[@a.s1469]

​@@sonicmoj1Sinner would beat him when Djokovic was 22, but not he was 24

[@marcomonti9823]

Nole has the skills and experience to play at the highest level, definitely on par with Jannik and Carlos (or rather, they’re at Nole’s level!). But the reality is that his game isn't going to improve anymore, and he'll increasingly face minor or major injuries, lack of motivation, or off days... it’s inevitable. He’ll still have his moments of brilliance, but there’s a big gap between dominating an entire season and just winning a few big matches or tournaments

>Novak wont play that much longer >maybe until 2028 That is still insane to imagine Djokovic competing in 4 years, but he is so out of this world good that his age hardly matters against anybody aside from a few top guys 😂

[@fwvw7056]

His age will matter, big time. People do not realize still the drop between 37-40 is way steeper than 33-36. And why are we talking hypotheticals here: he broke down physically at the FO this year and how is this year going in total? Proof is already there.

[@princesofthepower3690]

@@fwvw7056I think people need to realise that Djokovic will find it difficult to compete with Sinner and Alcaraz if they have a good day, I think this will be more apparent next year. It took a poor 2nd set by sinner just to make it somewhat interesting towards the end yet Novak still couldn’t pull through in the end.

[@HeavyTopspin]

I could see him "retiring" on the ATP tour but staying active in Davis Cup, which would technically allow him to qualify. I could also see him going to the 2028 olympics as Serbia's coach.

[@jomoanderson5596]

Djokovic is in great shape like most of the guys on Tour. But in a Major, it’s the recovery over the two weeks for Djokovic to overcome that’ll be any older Player’s hurdle.

[@ExaltedXero]

This always happens when the passing of the torch happens, everyone is just in denial until it becomes reality. Joker can definitely have some chances just like roger when he won the AO but it's going to be pretty unlikely now. Give the young ones their respect, they've pretty much dominated this year and if Joker wins that'll be a great story but we can't be lying to ourselves and saying this old man is going to win. He's the GOAT but everyone has their time and for him it's soon, hopefully he's got a few more years but I feel like it'll be 2 years if he's lucky.

[@zazhou]

Big respect for a sane and objective view. Most commenters are either pro Djokovic or pro Sinner or pro Alcaraz or pro Nadal or pro Federer to a biased degree. I think Djokovic has one or two more grand slam wins in him if he keeps healthy and is given an easy draw and avoids Sinner and Alcaraz to the semi finals and finals. He is still top 3 player and ahead of the young chasing pack.

[@SkySushii]

I give Djokovic a good chance to grab one last AO and get to 25, for the other slams there's too many other threats (French is difficult, can't see him beating Alcaraz at Wimby) so the draw and everything else would all have to go his way. But this legend has proven us wrong many times before...

[@marconardelli5538]

It is incredible that for many many years, not a single new generation player was able to compete against the big 3 and now all of a sudden we have not 1 but 2 players that are on the route to play at big 3 levels, think about it, I think Djokovic is defintely capable of winning another slam, he's winning against anyone but Sinner and Alcaraz, if this two weren't there he would have probably won another 5 or 6 slams, he's still crazy good and this 2 guys are competing with him and now most of the time winning against him, so yeah, I agree that we have to respect this 2 guys, and big respect for Djokovic too, everytime they meet each other it is always a pleasure to watch

[@timetheory84]

If the top 2 or 3 are having this hard of a time beating Djokovic now, then that begs this question. Are they even on the same or better level that Djokovic was around 2018? I really don't think so.

[@ExaltedXero]

@@timetheory84 What are you even talking about, that's not even what the discussion is about. Don't bring up things that don't matter like hypotheticals. Joker is the GOAT that doesn't mean he's the best in the world right now. Please read the comment before writing.

@@carlosdias92 Where Djovokic is today, stamina and fatigue have a lower ceiling. Sinner’s ceiling is higher therefore Sinner has to drop lower than Djokovic for Djokovic to have the edge.

Novak is always dangerous as a tactician to anyone in the game. Sinner and Alcaraz just have the physical and athletic tools to get themselves out of trouble against his tactics unlike most of the ATP.

