Nole's best Slam is behind him, but there are three more on the table in 2025. World #1 Jannik Sinner's year is in doubt, with the final results of an appeal in his doping case still pending. Novak defeated Carlos Alcaraz at the AO, and pushed Sascha Zverev to the brink in the one set they played.

Without knowing what's in store for Sinner, but recognizing that Alcaraz has his two best majors coming up, and seeing the draws are quite challenging with the addition of Zverev...

...do you think Nole will claim his 25th major in 2025?
 
If Alcaraz gets upset at Wimbledon, then yes. He is still heads and shoulders above the rest of the field on grass (including Sinner) except for that one guy.
Otherwise, no.
 
Djoker will bag a slam title this year. Last year was knee surgery. This year, he’s mostly back. I think that he would have beaten Sinner in the final in 5 sets, had he not gotten injured.


Wimbledon is a good bet for Djoker. I might place a bet on that, just to get my money back from the AO(I bet on Djoker to win). And I still wouldn’t be shocked if Djoker won the FO either.

Historically his best. But I still think his odds are better at Wimbledon these days.

As good as Alcaraz has been at SW19 the last couple years, I don't have him automatically penciled in to the final. It's easy to see one slip-up completely opening up the draw for Novak.

Wimby USO Double

Make it happen
 
3 ways he can win any of the next 3 slams imo:

1. stay fit enough to compete at RG. He’s the favourite if he makes it into week 2 imo. Not convinced by Raz on clay at all especially in the matchup with Djoker. Sinner is still kinda unproven on clay

2. If Alcaraz has another classic inconsistent head case moment and bails out early at Wimbledon. I don’t think Djoker has a chance vs him in a late round between the two of them, but Raz could lose before then

3. If Sinner gets banned, Djoker is the favourite for the US Open
 
The big “if” is if he can stay healthy. He’s been struggling with that the last couple of years. He’s gotten hurt so he has to reduce his schedule which makes him a little rusty. His ranking drops so he gets more difficult draws. Of course, if anyone can figure out how to peak for a two week slam it’s obviously Novak.
 
Few players know how to play on grass, and it's a less taxing surface on the body, so Wimbledon is likely his best chance. I don't see his body holding up at the other majors, and there are also now several players who can have a good day and beat him.
 
Funny how the narrative changes.

Just 13 months ago we were talking about the possibility Djokovic wins 30 slams.
 
I don't think you can ever rule him out as long as he's healthy but I voted no because he's playing less and to be on top of things, a pro needs to be playing on a regular basis. The combination of him having to work harder to get to a final and his body starting to decline is a combination that's going to make it extremely difficult for him.
 
He's not getting through consecutive long 5 set matches against the likes of sinner, zverev and alcaraz, if he's carrying injuries.
But he was written off before Olympics as well, so you never know in the cie. Draw might open up and there's a lot of players that struggle against him.

No tennis player of that age can win 7 best-of-five-set matches, it's impossible.
Djokovic's level will decline even further compared to last season, so early defeats await him at Major tournaments from now on.

Yes it's impossible and if it happens we will cry here

Unfortunately for his fans, there are clear signs that what happened to the legends of the past will happen to him very soon.

His fans have no reason for your pity.

People very similar to you had said he will never beat alcaraz in BO5 again. And when Djokovic handed him an L, the crying here was pathetic like little kids.

What happened after he beat Alcaraz: He couldn't take it anymore.
At Roland Garros it will be much worse for him.

If his body holds itself and he remain injury free Novak is still a threat in slams. Or he have to Nadal style give everything for one last slam

Sinner would have defeated him in straight sets, come on.

His fans don't seem to understand that their idol is in free fall, and in the upcoming tournaments his definitive physical decline will become even more evident.
:D

How does one think Djokovic wins another major when Sinner and Alcaraz are reaching prime Slam winning form? Alcaraz is preferred everywhere except AO but AO happens to be Sinner's best major. There is a non-zero chance but he needs a confluence of several favorable factors.

Same way many members declared Djokovic couldn't beat raz in 2023 rg and he did.

Or olympics and he did.

Then you guys started new tune he can't beat them in bo5 and when nole did, one guy changed profile from raz to Jesus and others started abusing raz..

The same way , Djokovic is underrated now. He can beat raz and sinner but he has to remain healthy.

No, he can't beat Sinner anymore, and that's been evident since their clash at last year's Australian Open.
The Italian player is on another level and only Alcaraz can currently compete with him.
:D

Did you also fall into the delusional belief that this was going to happen?
