Djokovic walks it

Pretty comfortable

We have 3 on 20

Federer is finished. All down to Nadal.

Possible Golden slam with the Olympics although not sure it would be official as it was delayed from last year.

Stefi Graff the only player to have ever achieved it.

Don't think Novak played particularly well today but he's a machine, a truly wonderful athlete.
I'm sure he'll end up on 25+ slams by the time he's finished provided he stays fit of course.

They will say it is Djokovic antics or him tapping the ball to many times before he serves or his box celebrating too much or him first pumping or whatever other nonsense they can concoct but here is the cold hard truth:

A lot of people who think life is a Disney film are upset that Djokovic interfered with the Fedal rivalry. They had this nicely crafted story all set up where it would be 2 GOATS going at it to see who could be the greatest ever, kinda like the Messi Vs Ronaldo crap.

Classy elegant Swiss Rolex man vs Fiery Spanish Raw Athlete

Then this lanky guy who looks like a medieval peasant comes along and shits on both of them.

It’s not that he’s not a good player, obviously one of the greatest, but he’s not a likeable character and for me his tennis is the most boring of the current big 3.

My main gripe is he fakes injuries as a form of gamesmanship.

Besides that he's more defensive than Federer and Nadal and has by far the least aesthetic style of the three.

I don't dislike him for his style but I definitely prefer Roger and Rafa's game so it's only natural I like them more.

Shout out to him for being anti-vax though.
