[Arrogance.]

Roger and Serena both lost... how long will they both have left to continue to keep winning?

I think they’re both playing to stay fit for Japan and after that, ride off into the sunset.

 

[Miles Davis]

Whole squad had drinks and a bbq to watch this match and I’m stuck doing a 12 hour shift.

Looked like a fukkin legendary match as well.

Oh shyt, how you been breh? Ain’t seen you in the Knicks thread in a minute.

I can’t wait for the revisionist history when Joker is the 37 year old on tour with the most slams ever and ALL the crowds he’s told to shut the fukk up have to “respect” him

They will NEVER respect him as much as they do fed/rafa, and he's better for it.

Surprise by Fed, kudos to him for this performance, actually playing the better tennis but just losing the crucial points

How it unfolded in the end

and clowns were calling novak the goat

Who wins this match in they primes???

Djokovic is too consistent and was beating Fed at the same age he is now, dont believe that Feds prime was in 06/08, that was when he won the most not really tested. His best tennis was around 30/33

Not even a question. Look at how old Federer is compared to Novak and this game is still close.

Djokovic has beat a younger Fed in 4 before

To add on why Djokovic isnt liked, tennis is a middle class sport and most fans who attend tourneys are and so are the journos who cover the sport. Djokovic is eastern european working class and these journos and fans are very snobbish and have issues with people like him doing well, especially in their closed off dominated areas For example look at how middle class journos cover sports like football and boxing which are largely working class and the difference between that and a sport like tennis, where they are not as disparaging of its stars. Certain its the same in American sports.

Another reason is ofcourse he came late to the party but peaked higher than both Fed and Rafa.

But nonetheless my nicca won

 

[Formerly known as...]

He does
Only a year older than federer

Plays doubles not singles last I heard and not even sure he's still doing doubles

who y'all got for US open?

Joker but US Open is where you find many good players on that surface, and they play under the lights til late as fukk.

 

[MillionMills]

Both Nadal and Novak ending with 25 by the time they are done playing

Thanks for the breakdown bro I'm more of a casual when it comes to tennis

Wimbledon is Fed fans, French is Rafa fans.

Aus/Us love the top 3.

Remember boring Marat Safin

 

[MillionMills]

I still don't think Novak surpassing Roger

I do believe Novak should clearly be ranked higher than Nadal all time

The Rafa disrespect. Son getting injured all the time really has people forgetting there was a time where he was invincible and won 3 out of 4 majors. He just pushed Novak to the limit here last year after coming off a classic match.

 

[malbaker86]

who y'all got for US open?

1A. Djoker
1B. Nadal
3. Federer (depending on how his draw plays out)
4. Felix Auger-Aliassime

Yea Felix only 18 (well he'll be 19 early August) and has only had 2 career Grand Slams appearances, but i'm getting ahead of the field on the young GOAT. If he plays Montreal and Cincy and wins a few matches, he could sneak into the top 16 and be seated going into the USO

And before the convo even gets started on Young GOAT:
