Hopefully Djokovic is able to play another 3-4 years cause this rivalry that we’re seeing from these two is getting good. Hasn’t been a rivalry lately, it’s been Carlos winning lol. Novak winning today would be special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seminoles1 Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 Do you guys think players consider the Olympics on par with Slams? Or a little lesser? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agarcia34 Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 I think it comes down to the type of player you’re are. If you’re Carlos and Djokovic or a top 10 player. I think you look at as an equal. If you’re not I think you look at it as a lesser event as we seen tons of players just decided to not play in it and go play in Atlanta in a 250 tournament. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agarcia34 Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 (edited) Incredible 1st set. 1 hour and 34 minute 1st set. That was phenomenal to watch. Edited August 4 by agarcia34 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point I think Novak has the Olympics higher than any slam. Winning Gold is the only thing he hasn’t done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winning Gold is the only thing he hasn’t done. It'd be wild if neither Federer nor Djokovic end up winning a singles Gold medal. I think you're right, though. Gold had been his #1 goal this year. 36 minutes ago, agarcia34 said: I think it comes down to the type of player you’re are. If you’re Carlos and Djokovic or a top 10 player.

That's what threw me a little. I wonder how much of that was people not wanting to switch back to clay vs. not taking it as seriously. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seminoles1 Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 Novak is dialed in. So solid today. Holding all those break points in the 1st was so freaking rock solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t think of that. Especially going from grass to clay then back to hard courts for the North America swing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seminoles1 Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 And the GOAT completes his trophy case. This man is unreal. I want him to get to 25 Slams so he can knock off that bigot with 24. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only argument you can make for anyone else is the multi-year dominant run Federer had that Djokovic didn't, but Djokovic just overwhelms him in every other part of the argument.

DirtyDez Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 Djokovic might have 40 majors if his career didn’t coincide with the 2nd and 3rd best players of all time. It’s crazy that some ppl will actually use this era against him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
