Its crazy how quickly he made Sampras an afterthought... only to become an afterthought below novak (1) and rafa (2)

I've heard this line on Twitter before, you're not original :russ:


I tell all Tennis casuals this. Djokovic was sitting on 14 Grand Slams before 2019. Waited until Federer and Nadal were aging to beat up on them and take advantage of the failed Next Gen players. Only one in his way were failed players like Tiafoe, Zverev, Medvedev, Raonic, etc. Won 40% of his slams AFTER his contemporaries aged. He faced Tstistipas in Grand Slam Finals TWICE when he started to rack up Grand Slams. Nuff said lol

I ain’t watched the video yet but that shyt had to be hell. It used to be Federer and Nadal you had to mainly worry about. Then here comes Djokovic and every other tennis player is just like :snoop:

Oh he was only sitting on 14 slams eh? Just the 14? :russ:

Man your boy beat up on a weaker era to get his headstart that was erased by the other two and now the era is utter dog shyt that Sinner and Alcaraz are dominating

Look at the big titles ratio of the big three and Fededer is dead last :mjlol:

Djokovic and Nadal are 1 and 2 respectively, there's no doubt about that. Its so funny to hear this nonsense narrative that Djokovic and Nadal weren't out there in the most difficult era of tennis to date winning still.

I personally don't care how you get your W's. Fed has less than Rafa and Rafa has less than Nole :manny:

That's the only measure of success tennis wise we acknowledge. You wanna argue Fed the GOAT, have at it.

Serena the GOAT and better than Margaret court to me despite not having more majors than Court :manny:

I get this but wasn't Fed on 14 slams and Novak on 2 before Novak made an epic run to surpass him eventually.

Nadal and Djokovic are the same age only like a year apart. Federer beat the likes of Bagdathis, Philipousis, Nalbandian in finals
