Will Djokovic ever win another Slam again?

Novack will win 2-3 next year. Same people who said a year ago Nadal will never win again with his knee problems. Never doubt a champion example Tom Brady.

I fear that he will win multiple Slams and I will be made to look an enormous fool. His determination is an X factor which I have underestimated too many times.

Your official USO final prediction Ruud over Alcaraz in 4 sets wanted me to tie you up to chair again and read Bible to you as a mean of torture. Why do I get the feeling that you actually put your money on Alcaraz?

Too funny. There are threads like this one on every message boards every time he loses a match.
When he lost to Davidovic in MC, he was never winning a Masters again ===> 3 weeks later, he wins Rome without dropping a set.
In RG no one else was gonna stop him, only Nadal could... in a long, undecided 4 sets with dozens of opportunities to take it to 5... but of course he lost, so he was never going to win a Slam ever again. ===> he won the next one. Usual stuff I should say. He rarely loses twice in a row in Slams.
He lost his first match against Alcaraz 7-6 in the 3rd with multiple mini-match points and I already see folks predicting he will never win a set against him. 3 weeks later he beat Sinner who breadsticked Alcaraz in the previous match. LOL

The stars? The universe? HA! The stars were NOT aligned for Djokovic in Wimbledon. Not like Nadal in Melbourne. Alex Hawke and Shapovalov made sure to align the stars for him. But in Wimbledon the big favorite of the tournament won, and was never close to lose. No surprise, no luck here. Nadal withdrawing against Kyrgios couldn't favor Djokovic since Djokovic would've been even more favorite of the final. If Djokovic plays Slam finals again, I'll prefer Nadal over Kyrgios whether it's in Melbourne, Wimbledon or NY. That had nothing to do with the stars. Medvedev and Zverev are so bad on grass, their absence had nothing to do with the stars and the universe.

I had to do a lot of good deeds behind the scenes which only @travlerajm is aware.

Think Djokovic's chance just increased by 30% after the beatdown FAA gave Alcaraz today in DC. At least that's what I read on another forum. lol

Not exactly a beatdown (3 sets) but still good. I said this before, he’s made himself a target.

But to be fair, he might be still reeling from his USO win and might not be in the best frame of mind.

At the rate things are going, things seem to be a bit unknown - a bit in the dark.

Will the stars align for him again? Will the Universe restore its order?

Will they oh wise ones?
What happened to Zara?

Troll thread. Anyone who in 2022 thought Nole will never win a slam again, is an IDIOT. And I am not ashamed to say this.
Nole has been virtually the number 1 player since every year from 2011 (except 2017). No one could stop him.

Not in 2013 or 2019. Rafa was better.

2019 was when Nole Mauled nadal in AO. It was the ATP finals when Nole lost the ranking, he needed 1 match.
Yes but Nole was being crushed by Wawrinka remember that? In USO 2019 He was also losing to 23 year old Medvedev a lot too. Nadal was crushing Meddy. So I give Nadal the nod in 2019

He had an injured shoulder, that he was treating since Cincinnati, remember? He was getting it treated between matches.

Nah I think Nole was the better player. He lost motivation after the Nole slam. Murray crashed out to Anderson at the 2016 USO. Nole was way better
Way way better. Murray deserved it because he cared for the ranking more than Nole did after RG2016. But on the court Nole was better. And if a slam came when they both were fit, 100% people would put money on Nole.

Nole was the better player until RG. After that it was Murray all the way, he won Wimbledon, Olympics, Shanghai, Paris and WTF, before that he also made finals of AO, RG, Madrid, and he won Rome. He was overall the better player.

Murray played every tournament post USO. Nole didn’t give a damn. He was out drinking and partying in Serbia and still made a freaking USO final. Murray crashed out to loser Nishikori

2 slams and a Runner up vs 1 slam and 2 runner ups. I give Nole the nod

He was not drinking, but he was trying to find higher journey or something along with his brother and Pepe Imaz. What a crook.

Yeah, that is what the ITF champion is. Tennis is more than just slams, we have 9 masters, the YEC, olympics, as big titles also.
Look at the way their finals went as well. Nole destroyed Murray. His mom was smiling ear to ear when Nole was gone in Wimby knowing he wont put any challenge to Murray
While in USO, despite starting to decline from unimaginable peak of RG, Nole actually had better DR and was just not clutch enough vs Stan. Despite having serving issues due to his elbow.

Murray lost to Nishikori. He didn’t make another USO final after that 2012 win

I know Djokovic was the best player up to and including RG. I don't deny that.

But taking the whole year into account, I can see why Murray got it. Tennis cannot simply be about just the slams, it's an 11 month season.

I agree with you. Suppose Alcaraz had won Paris masters and made finals of ATP finals and Sinner tanker against Rune in the round robin. Would people think Alcaraz is the best in the world with 1 slam compared to three for Nole? No.

Lol You saying that makes no sense. You said Rafa was ahead at AO22 but tennis is not simply about slams.

It’s all about the slams. Murray’s 2016 was basically him vulturing a bunch of best of threes and beating loser Raonic in front of a heavily biased British crowd. Djokovic humiliated Murray in Australia and Roland. I think Djo was better in 2016

Djokovic not playing more tennis would be on him. You cannot fault Alcaraz for that. The title gets decided by won wins the race, it is very clearly stated in the rules, that the guy who wins the races is the rightful world number one because he won the points. The ITF takes care of what you are talking about, which is slams, and ITF events.
