that means little until you retrospectively look back at the end of their careers.

an extended period on the circuit at sub-par (at the tail end of career) would change those numbers significantly.

Of course yet you and so many others were likely were proclaiming Federer the GOAT well before he was out the game,

Just take the L

yea...don't wanna proclaim anything but it does seem like these 2 (MedZev) are getting closer to Novak's level and getting rid of some of that nerve

if they can keep the cool and temperament...bodes well for them going forward

OR Novak is getting closer to them. He isn't getting any younger and the pressure to perform at the highest level in the biggest moments can get to ANYBODY... earned or not.
Add that he feels he should win and all of a sudden your in a dog fight you didn't think you'd be in.

I've felt that physically, these guys have the tools...they got the shots to go toe to toe with Novak, it's just that he had the mental edge over them but seems there's been some cracks in that shield

still gotta wait til next year as I do think the moment got too big for Joker...I think beat Rafa at the French really made him realize he's the last 1 standing out of the Big 3, and that was a mindset he's never been in. It'll be interesting next season how he deals with this.

good move though I think it was made easier by the fact that there hasn't been a tournament played there since the Covid shutdown

Damn I thought Novak was vaccinated by now
Missing the Australian open

they can't let him play w/o vaccine as that sets off a chain of events nobody wants to deal with
