As much as this match hurt Novak, it was the reason he won the next 4 slams in a row. He was a man on a mission after that match

Yes this is true. Losing in a way was good for Djokovic.

Taking a look at the very first game is enough to see how visibly Djokovic's strokes lack in power compared to Stan's, which is crucial on clay yet some mugs legitimately believe Joe to be the third or even second bestest claycourter of all spacetime roflmao.

Who said Djokovic was the 2nd to 3rd best ever on clay?

I think people did. He's in top 10. Dal Borg Rosewall Lendl Kuerten all are comfortably above him.
Djokovic fans think all sorts these days.

Bottom half of top 10 in OE it is. Courier would be better at RG but not overall.

All I remember is Djokovic beating Nadal, deciding that's enough for now and that he will go for the whole tournament next year. What the hell is this?

I wonder if Fed fans would've liked to see Djok winning the final, knowing there's a likely chance of Novak not performing well later on at Wimb 15 or USO 15.
After winning RG 15, something like Anderson would've taken out Djokovic at Wimb 15 for example, Novak's hunger and motivation was a lot during that time because of that loss but would've relaxed after RG 15 imo + pressure for CYGS

I remember having faith in Murray in the RG 16 final to make it very competitive after taking the first set then we saw what happened lol.

You are absolutely right because from that day on Djokovic refused to lose at four straight slams, and many of us, including you, got to see for the first time in our lifetimes a male player hold all four slams at the same time.....this was the start of the Earth's Mightiest run. This loss was the catalyst.The day tennis was saved

With one French Open title, you gotta be kidding. Djokovic isn’t even top 10 on clay with guys like Guga, Kuerten, Wilander, Courier and Brugera way in front of him. Even one-time FO champions like Muster and Vilas have vastly superior clay records than Novak.

I think Novak is a great clay court player, but yes, there are several players ahead of him, many of them you have mentioned. I'm surprised you didn't mention Lendl. LOL

Yes imo after 2012 Djokovic became less attacking and it hurt him vs Wawrinka.

Not Djokovic matches. Honest to God I might watch him play 5-6 times a year. I just don't enjoy watching him play and there's so many other things I can be watching. If he's playing Fed or Nadal or a slam final I might, otherwise, lol no. Usually when a Djokovic match is on, if I'm not working, I'm watching Spartacus, or one of my fav live artists on YouTube, reaction videos, an Undertaker match, you get the point

Shame even though Nadal was off you missed out on a GOATing level but then again you don’t enjoy Djokovic so it probably didn’t bother you.
