miqos02: Age isn't d issue! Nadal is 34 or 35 years nd he's beating d younger one at slams anytime. The only person dat can beat Nadal at french open is Djokovic. Nadal has been beating Federer for the past 15-20 years at french open, is that one age factor also? Djokovic will be 32 or so, nd he does beat any of the younger generations anytime in grand slam. I could still remember when Djokovic started, he said he doesn't have d strength to stay longer on d court. I think to stay longer on a grand slam for over 4 hours should favour d younger generation, but they can't still beat d older guys in slam. Djokovic is just better than Federer on a grand slam stage now nd d last time Federer defeated Djokovic in a grand slam was in 2017 or so. Djokovic nd Nadal know how to play Federer in a grand slam 4 Likes |

Elchechereche2: Tsitsipas is very good, but in a grand slam final it takes more than that. It was even a surprised that Danill went this far in French open. Djokovic is too smart for Tsitsipas. I'm not sure d younger generations are ready yet bcuz Djokovic has always been d one beat on their part. It's easier to beat Nadal nd Federer in a grand slam final than to beat Djokovic except French open which is the hardest to beat king of clay. 3 Likes |

fergie001: True,federer gave room for all these.when he was at the peak,he should have been more ruthless and extended his grandslam lead but failed to.I prefer djokovic to nadal abeg.he used to be a perennial failure like Murray till he stepped up. 2 Likes |

Tobechuckwu: The match won't be easy either...There is this thing that goes for Djokovic and Tsitsipas...the incredible energy they develop as games enters crucial moments like 4 set or 5 sets...Tsitsipas plays almost like Roger Federer...the back hand slices are top notch making it difficult for you to hit him well with fore hand... The game will be mouth watering...can't wait.. 2 Likes |

CilicMarin: Djokovic has tamed Federer with his back hand slices so Tsitsipas won't be a problem. Nadal was d main issue all this while, to beat d king of clay on clay is extremely difficult, but that has been solved. Tsitsipas is very good, but I don't give him a chance against Djokovic. It might even be a 3 straight set win for Djokovic 1 Like |

Tobechuckwu: Age may not be much of an issue when you're 32. But when you're 40, it is something. Look at Serena. Having said that, Novak is a great player. Even if all three of them were the same age, he would still win grand slams. 2 Likes |

CooKeed: I think that is d mistake most pple are having. Serena didn't lose bcuz of age , but she's playing better players in the final. Serena has been to 3 or more grand slam finals lately,if it's all about age she wouldn't been that far. Serena own is pressure to break records. She's still d best , but d pressure to break records has been d problem. But for Federer, if it's age d younger generation should be able to stay longer on a grand slam court than d older guys. Federer is very good, but someone will still break d records. Djokovic has broken all d ATP 1000 nd 500 records, remaining d grand slams records. Djokovic will definitely be d GOAT if he breaks d grand slam record 1 Like |

Djokovic is 34 years and Nadal is 35 years.. those saying Djokovic is 32 dont know tennis. For those saying Djokovic has the highest number of ATP 1000 winners is also wrong. NADAL tied with Djokovic when he won Rome Masters... People just comment crap these days |
Re: Djokovic Defeats 13-time Champion Nadal In 'greatest' French Open Display by CooKeed(m): 10:03am On Jun 12, 2021 |
Tobechuckwu: I agree that the pressure is probably part of it. I mean, she lost 4 grand slam finals almost back to back. But the last time she got to a grand slam final was 2019. Her movement and stamina have obviously suffered with age, which is natural. For a sportsman playing an intensely physical sport even 35 is old. You simply cannot have the stamina of your younger self. What the older guys have is experience. Tennis relies a lot on muscle memory. You just get to a level when your shots are almost automatic. Even Serena admitted that it's thanks to sports technology and better nutrition that players can play well into their 30s these days. The record for oldest grand slam win was at age 37. And that was in 1972! I still root for Serena to equal and perhaps surpass that record she's chasing, but I must admit the chances get slimmer as the days go by. Novak will definitely break Federer's record. He's just 34 and is good on all surfaces, so he still has a few slams left in him. 2 Likes |
