How Worried Are We For Novak?

[Ricardo]

according to l'Equipe, Nole had a right hand's surgery in Switzerland last week, no confirmation from Nole's team for the moment

Was Federer the doctor

Hand surgery? Doesn’t he have elbow problems? They operated on the wrong body part.

Well, he could be. He has at least qualified recently

 

[Andy22]

Well yes I am a little worried but I still think Djokovic can win two more slams, at AO.

 

[isabelle]

he confirmed that he had an elbow surgery, don"t know when we"ll see him back on court, soon I hope

 

[10isfan]

Wise decision. My guess is he could show up for the clay season.

He confirmed some procedure on the elbow, and there is talk that he had a surgery on his right had. (With photos of it bandaged.) I'm confused as to if he had two procedures. I'm guessing he won't be back for IW or Miami. Maybe clay season?

[Federberg]

seeing as he's had this injury and now rehabilitation, I personally am moving back the time to assess what Novak's slam future will look like. I had previously said that I would wait until at least after Wimbledon, now I'm writing off all of this year... I'm still biased towards him being done as a major force, but not yet willing to write him off completely

 

[isabelle]

I guess clay is the soonest come back, not before

 

[Andy22]

Well Djokovic might not win a major until Wimbledon next year. That give Nadal time to get even more of a gap over, Djokovic Like 7 or 8 slams. that would make it Impossible for to catch Nadal.

Bear in mind he's younger than Rafa. Out of curiousity, what happens if Federer wins Wimbledon and the USO this year, that would take him 6 ahead of Rafa. Would Rafa be able to catch Roger then?

Yes Rafael nadal could still catch, if Federer wins Wimbledon but its unlikely that he would win USO. last time Federer won USO 2008 Federer age seems to catch up at that time of the year. Also Djokovic is only a year younger than Nadal, but Djokovic does not have the FO to fall back on like Nadal. I would say That Nadal wins FO18 and then Wimbledon or USO Two slams just like last year.

we'll revisit at the end of the year...

 

[Andy22]

Djokovic despite attempt to be become Goat is over and now Djokovic has to bow down to the real goat Nadal.

Prepare to be disappointed, Roger isn't leaving this game without at least a 6th USO. And the real GOAT is Federer. Nadal is far behind as of now, you need to learn how to count...