[@k.alvarado6237]

Agreed. They “out athlete” the tactics he uses

[@sawyer7191]

Yup and physicality is a big deal. Physicality is honestly what gives Alcaraz all his chances to win matches. If you can get to balls fast enough to set and your legs can handle it then you have more ability to hit your shot under control

[@riccardoaquilini6610]

Maybe there is some truth in that, but Sinner was never 100% against Alcaraz this year. I think it's more a matter of "Alcaraz is the only one that can consistently beat him if he's not 100%"

[@tijgertjekonijnwordopgegeten]

I don't really agree with Alcaraz having a favourable matchup against Sinner. If you look at all of their matches, Sinner used to beat Carlos when he was worse than Carlos. Almost all of their matches are really close and it's a few points that decide every match, to me individual brilliance moreso than matchup is why Carlos won Beijing.

Nick won’t comment on Rafa, but I will: I am a big fan of Rafa and it was great to see him on a tennis court again, but he is completely overmatched against these guys at this point. His movement is gone. Carlos took it easy on him as he did not want to embarrass him and it still was 3 and 3. There were at least 10 points where Carlos could have used his drop shot, but didn’t and hit it right back at Rafa. If Novak goes 100% it will be ugly. I hope,Rafa does not play singles at Davis Cup, but only doubles with Carlos as unfortunately he can’t compete with the top,guys especially on indoor hard courts which were never his strength even in his prime.

[@alonzobishop3671]

Novak is experiencing a huge dip in motivation, and why not… He has literally nothing to prove, and knows quite well that both Sinner and Alcaraz have eclipsed him. He is not coming back- he accomplished all that was left in the Olympics. The only chance he has going forward is if he meets either on an “off” day in a major… We are very close to his imminent retirement!

[@bots102]

Agree, after winning the Olympic he basically lost the fire and the motivation, and these two are the two most important aspect of Djokovic that gives his mental resilience. He also said that he wants to spend more time with his family so probably he didn't think about tennis or practice as much as before.

[@morhafbukhamsin1483]

You mistakenly mentioned that the final is on Sunday. Actually both matches Nadal vs Djokovic and Alcaraz vs Sinner are on Saturday

[@andreisimion1636]

Hard to say Sinner didn’t have a letdown in this exhibition. Seemed like he lost focus. I think the break point analysis is true but you have to see it in a “real” match. Also - bc Sinner did lose serve maybe this wakes him up for the next match. He will have the pain of this matching being close in the next match w Djokovic so tbd …

[@step_down-w2b]

at one point Sinner almost smashed his racquet. Never seen him like that.

@@deniss.6205 I never said. Reread my opinion properly. He is an old athlete and he knows that aging is not just a number but reaching the semis or finals will make him think he can still win the final match so it will keep him going, in my opinion, because he won't enter the game thinking he will lose in the semis or finals since he will play one game a time. Once he can't reach the semis, he will know it is time to retire because he can't even get to the semis. But for me, second to fourth place ain't bad for an old Novak since he is on his way out.

Again an out of touch analysis on Djokovic going forward. He won't play on until 2028. He won't have the level of play that he wants. I wouldn't be surprised if he retired after this year, certainly retires after 2025. Also 5 setters aren't a problem for Djokovic? What happened at Roland Garros this year? His knee literally got injured because of it, of all the grinding. There are no hypotheticals here: this year already proofs he is nearing the end. No shame in that also, I must add. But this denialism is getting annoying

[@eincan1313]

Novak played pretty well, but Sinner is just at another level. Yes Novak broke Sinner twice, but one break was a gift as Sinner was in control but couldn’t finish points with overheads. That is when he almost threw his racket. I think Novak has a Sinner-Alcarez problem as does the rest of the tour. But I believe there still will be days where Novak will have wins against them.

It's a delusional take indeed. In the year Novak was 36/37 years old he is 6-8 in the world for the year until now. Hasn't come close to winning something serious besides the olympics.

