Djokovic Fans thread

[El Dude]

That was my least favorite moment in my career as a tennis fan (I didn't pay attention for several months after that, then covid hit). Thanks for the reminder, Fjaka.

Yes, yes, you are.

Novak Djokovic could have a Triple Career Golden Masters by the end of the summer | Tennis.com

No other player has ever completed a single Career Golden Masters, let alone a double... let alone a triple.

That would be an amazing achievement.

It’s been 8 years since he won Monte Carlo and there are a lot of excellent clay court players here, even without Alcaraz and Nadal.

Agree. I don't see him winning it this year. His level is just not there yet. Last several years it takes him time to start playing well on clay.

You were right! Out of the tournament at the hands of Musetti! WOW! t least he got past the 1st match in the 2nd Rd.

Tennis star Novak Djokovic may be the GOAT. So why do fans hate him?

Novak Djokovic is a flawed man, which he has proven on multiple occasions, but what athlete isn’t?

Good article for fans (and others).

Ditching defense: Finding new ways to describe Novak Djokovic | Tennis.com

Over his all-time great career, the Serb has altered the meaning of 'defense' in exquisite ways.

This article by Drucker frames Novak’s game nicely. Interesting read, pretty well thought out.

How does a kid that little, and never having really played, have that kind of form?? Thank you tented.

I moved a number of posts which weren’t in the spirit of a “Fans” thread to the Fedalovic Wars thread.

I totally forgot about this thread! I guess I proved I'm not as much a fan as some thought! That was some 2nd set in Cincy against Carlos! Novak is volleying out of his mind! I was one who didn't think it necessary to push to win this match! It's brutal out there! I guess it was worth the comeback to get to a 3rd set! We're off and running! - https://fiero4251.blogspot.com/2016/08/fan-page-novak-nole-djokovic.html -

Congrats to Novak (and Carlos) for a fantastic Cinci final. Now that he’s won his third, does this mean he will show up in Monte Carlo to see if he can make it three career golden masters? That would be crazy considering no other player even has one.

I mused about the same thing! I doubt Nole'll go out of his way to achieve a 3rd Gold Masters w/ it being the 1st clay event after Sunshine Dub!
