One point? I tought he won the tie break 7-4, and he was 6-1 at one point, the match was much more one sided than some people are willing to recognize, the only reason there was tension was because we know novak and we were always specting him to come back but he just played better one set and even then he almost lost it, nadal didnt let him do anything really

Because we're tennis fans.
The real question would be why someone who doesn't care about the achievements of two of the greatest players in the history of tennis is posting on a tennis forum?

Yeah, most of us are emotionally invested. That makes the sport more enjoyable or painful, depending on the outcome of certain matches.

Djoko should still comfortably get the slam record. Nadal may have 1 more slam to collect in his career. But Djoko should easily have 5.

I never said that. But things are different now and everyone knows Nadal is currently no match for him outside of clay.

The problem is this would work only if they are going to face each other. If they are in opposite halves of the draw, it may very well happen that someone will take them out. The field is truly catching up and one off day (which is really not unlikely at this advanced age) can throw all plans.

Lmao, the only thing your guy won in 2021 was a beatdown at RG.

I guess I don’t know about that.
Yesterday completely surprised me. I think Nadal would not be a push over at Wimbledon for sure. Maybe even the USO.
My expectations got turned upside down by that QF.
Not saying he’s a favorite at all. But I’d not say he’s for sure no match for him - except at the AO.

He just turned 19 and already has 2 Masters 1000. Novak had 0 at his age.

You can find comfort in the fact that Nadal may retire after RG 2022 or simply skip the rest of 2022 due to his foot Müller syndrome. So Nadal fans will have even more hypotheticals. "What if Nadal had a normal foot and had played WB 2022, USO 2022, RG 2023, RG 2024, RG 2025, RG 2026, etc.").
At the end of the day, none of this is fair or unfair, just how things develop. Better to accept it.

I’m more than happy with everything Novak achieved. I’m cool with the loss as he simply lost to the better player and a god on that surface.
Djokovic fans have got Wimbledon and other events to look forward to. As long as Novak is still happy playing and we get to see a bit more of him that’s all that matters.
He’s already achieved so much and his legacy secure as one of the best. Anything else is a bonus.
Rafa will likely the slam record king and be viewed the greatest but djoko has did so much and a lot more than any of us thought was possible 10-11 years ago.

In general the defining quality of the Big 3 is that they keep going. There is yet to be a defeat that they haven't rebounded from.
Djokovic won his 20th slam 13 years after his first. Rafa won his 21st slam 17 years after his first. Federer won his 20th slam 15 years after his first. They keep going.
The question for Djokovic is whether he's healthy and allowed to play. If he is, he will continue to compete at the top level in every tournament.

Exactly. There's no need to feel bad after one of them loses.

Haha GOAT post!
I feel Wimbledon is his last chance . The problem I feel he has is that despite all the hype about his mental strength it is his mentality that seems to let him down in the most pressure moments and with the Wimbledon crowd British media and probably wimbledon officials all likely pretty hostile to him I question whether he will be able to survive the pressure cooker especially as this year there is real threats from the Next Gen on grass. Korda FAA Zverev and Alcaraz will be formidable obstacles for anyone.
I felt the the FO was a must win event for him and his best chance as he is usually very popular in Paris although I'm a bit lost as to why he was being booed this year. That's never happened in Paris before.
It just feels the end of the road for the Big 3 now. I think zverev might beat Rafa. FAA has challenged hallenged nadal and djokovic on his worse surface. Alcaraz was rubbish v Zverev but that probably was what he needed at this stage to give him that next level of concentration. He has all the talent. Korda will be super dangerous on grass and you can bet will be determined to not be eclipsed by Alcaraz and FAA . And I hate to say this as I cannot stand the little mommy boy or his mom for that matter but Rune is also going to be a nightmare draw at slams as he does have all the shots and I think he will love grass.
If Djokovic can win Wimbledon this year could be his greatest ever achievement. The good news for him is stamina is not an issue for players on grass.
Absolutely, the true GOAT that he will become in '24 is still to be seen. Guy is fit, and some matchplay sets him up well for wimbledon. Djoker fans have seen a lot of seasons with losses to Nadal, so nothing new there. Let's see when ball is zipping left right on grass and you can't stand zillion feet behind the line to pick services. Lot will change on grass and looking forward.

Ah you missed quite a bit of my predictions lol.
To be fair I maintain Carlos was the favorite going into the RG match, no one could’ve predicted cramping.
