Djokovic's path to the potential CYGS and 21 is likely Zverev and Medvedev, likely because FAA may pull off the upset, and it is considered pretty tough, as they are the most in form players of the HC summer. If these two were replaced by Fedal, what do you think of Djokovic's chances at it stands? In this instance all are healthy, but in their 2021 forms.
And yes, you can make a different case for which of the two he would play first in the semi and which would be waiting in the final.
Is this a TRICK QUESTION?
If Fed and Nadal made the SF/F it means they are fit.
Fedal >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Zed and Med -overrated SERIAL chokers.
Djokovic's path to CYGS is 100x EASIER because he does NOT have to face ANYONE who EVER won a slam. Fedal are champions, they wouldn't choke or hand Novak anything.
I'm willing to bet Novak would NOT have done CYGS with Fedal. Why? Not because Fedal are better, but because there would be pressure and Novak would slip and Fedal would pounce.
There is a REASON why CYGS has NOT been done. At each stage, there was AN ATG at the end stopping the CYGS warrior. Now Novak has NO ATG to deal with.
Med and Zed are both pretenders - it doesn't matter how much pressure Novak feels, NEITHER have a PRAYER to come close to taking 3 sets off Novak. Hell, they won't be able to do that in 2 matches combined.
