Oga stop this.I looked for you yesterday.djokovic is actually the greatest ever

Followed Djokovic for quite some time and what an example he has been for professionalism.He without any doubt will have the highest number of grandslam titles whatever is d outcome of Sundays game.We can borrow a lot from his ultra competitiveness and tenacity.Dude is just a top athlete.A true champion

OneCorner:
All these boring games sha

baba tennis is far from boring

Can u imagine village people saying, 'no way!' to your prayers?

Leave Novak jareh....very cocky!
Roger just Bleep up in the past.

I have been following the Greek for years.... #IStandOnTsitsipas.

I love my girl Naomi Osaka .. she made me cheat on serena williams

boss, Federer is past his best and age could be a factor also. You can't compare a 40 year old sportsman to a 33/34 . Haba

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

lexxxino:
I remember seeing 13 odds on dat guy.........

Nobody will ever go for Djokovic in French open.
Nadal is d king of clay, check his records for d past 15 years

Elchechereche2:
Stefano's tsitsipas has suddenly turned into a beast on clay.Watched him destroy Danill like a kid

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.

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.

Not a fan of Djokovic, Nadal is my man, but truth be told Djokovic is a very solid tennis player.

LushGreenz:
I don't like Novak one bit.
But I respect his tenacity on the court.

I pray Tsitsipas wins instead.

Why? I don't understand the dislike for novak

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..

frankson1:




Novak is having a field day because my man, Roger Federer is almost 40yrs but he's a great player too. I don't have issues with him winning, I didn't want Nadal to win.

Novak is not having a field day cos Nadal is old. Novak is a great player. Full stop. He will beat a younger federer on clay.

If there is any court to beat Novad in the final by the new generation tennis players...it is here in France..

As in Federer took so much for granted.

So much, he would have won much more when he was ultra-dominant. I prefer Novak to Nadal too, but abeg Slippers should win biko. It is already a crazy COVID-19 year.

Ficient:


I didn't like him for a long time too, but he has earned my respect also which is turning to admiration

Why didn't you like him?

Jokerman:
Novak is losing the finals

He won't

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

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.

Paxxcarl:
Djokovic is the new god of tennis
I remember wen it was roger federer raking the grand slams
Then rafael nadal dominated afterwards

Moral lesson; life na turn by turn

Agassi was the big deal before Federer, it’s just succession, no one last forever

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

No wahala... Let's wait for the finals

I was pained Nadal lost. I really wanted him to win.
I hope Tsitsipas go on to win but that would be near impossible.

stayclearofme:

It seems you don't know that Tsitsipas is a clay court specialist like Nadal. Clay is not even Novak best surface. Novak might win but I am not sure of him whipping him silly, it will be a though match and don't forget the word 'upset'.

just wait till sunday.
Novak is simply a beast. Nadal is the biggest challenge for any player in the french open.

unmask:
I never expected a Djoker win

But am I ecstatic he won.....we meuve

Watched that 3rd set twice already.

Best match since Djoker vs Federer at Wimbledon

Bro...Please Is there a place I can download that 3rd set?..

Righteousness2:
This is Fantastic!
Clay has been Nadal's Fotress for a long time.
Impossible is nothing..
Congratulations to the Serbian

Yes Brother, that's why he's called the The king of clay

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

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.

CooKeed:


Why didn't you like him?

Nadal is my favorite, and I was enjoying the rivalry with Federer. This guy just comes from nowhere with his expressionless face

Novac my guy! Time to go for that 19th grand slam title.

Thank you Djoko for stopping that muscle bound spainard from surpassing my GOAT's record
