i don't think so. any slam is good for nole. but W was his dream since he was a little kid and he said that he think that it is his best chance for 25.
I think he would rather have 8 wimbledon titles than 26 slams
Rooting for Zverev to reach the final and lose so he gets the career finals slam without ever winning one.Zverev
i don't
Dude, Djokovic has not won a slam in almost two years. Many times I wonder if you really back him.
Yeah and he doesn’t need to win another. He’s basically completed tennis and he’s 38. As Djokovic fans we get greedy a bit like Novak but it isn’t essential anymore. He won more than I ever thought was possible.
You don't get it. This is likely his last shot at Wimbledon, therefore he need to win it the most.
Even if it his last chance he still doesn’t need it the most. He’s won 7 of them and has 24 slams. Sinner is 23 and hasn’t won it yet. He’s in the peak of his career so him losing is much worse than Jurassic Djokovic losing.
You are wrong again. Djokovic is 38, Sinner will get many chances in the future.
No guarantee Sinner wins in future though. Right now sinner is in the form of his life and at peak/prime form and age. Sinner not winning this Wimbledon is a bigger disappointment than Djokovic not winning. Djokovic is 3rd favourite at best so isn’t expected to win. He has 7 titles in his trophy cabinet so it hurts him less. Whereas any slam sinner loses is a major disappointment for the world no1.
Without making all out effort novak is not winning wimbeldon.
As a fan of Sinner, I really would like to see a proper win in a slam against Alcaraz. I’m tired of him coming up short it’s a pain. And it’s not that he isn’t playing well enough
For someone who is 1.93 he served worse than his 1.83 opponent in the RG final, which ultimately led to his demise, despite having 3 match points. And that’s the problem in the rivalry.Sinner, obviously.
The world number 1 must prove he is the best player in the world by winning his second Major of the season.
He can't allow Alcaraz to continue to gain ground on him in this type of tournaments.
I agree he needs to play like it his last chance and try throw everything at it. That’s true but it still isn’t as important for him as it is for sinner or alcaraz. This shouldn’t be his time now and he’s on house money. The fact he even a contender after all these years and what he’s won is incredible.
I agree. Sinner has pressure because of the alcaraz mental baggage. He has to beat him soon in a big slam match. As he can turn the tide if he can find a way to win. If not alcaraz can basically become the blocker to sinner in slams and the biggest matches going forward. Sinner has to stop the rot. He is very close but he needs to get over the line fast.
And people always compare them to the Fed Nadal rivalry, but people forget Fed was beating Nadal in slams - at Wimbledon
When you are in the race you are there for winning the title.
I agree. Feds rivalry with Nadal was ugly early on but he at least beat at Wimbledon and a couple of places. The fear for sinner is alcaraz beats him everywhere.
I’m sure Novak will give it his all. He did that in the last 2 slams and had 2 great runs. He still a wants to win and has the magic but it just more difficult now due to alcaraz/sinner in his path. He has nothing to lose though. They have more to lose than him at this point.
I think he really needs to win Wimbledon - if he loses it would look like this:
Novak has to gamble everything for one last roll of dice.
Sinner won 3 of the las 6 slams, Djokovic needs this Wimby so much more. Just reckon you don't back Nole as much as your username would suggest.
Sinner should be winning most of the slams now. He is 23 and at his peak right now. He only on 3 slams so still has a long way to go. As much as we should have faith in Djokovic he is 38 and is slowing down. I want Djokovic to win but if he doesn’t it’s expected. His trophy cabinet is stacked and he’s trying to add the final bonus cherries on his completed cake now. If he unable to though it won’t affect him as much as sinner/alcaraz.
Honestly Sinner needs a big win over Alcaraz. It’s well overdue. It pains as a fan, he’s not losing cuz he’s not good enough. He generated 3 MPs and could seal the deal and same at the USO 3 years ago. He needs to toughen up and ride a momentum wave
I agree. Sinner’s losses are tough to take if you are a sinner fan. As most have been close where sinner had match points or been winning only for alcaraz to comeback and beat him. There isn’t much in it but Carlos just edges the bigger points right now. Sinner has time to turn it around though. Let’s see.
And it's not like hes being overpowered or demolished, hes blowing leads and momentum waves. Thats what makes it even hurtful
Djokovic clearly. If he keeps losing to Alcaraz and Sinner he is going to end up 5th on the ATG list this century and seem as a basic stop gap between the Fedal and Sinneraz eras. This Wimbledon is massive for Djokovic.
