He'll bodybag the serve bot in tiebreaks

His serve's kind of gone already as well.

Djokovic is definitely/without doubt GOAT tier, but back from 2010-2014 when the big 3 + Murray were all close to their prime, he was 6-6 in GS finals:

2010: L v Nadal
2011: W v Murray
2011: W v Nadal
2011: W v Nadal
2012: W v Nadal
2012: L v Nadal
2012: L v Murray
2013: W v Murray
2013: L v Murray
2013: L v Nadal
2014: L v Nadal
2014: W v Federer

Servebot choked both tiebreaks. Can’t win with that kind of weak mentality against a dog like Djoko.

Nole might end up on something crazy like 27 Grand Slams! History won't be kind to Nadal and Federer in that case. Djokovic has no competition rn.

27?

Try 30+

He'll be at 25 in September already

We were alive and interested in the sport in this era so we can micro-analyse the reasons for this but the next generation won't know this.


History will be much kinder to Nole because he has all the factual achievements and records in Tennis.


The biggest thing Nole's domination in this period does is dramatically diminshes the greatness and legend of Federer and Nadal and I am not exaggerating.


This is why longevity is even more important in Tennis. It gives you the opportunity and the window of weak competition to dominate. Djokovic lasted this long and kept himself fit to pounce on the moment the other 2 decline and statpad Grand Slams for fun. Not saying he didn't win stuff when the other 2 were around; Djokovic is unbelievably good without any doubt.



Given his insane fitness regime, I can't see him stopping anytime soon.

Bit rich to call the guy a servebot. Roddick won titles on that element alone

That said I couldnt tell you anything about this dude. Seen him play like twice

 

[Horatio]

Just got home from playing tennis. Started at 19:30 played till 23:15. Got too dark otherwise would have been tempted to go longer. Got to get up early tomorrow. siu.

Clay ain't his court

[Temptation]

The most entertaining game ever.

Brown the GOAT!!! Seriously, the sport needs more players like this. Absolute Popcorn stuff.
