When a crazy swineherd molested his pigs, the next year he got a lot of ugly piglets and he named them Justtennis, rajkumarstephen6, GarbineRafa and the ugliest one he named "2020", but, for some technical difficulties, he had to change his name to "COMING SOON 2022".
Mark my words he will do the same to Zverev, may even donate sets to him. He will tire him out mentally and wait for the big moments when Zverev will start pushing his forehand then he will raise his game and break Zverev's will in the process. He will do the same vs Daniil in the final.
Novak said that whenever he is in these positions he reminds hinself of what he went through as a kid; that reminder of what happened in Serbia when it was bombed by NATO. How him and his family hid in the attic and could hear guns being fired. How he overcame those fears.
When Novak is sitting and staring into thin air, you can tell that he's day dreaming.
Why the Youngs are not winning slams? Because Novak is stopping them. You remember the 20 match streak Danil was on till aus final right? He was blown off the court there with ease
Yes, and we know, and you do know he has won double what Fed won after 30, and 2 more than Rafa, since they all turned 30 ... which make him even a greater Goat and Sports Champ across all sports.
One can admire goats peaking in their mid and late 20's, but Novak has taken tennis to a new greatness, win or lose here at USO.
@bastion: Good joke. Nadal has 4 US Open titles. Recent ones being 2017 and 2019. Djokovic has 3 US Open titles. Zverev and Medvedev has 0 GS titles. Forget about US Open. That says a lot.
Comparing Zverev and Medvedev to Federer and Nadal is criminalism. Yes, they are out with surgery and injury. But they have beaten Djokovic in Slams. Nadal having 2-1 H2H against Novak in US Open. Just because they didn't meet after 2013 at the US Open doesn't change anything. Rafa and Roger has done well at the US Open compared to Novak.
When did Zverev or Medvedev best Novak in Slams. Forget about winning. When did they ever come close to winning in best of 5 against Novak?!
Don't make a mountain of a mole hill. This is Novak's Slam to lose.
Djokovic winning matches against these guys is inevitable. It takes too much effort for Djokovic to play 100% for the whole match and win in straights. It’s easier for him to play low intensity at around 60% then raise his game to 80% when he has to. He then draws them into a long game and makes them feel like they can come back in the set. They lose all their energy and they’re done by the 3rd and 4th set. He’s gonna do it twice more in this tournament after this watch
I know that I'm going to sleep now happy and someone will sleep with "the facts"! Lol....
If you try hard enough, your dreams might be .........dreamed! :)
Always a pleasure to talk with people who think that they are pushing the buttons, while they are falling apart!
@GarbageRafa : If you were the organiser of USO who would you put in the prime time slot? A man who is chasing record breaking 21 slams and the Grandslam after after 52 years or bunch of players who haven't won a slam yet? If this decision is too hard for you then I give up 😅
Rafa hasn't beaten Novak outside clay since 2013 US open. It's been 8 years. Rafa hasn't beaten Novak on grass or hard in 8 years. Let that sink in. Then talk about what Rafa would have done if he were here.
But, let's go back to tennis now.......Idemooooo
