Congrats to Nole...even as a Fed fan, he's gonna run it up to the top of every statistic there is in the sport.

History books won't deny his spot and fans shouldn't either...don't stop yourself from appreciating once in a lifetime greatness.

Serbia bout to go crazy after Jokic wins tmrw too

I'm a fed stan to begin with but Novak is clearly the GOAT. His will to win is another level. He chased down Fed and Nadal and only he believed he could do it! Just listening to Fed and Nadal talk about playing him lets you know how good he really is

father time will catch him, and quietly it's getting closer, but if he continues to manage his schedule, aka using the smaller tourney's to play himself into Grand Slam form, he got at least 3 more GS wins in him. Unless Alcaraz becomes sub human, he's not getting challenged by anyone

from that to this

This. You can see how he isn't bothered about losing in quarters of earlier in the tournaments before slams. He always turns up to Slams ready to perform.

He's been my second favorite player behind Fed. In my book, I'll always have Fed #1 in the same way I think Tiger is the GOAT golfer. Their peaks were the best but Novak and Jack have the greatest careers.

I also can't argue anyone who has Novak/Jack as GOAT.

 

[Regular_P]

His career arc is pretty crazy tbh, w/perhaps his most dominant run coming in his 30's

The Tour turned into total slop. Same reason Fed was able to win a few more Slams even though his body was falling apart.

Djokovic has never lost to any of these next gen guys in a Slam besides Medvedev in the 2021 US Open when he was absolutely exhausted. I guess Thiem counts too in the 2017 French but that's it. Sam Querrey beat him more than any of these new guys.

Crazy in 23 years men's tennis has had 4 different GOATS

Sampras
Fed
Nadal
Nole

*5 if you count the wheelchair GOAT shingo kunieda with 28 singles titles*

Man I love that partnership. They seem to genuinely care about each other. They’ll eventually get a slam.

Yea I think well hope they get one too. I didn't think TT would develop into the doubles player she has but i'm glad it has happened.

I'd "slam" both of them too tho

She doesn't have to move as much in doubles. I wish she'd get in better shape because she is really talented but she's cheating herself by not keeping her weight down.