[@juancarlosjuancarlos4629]

@@fwvw7056Djokovic lost motivation after winning almost everything in 2023. He won the slam race in 2023, he won 3 slams, played 4 gs finals, won masters tournament and ATP final where he dominated both Alcaraz and Sinner. Media was pushing narrative that Djokovic is done and that Alcaraz is a new champion. It motivated Novak to prove them wrong. After beating Carlos in Roland Garros, Djokovic lost to Carlos in Wimbledon final for the first time in 7 years (162-160 points very even 5 setter). Than Djokovic won Cinncinatti masters by beating Carlos in final, he dominated him again in ATP final. Djokovic also destroyed Sinner in ATP finals final. Djokovic also beat Sinner in 2022 and 2023 Wimbledon finals. It was one of the best years in tennis history. Djokovic’s 2011 was crazy with 41-0 winning streak, 2016 was crazy with 16950 atp points but 2023 was in my opinion on very same level. Djokovic has family now and it took a lot of sacrifice to produce 2023 year. Calling Sinner and Alcaraz better than he ever was really pissed him off. So he decided to prove himself that he is still the best. He did it in 2023. so I knew that in 2024 it will be all about Olympics, because it was the only puzzle that he missed. Losing few times against Sinner will only help Djokovic to get motivated for 2025. I hope that he will not atp finals, because it will make him for hard for AO 2025. If he win 100th tournament atp atp finals and beat both Alcaraz and Sinner Djokovic will completely lose motivation

how can people say sinner / alcaraz level is higher than the big 3 when old djokovic is close or can beat current sinner/ alcaraz. Going forward I think Djokovics mental block against sinner is gone.

[@theprolightingindia]

What a naive commentary. Joker had BP this time only because Sinner served very poorly and made some poor errors. If Sinner had played his best, he would have closed it out in 2 sets. Sinner was clearly tired. Joker himself admitted that he got lucky in the TB to win it so easily. Also Joker lost to Popryn, Macha, so he can lose to other players as well. It depends on the day. And Alcaraz has stepped it up and he's going to be more consistent which will make Joker's life only more miserable. And if Joker has to face one of them in Semis and one of them in finals, then there's no way he's winning it. Not sure how draws work. He's been lucky this year with the draws also. Lets wait and watch for 2025. My prediction is, Joker will most likely not win another slam.

[@cliveburks]

Nadal played one match lost 6-3 6-3 took away £1.5 million okay he has a third place play off. The players eg Alcaraz complained about the schedule through the year then they play the Kings! Djokovic doesn’t play loads of tournaments so why not set your own schedule like he does.

And the players of ATP 150-1000 are all suffering and don´t know how to finance their livings...Much more impressive is, that Stan the Man still beating Top Players and now reached 1/4 finals in Stockholm. Normally, he often wins the first set and then lose in a 3 setter, because lack of physical power...

[@nayanmallick2809]

Why dint you talk about Rafa😢

[@Brauzeuge1516]

high tenis iq of advedev, but thought that alcaraz has best level and change to sinner. is bullshit. alcaraz on top has higher peak. all depends on the head. sinner seems to be more stable at the moment so he bring his 95% all the time

[@sergevanderpluijm]

I think you are a bit biased in favour of Djokovic. He is still very good and physically he is also good. But we can't say he's physically the same as he was 10 years ago. Even in 2023 where he won 3 slams, I felt like Djokovic already was declining physically. But mentally and tactically he was at his best in 2023. He will never beat both Sinner and Alcaraz in the same slam as he must do next year with the new rankings. Physically he will not be capable to play at this level for that many sets.

[@HeavyTopspin]

You're making an assumption that nobody else is capable of beating Sinner and Alcaraz so he'd be guaranteed to play them in the semis and finals. Yes, they are the two best, but there are other players out there who are capable of beating them on a good day.

[@sergevanderpluijm]

@@HeavyTopspin I’m not making assumptions, I’m stating that Djokovic will not beat both in the same slam ever again. I think you didn’t understand my comment.

Sinner looked possessed at some points, I mean his body language and face expressions. A bit weird.

