As a big Federer fan, there is no way he is returning and making past round of 16. Just not possible, sorry. He has been out the game way too long and he's old now. Even a beast athlete like Nadal is running out of gas.

Djokovic would already have 23 GS if the authorities at Aus and US didn't....

I was joking. His career is over.

If Djokovic hadn't sabotaged himself with the US Open 2020 DQ and Aus and US open non participations, he'd already be at 24.

And win another 5-6. Nadal has the highest/most unbeatable peak on a single surface, but taking all records into consideration, Djokovic is clear cut GOAT.

Federer, unfortunately, holds no relevant records anymore. His main argument is aesthetics but his poor H2H v Nadal and Djokovic in GS really hurts his case (4-10 v Nadal, 6-11 v Djokovic)

No doubt, I hope he is back for Aus Open.

I mean just keeps Novax fresher and more motivated

Plus he had no side effects from the Vaccine and complete natural immunity to Covid.

Honestly the others don't stand a chance and I like Nadal

The new generation is so boring that even a guy who clowns around and doesn't take the sport seriously(Nick) is more exciting than the big players of the young generation

 

[Richard.H]

It's 1 am in New York and Cilic vs Alcaraz match has barely gotten into 4th set

 

[KingLeo10]

My favorite player to watch was Stanimal, though. When he was on (and it was usually v Djokovic), he rained hell along both wings, especially the backhand.

Also Del Potro.

The new generation is trash.

 

[Temptation]

Those Stanimal backhands! I think I have never seen peak Djokovic struggle that badly against any other opponent ever. Stan was a winner machine in that lil period.

About the Argentine, like I have said before one of my favourite players to watch. His power forehands were fucking insane. A freak of nature. Injuries fucked his career.

Previous generation also had bonafide entertainers like Gael Monfils and Dustin Brown.

Murray was extremely complete as a player and had the best backhand back in the day. Again, injuries....

David Ferrer underrated clay court specialist. But like all clay court guys boring to watch.

We had a great mix on tour in that era.

How did he sabotaged himself?

 

[Temptation]

That US Open Disqualification was an absolute joke.

Just goes to support my point that some absolute morons are steering the ship in the US and Aus Open. Biased wankers.

 

[KingLeo10]

Throwing tempter tantrums is self sabotage. The US Open lady oversold the hit no doubt, but a top athlete like Djokovic should know better than to smash racquets and hurl tennis balls around. I think a couple of months ago, a racquet smash barely missed the eye of a ballboy/girl or something.

That's textbook self sabotage.

 

[Horatio]

crap. I have started playing tennis myself since a few months today watched King Richard and fell in love with the Williams' sisters. 20 years too late I guess....
