament played only once every four years, should not be taken seriously.

It is amazing that Fed has never won Olympics.

2000 lost to Haas 1-2
2004 lost to Berdych 0-2
2008 lost to Blake 0-2
2012 lost to Murray 0-3

Fed is 0-4 in Olympics losing 9 of 10 sets.

There's no way he'll play professional tennis in 2028. Best case scenario he ends his career in mid 2026, but I think it'll be during 2025.​

One more Wimbledon title.

Become the greatest grand slam champion in singles of all time, mens or womens. Retire by setting the new gold standard.

I want one more USO, so he can be tied with Pete at 2 majors! I would love that, plus some what corrects his terrible USO finals record.

Depends what slam it is.

I’d prefer him to win an olympic gold over another Australia or French.

However, I’d prefer him tying the Wimbledon record or open era us open record over Olympic gold.

Overall it’s a tough choice. To be honest he has the most slams of any male player which most important so overall I might lean olympic gold to complete set.

I will take any slam over OG please

He needs the Olympics as in 10 years time it will have superceded the slams importance wise. Alcaraz for instance has already said he would prioritise the OG over the FO this season.
Graf Serena Nadal having the career golden slam is a big deal. I can see why he wants it so badly,

I doubt Djokovic fans have any connection with Djokovic on this issue.
Djokovic cried on the court after losing the Olympics, twice.
Fans won't understand that pain, and are just obsessed with non-existent things like "goat".

Well, that is pretty much that then
 
People who want an olympics gold over a slam just don't understand Tennis properly or maybe they are all post 2012 fans, for them olympics is important because all their lives they've known it to be one.

Thats sort of the point. As time goes on the bigger the Olympics gets for the reasons you make. Its something for instance as time goes on will be a big advantage for Agassi over Sampras given he also won all the Majors which Pete didnt. Their h2h though the counter point

Yeah, Agassi's CGS became more important in 00s and 2010s after Big 3 won it in the homogenous era but in 90s this was not considered that big a deal because Agassi was much below Pete in 90s. History gets revisioned every era, it is inevitable as new immature fans join the fold and look at things from their own lens.
 
A. Zverev has a gold medal and 0 slams.
A. Murray has a gold medal and 3 slams.
R. Nadal has gold medals (doubles and singles) and 22 slams.

feel like Wimbledon / USO should be main targets as he’s 1 off the record. 4th rg doesn’t do much for him at this stage, unless he defeats sinner and Alcaraz in back to back 5 sets epics or something. Another Ruud open is about as worthwhile as an ATP 250.
 
Wouldn’t he want to at least tie the record for most Wimbledons and most USOs by winning one more of each especially when one of his main rivals Federer is ahead at both Slams? Plus a fourth FO would take him clearly into 3rd place on clay. Hard for me to understand when posters say he has no more motivation to win Slams. If he doesn’t win any more, it will be because he is not better than the young stars anymore physically and not because he is lacking motivation. If all he cares about is setting up his year to win an Olympic gold, he is throwing away a chance to get some prestigious records at the other three Slams - and he might play too tight in Serbian colors and not win the Gold anyway as in his past Olympic failures.
 
Not a Djokovic fan myself, but another RG would be a huge achievement for him. I'm not one to compare men's and women's tennis (they're completely different sports), but to have 4x CGS which is something only Graf has achieved in tennis as a whole would be legendary. In my opinion, if he got another FO, USO and an OG gold, he'll have done it all for sure. On an 'unrelated' note, it'd be nice of him to leave the WB record to Federer :laughing:
 
He has proven himself at GS but he still has unfinished business at the Olympics. Winning OG would elevate him to the ranks of ancient sport heroes of Ancient Greece, something eternal. Later on that could be the Myth of Novak, quite a fantastic story...

History gets re-written for many reasons. Court for instance is almost being airbrushed out of the sport!

Another interesting Big3 stat

1) won all 4 slams atleast once - Fed

2) won all 4 slams atleast twice - Nadal

3) won all 4 slams atleast thrice - Djok

Yes, which is why I'd go 4th French Open title (win all 4 slams at least 4 times) > 8th Wimbledon title (tied for most Wimbledon titles ever) > 5th US Open title (tied for most USO titles ever) > Olympic Gold > 11th AO title (Djokovic already holds the record there)

Olympic Gold is great, but in tennis, it is still below the slams in prestige. You just have to look at every Olympics tennis draw to see how much weaker those are than slams.
 
Probably Olympics as I know how much Djokovic wants it and it would complete the set.

That said another would make a record 25 and be harder to break for Alcaraz and co.

Slightly Olympics as Novak has 24 slams already but either is big.
