    i think it was more like 03 to 05 that Fed had literally no competition but don't forget that he was only in his early 20's then and you cannot hold the competition against him, it's not his fault the men's game lacked superstars then. then Rafa came on the scene and took him out
    in the 05 french, and a rivalry was born. don't forget that rafa made the wimbledon finals from 06-08 and the 06/07 matches were not blowouts for fed.

    fed 20 slams
    rafa 17
    djokovic 13

    when djokovic gets to 16, call me. until then, all of his backers please tone it down about him becoming the GOAT because right now he is a DISTANT THIRD in that discussion

      Their semifinal was best tennis I’ve seen in quite some time.

        I agree, tremendous match.. You had to come up with couple great shots to win a point.. I have so much respect for Rafa too even though I was never his man.. He is real athlete and competes for everything... wow...

          Agree he is third and slams are really first measure when it comes to greatness in tennis..especially men tennis.. but all of his masters, streaks and so on.. I am Serbian and his huge fan and it will take a lot for me to put him in front of Fed..Rafa maybe.. I am just enjoying his return now ....

            The guy is completely different gravy to all bar Fed on most surfaces. He will more than likely have many years of tennis left at full fitness. Which means he'll school most of the field and then face a much weaker group at the top of the game.

            On clay he's the best if he outlasts Rafa, which he likely will.

            Novak will reign again at the very top of the game collecting more grand slam trophies. Give the man the time he rightfully deserves imo. You can't rush a comeback from injuries when we're talking about Pro tennis.

            He has nothing to prove. Has beaten the best, when the best was at the top of their games.

            With all the yoga and meditation he has practiced throughout the years I'm sure he's plenty wise enough and in touch with his body enough to make the right calls here. In the mean time he has a family and plenty of high quality distractions.

            *Edit. We could go backhands next? Nah it's not like they're the best the game has ever seen.

                        I was just screwing around. Was this thread made before all those? This the 1st time around I saw it, and yea I played joker (nothing to do with the thread, I don’t really fade anyone other than seaweed! Lol)..

                          What a typical epic fkn SBR thread

                          Every clueless fkn mush betting loser in here hammered away and Joker wins a major before the fkn year's even over.
                          Guys like Homie and 5th shift beanpicker JJ should be auto-faded at all times whenever they try and preach knowledge.

                          If you just tuned into this thread, it's worth it to scroll back.

                            Hahahahah

                            That is all.

                            He's even favored with Fed at +300 to win the US Open.

                            Nadal is +450.

                            This site is hilarious.

                              congrats to the last two posters being NOWHERE TO BE FOUND prior to djokovic winning wimbledon last sunday.

                              and you wonder why those of us in "regular society" make fun of degenerate gamblers.

                                No I'm just not on this site 24/7, posting in everything. First time I saw this and I thought the title was hilarious especially the first couple posts talking about how he cheated and hes done like Tiger blah blah blah.

                                Btw - Tiger looks back as well. Want to start a thread about him as well?

                                    The op is a 'content creator' not a pro bettor. Give him a break.

                                    These types take lakerboy-like shots three times a week to 'initiate discussion' and 'draw readership' and will take full credit if their wild prediction gets there (or in case with this thread is still alive after some weeks or months) but hope to sweep it under the rug if their alternative reality couldn't be farther from what actually happens. Which is a lot more often than otherwise.

                                        this is pure comedy. guys who were NOWHERE TO BE FOUND in this thread the last 5 months since inception, are now coming in all of a sudden after Joker finally wins his first slam since France 2016, and declaring some of us idiots, and they are smart.

                                        you have got to love broke degenerates.

                                        too funny !!

                                            Never saw this 5 months ago and never said we are smart or you're an idiot.

                                            Just saying this thread and it's prediction is pure comedy especially after Djok came back stronger than ever and is no even favored to win the next.

                                            The prediction wasnt just slightly wrong. It couldn't be more wrong.

                                            Let's just hope you weren't betting against him or you'd be the broke degen haha. Your strong anger is making me think that might be the case oops.

                                            Bol to you all. Cheers to Djok taking down the US Open. Going to lay some money on him to hoist it after this thread. You jinxed him into winning with style.

                                                Just saying this thread and it's prediction is pure comedy especially after Djok came back stronger than ever and is no even favored to win the next.

                                                The prediction wasnt just slightly wrong. It couldn't be more wrong.

                                                Let's just hope you weren't betting against him or you'd be the broke degen haha. Your strong anger is making me think that might be the case oops.

                                                Bol to you all. Cheers to Djok taking down the US Open. Going to lay some money on him to hoist it after this thread. You jinxed him into winning with style.
                                                i predicted early on in the thread that he would win One more, to land at 13 slams total and then he is done.

                                                so far he is right at 13.

                                                if he wins the US Open to get to 14 slams, i will be one of the first ones back in this thread eating Crow like a man. trust me.

                                                  I would go for djoko to win anything now. He seems to be back

                                                          Joker played lights fukkin out last night.

                                                          I don't understand why the fans don't like the guy, it doesn't make much sense imo. He has been my favorite player for the past 8 years. The only gripe I have is he complains a bit too much about stupid shit to the judges/media. I have way more fun watching him play than Fed or Rafa.

                                                          I did come away from last night as a fan of Millman, has a lot of heart and is fun to watch.

                                                            One of the most unlikable tennis players I've seen in the 35 years I've followed tennis. Terrible facial expressions, lots of hitching, and then there were the primal screams and ripping off his shirt after wins at a slam that happened in 2011 and 2015.

                                                            About 10 years ago he was probably the most disliked player in the locker room for all of the reasons stated above. And no it's not because players were jealous. Those same players revered fed and rafa and still do.
