Ridiculous Djokovic Hype

So does this mean "don't believe the hype" has been a lie all these years?????

I love this site. It has a history which makes it so much more fun.
I wonder are there any more old "Djokovic will never..." types of threads here. By now I am sure he did 90% of stuff he was never supposed to. :)
If you can find a thread that's called "Novak is an overrated hack with no talent and won't ever win his 2nd slam title and will be the new Roddick" bump it up by all means.

Why? Federer never proved that and he never will against his Nemesis aka Nadal. Djokovic beat Federer in 2 GS and humiliated him in the last one.
This was posted right after AO11. So Novak had 3 slam wins over RF, not two.

What is it with these past generations of forum guys? They were so sloppy with their both their predictions and their facts. We're so much better.

Djokovic recently won his second grandslam, two years after his first one and now the hype surrounding him is absurd. Never have I seen this much hype. Murray, Berdych and Soderling hype is kind of funny, but saying Djokovic will win Wimbledon? Come on.

Is it all a big joke or something?

To be fair to OP, this was before anyone knew that competition would drop off a cliff and before it became well known that Djokovic was using egg technology.

Oh, yeah, that's tremendously "fair." You're nothing if not consistent.

On more logic posts, I see somebody has been busy digging up wrong predictions, plural, about Novak, lol.

We've been more than fair to OP, even with our sarcastic comments, all things considering.

And he couldn't even get the facts straight. Novak won his 2nd after 3 years, not after two years.

2011-2008 = 3

Kinda basic.

Stop it with the bitterness already. Some people are just having a bit of fun, and if I were to be asked frankly, I'd say those guys who naively and in true knee jerk fashion predicted that X player will be a failure etc truly deserve to be shamed whatever way that is.

Don't confuse bitter with banter. Most of those posters aren't even around to be shamed anyway. But if it makes you feel better go a head :D

Monaco must be happy he has such a good friend in Djokovic. He asked for Delpo to pay him, but he refused.

And Kudos to Monaco for renting out flats in Monte Carlo. His tennis career is pretty much over, it seems.
It is a nice place, kind of hit the jackpot once when I visited it.

One thing's for certain - hardcore Fed fans like @tennisaddict and @tennis_pro are gonna be absolutely brutal towards us Djokovic fans when Roger next beats him. And I thought Shanghai 2014 was bad!!! :eek::eek:
I have never seen them in brutal mode. More like pussycat going "meow" mode.

An elephant being attacked by an ant.

And anyway, though RF beating Novak is not sci-fi but is close to LOTR.

It's a place of criminals, jet-set bunnies and athletes. A weird place, in other words.

To me jackpot would be catching a pro train on a court and then asking him to play with me, and him saying yes. Or her.
To me jackpot is leaving Monte Carlo with visibly fuller pockets than when entering it.

Well they will have to wait at least until 2016 Dubai or Cincinnati...

Right on let's necro old threads just to gloat.

#nolefam as balanced as their hero
Still more balanced/related to tennis /than making threads about Stoic warrior LOL, Forbs lists, about a fan allegdly awakened from a coma to see Federer ...

And I tought that RedFoe just messes up with fanboys agendas, shaking their cages like there is no tomorow:D

Who doesn't want to know how much money Federer made last fiscal year? :eek:

True fans are more concerned with this than say the 'unfairness' of the 20 second rule in GS's.

So glad you speak for all true fans. I am honoured to have you as my spokesman, just can't remember when the vote took place?

If RF and Novak ever decided to share some of that money with me, then I'd study that Forbes list, memorize it, carry a pocket calculator and make arrangements for Moon tourism.

Until then, those lists are about as exciting as watching Mrs. Federer shove milk bottles down her twins' throats.

Besides, judging from your idol's constant whining to umpires about Rafa, he is more than concerned with the 20sec rule.

It's a shame Djokovic doesn't share some of that money with you, you might be able to buy a working sarcasm detector then :D

Ironic you mention it. RF offered me half his fortune and one pair of his test-tube twins for the sarcasm and I wouldn't sell.

Novak doesn't need it on the other hand, doing just fine. Never made an offer.

No idea. If he wants to keep the number 2 spot, he must play there.
No, he has to skip it. Being a washed-up no 2 and so very old at his grandpa 34, useless and unable to win more than the measly 9000 points, his bones are creaking, way past his prime, he needs to make a stopover at the Basel Nursing Home for a few weeks.

At least that's the rumour in some RF camps.

I just wish he'd made that stopover six weeks ago!

We are four months away from the next Slam, nothing wrong with having some fun with these threads

A second 3 slam season and all your guys have hopped on the slams are everything band wagon aye ;)

I'm still interested to see how this end of year pans out, I want Federer to get that #2 ranking for this year and if he could win the WTF that would be pretty good too.

WTF is reserved for only Novak and RF, the rest are pawns in their game.

I'm not on the wagon; but this place is always kind of dead between the USO and the AO with maybe a little life at the WTF

Not after he's lost the last 2 slam finals and the BP's debacle of the USO final.
He'd more or less guarantee the WTF record will stand by winning a 7th title. Not as good as winning a slam obviously but still nothing to sniff at.

I do want Federer to lock up that record. I feel Djokovic's record there will become extraordinary in the next few years.

After this year I think you can take it.
Yeah, a loss in Shanghai this year won't sting as much as it did in 2014 but I'd still love to see Novak win 5 Masters in a season for the second time to go alongside his two 3 slam seasons. :)

And Djokovic fans like me start running for cover!
No no no no no. Slam matches are where it's at.

We have STRONG defense. Novak won last 3 slam finales vs. RF and we can milk that on the boards like a Swiss Milka cow for a long time yet, hopefully for years.
