Lol this forum is awash with, and forever will be, on that debate. You’re misquoting Rafa btw. And you’ve made my point using “will win” “will be” “will play” Opinions aren’t facts.

Novak should retire as soon as he wins an Olympic Gold.

Why?
Born in 1993, he's 29, can play at least 10 more years in the Tour.

Totally agree.
Novak himself seems like a nice guy though a lot of his fans are super annoying. IMO AO 23 is Novak's last chance to win another HC slam. He will most likely be among the favorites at Wimb for another 2-3 years given the grass field. Outside Wimb, I only see him as a strong contender and not the favorite at the other 3 slams.

I can see Novak beeing a big threat to all upcoming grand slams (except RG 2023 - there I smell Rafa´s last dance maybe 
) I´m not a crazy Roger/Rafa/Novak fan...just a fan of tennis generally and Novak is definitely among the GOATs by right. His mental toughness gained by experience from the big matches is still something that the young guns like Tiafoe, FAA, Sinner, Alcaraz are missing. They will get there for sure, no doubt about that - Alcaraz is on a very good level already. And questioning his retirement after losing one match when he played 3 in 2 days? Come on...haven´t played a competitive match since Wimbledon and the way he crashed Tiafoe was insane. He was leaving the court beeing beat up like a dog (no disrespect to Tiafoe at all - the other day he came back in a great strong match against Tsitsipas. But Novak dominated the game in all aspects, if you haven´t seen the stats, just look at them how good he played. So when there are no health issues for him, I´m sure we will see Novak at least 5 more years on the tour - like him or not, it would be interesting to see him holding the flag from the young guys

By bookmakers hes favorite at all slams. But TTW knows better.

This. I'm not much of a Novak fan at all but I think he's going to be tough to beat in Melbourne for awhile at least.

You missed the Likely. I said he likely will.
Nothing is certain in life, including life itself.
Not to mention Federer himself was impressed with the level Djokovic produced after 2 months

Not in the post of yours that I replied to you didn’t.

Lol. Maybe I meant it that way. Hyperbole on a tennis forum is fun. And it's boring to be very circumspect all the time.

Not even close, he has at least 3 more years on the top level.
