[@lexl2357]

Djokovic has never been the most aesthetically pleasing to watch, he has no real weapons to speak of, it really is amazing how he has done it. He has different plans for different opponents, he senses really quickly during a match what needs to be adjusted and adjusts accordingly and instantly. He was on the ropes the entire match against Shapovalov yet finds a way to win, how he won that match is mind boggling. Shapovalov was in tears because he knew he should have won, he would have destroyed any other player that day. There is an artistry to what Djokovic is doing maybe even supernatural. His mind is intense yet free, he desires nothing for free, if he wants it he will work like hell to get it. Love him or hate him he will go down as the greatest of all time and his record will stand forever. Unlike most other tennis players who were born with silver spoons in their mouths, he came from a family with very modest means. He is disliked by the tennis elite because he is from Serbia. If he was from the UK, US, Australia, Switzerland, France or Spain the tennis elite would be fawning over him. He is an awesome inspiration and example to anyone that anything can be achieved. I really am lost for words and completely dumbfounded when it comes to Djokovic, forget about going down as the GOAT of tennis, he could well go down as a top 10 sportsman of all time.

[@adaobieistypingg]

He psychologically passively destroys opponents and worse of all .. in silence. He was silent the whole time as shapo hit his multiple winners and watched in silence as shapo self destructed. It’s almost like he wasn’t even on the court he wasn’t in his own body and was a guest in the crowd just staring at shapovalov until shapo felt a weight on his shoulders. Ugly game yes but supernaturally unbeatable. I believe Novak’s belief in god helps idk how to explain but he leaves it up to a higher being to carry him through and only plays lights out against nadal he doesn’t really have to be present for anyone else