[@angelomezzini7849]

Posseduto?hai visto l'esorcista lo ha spiegato lui stesso è fisicamente stanco hai visto quanti errori ha fatto non da lui

[@sudhanshusharma5083]

Just accept man...Djoker time is gone..He won Olympics bcoz Sinner WASNT THERE and alcaraz played 2 bad tie breakers..Don't you understand man...cmon

[@craigmarshall1980]

Listen when you say something changed with novak and he broke sinner here is the thing. Sinner development wise both phsyically and mentally gas not peaked yet. He is in an upward trajectory where as novak is heading towards 40. Next year sinner is a year older, wiser and stronger. Novak is not goi g to get much more experienced and he will go downwards health wise and especially his knees. I thi k you need to stop being so bias and call it out properly

[@annalax375]

there will come a time when Nole will win with Sinner. Something new is motivating him now😊

[@angelomezzini7849]

Piè inlusioni con tutto il rispetto per un grande come lui più facile possa farlo con alcaraz grande giocatore ma meno costante di sinner

[@beniwal.mayank]

Bro is still clutching the straws to defend his his statement “novak is future of tennis” 😅😅😅😅😅😅. The matter of fact is he was lucky that match gone into 3 sets ,he himself said in post match press conference. Novak is cooked accept it and move on

[@Skibbidyboobop]

Cooked? He just beat Alcaraz for gold in the Olympics. At his age, he more concerned with preserving himself for matches that count.

[@fwvw7056]

His deluded takes are getting annoying. "playing 5 sets matches isn't a problem for Djokovic". Mate, he wears a knee brace because he got basically killed in the two 5 setters at Roland Garros. In fact, chances are that he will skip the FO in 2025 if he plays on.

[@makeitlucid]

No tennis aficionado cares about sinner. His entire season is tainted. What’s actually important is justice for the other players. Ban coming soon, we people who care about integrity hope!

[@willzsportscards]

All sports show the same thing with aging...even if you're 'fit enough' to go, as you age, you become more erratic. Your floor is lower. You may reach your A game...but you reach it less often. Add in tennis the whole 2 weeks of best of 5 for mens in the slams...and let's get real...Novak isn't raising another trophy. 24 is enough lol.

[@Skibbidyboobop]

Rafa at 36-37 raised two slam trophies.

[@smnoor59]

Nikola… be a sport man, your favouritism towards Djokovic is overwhelming you. Be professional man… stop this bias review.

[@whatevergoesforme5129]

Look, I like Novak and I have no issues with all tennis greats, past and present. but saying that aging doesn't take its toll eventually is just one big denial. Yes, Novak's health is not yet shot like Nadal's given that he is very careful of his diet and not wanting an untested jab that affected the heart and blood of other athletes despite the nothing to see here attitude of the MSM and the so-called health experts and government officials. But mark my words, his body is aging and not because he is still playing good tennis, his body is the same as when he was at his prime. Let us just respect the fighting spirit of Novak as long as he is willing to play and we will have to face the inevitability of his future retirement. By that time, Novak will be surely missed.

[@whatevergoesforme5129]

Oh and the fact that Novak can still go against top players so much younger than he is is a testament of how great he is at his age now, win or lose. Let us see if Sinner and Alcaraz can do the same when they reach Novak's age now. That is why I factor in the age of each player because for me aging is not just a number.

[@sawyer7191]

Agreed!

[@brendajohnson5525]

Perplexed that you ignore Rafa and Alcaraz as if they were not there. It may be personal to you but they exist.

[@trakkadda]

That wasn't even a match, Alcaraz was gracious but today is a first round match.

[@philippenonet9166]

Congratulations to all these players to play in this nice democracy... They have no ethics.

[@sudhanshusharma5083]

When Djoker was sinner age, both Nadal and fed used to beat him easily ...check djoker earlier career record...useless analysis

[@24tomorrow]

Ridiculous prize money for an exhibition event I have to say. $1.5 million just to show up? Money well spent 😄 And it's kinda funny that Rune is still considered a top new gen player, when let's face it, he's just average if compared to Alcaraz & Sinner

[@johnbenevoli2066]

HE HASN'T FULLY TAPPED INTO HIS TALENT. HE'S A BUDDING NADAL AND NEEDS TO FIND A COACH THAT CAN HELP BLOSSOM HIS GAME. IT WILL HAPPEN THOUGH!
