Don't agree. He's approaching 30. Once he loses his speed around the court he loses his edge

He is 26! That is 4 years (minimum) of being easily the favourite in 3 of the 4 Slams. The U.S. open will be the hardest for Novak. Only a matter of time before he gets a French.

Look at how fast Rafa has fallen. Novak is also a physical player. Once his legs go he will decline rapidly

Hes also the most athletic player of all time, with major weapons other than his running ability. And he is NEVER injured. His decline will be even more gradual than Federer's.

Jesus no idea...

Rafa has a different game plan and also has had bung knees since he was a teen. Big difference.
 
We can piss on each other all we want here, but at the end of the day one has the greatest grand slam record in history and the other is a flog, who will just be remembered as a very good player who won a few slams

Apart from the Australian open final and the Wimbledon final, how many tennis matches have you actually watched this year?

The only flog is you actually. Why not respect all of the top 4. I don't love Murray and for that matter Wawrinka but do I respect them, yes I do. Do I congratulate them yes. You can dislike someone without coming across as being ridiculous.

There is, but when Djokovic loses some speed he will fall back to the pack. That wont happen for a few years though. Who knows what players might come up in the next few years too
 
Even so that is peak for at least 3 more years. The only really good one coming through (Nick Kyrios) is a good 3 years away from Winning
One injury can ruin everything. At the end of the day even the most diehard Djokovic fanboys know that he will never pass Fed's slam record. Rafa's too.

Tennis peaks usually occur around 24/25 but can extend to about 29/30. I think Novak really needs to capitalise on his opportunities in 2016 because as history shows it's harder to win slams in your 30s and Novak will be 30 in 2017.

It will be interesting if competitition emerges or not. Will Nadal be rejuvenated? Can Federer sustain his ranking? Will someone like Raonic or Dimitrov finally stamp their authority and prove their worth? There's interesting times ahead for tennis.

Thank you! Djokovic's style of play is less sustainable into his 30's. Rafa has found this out earlier than expected. Novak will too.

I'm a bit sick of seeing fights between Federer fans, Djokovic fans and even Nadal fans. Why can't we just marvel in their talents and achievements as players?

Overall we've been spoilt by this golden era we're currently witnessing and we need to cherish it while it lasts.

Yep has 3 years at his peak which he should get 6 Slams (2 a year isn't that much considering apart from Murray, Fed/Rafa aren't as big a threat. I sort of hope he ends on 17 just so both can be regarded as being just as good

Forget Raonic he is no chance on any surface except the U.S. And he will need a good draw. I actually think Nisikori is the one that could with a good draw and injury free could stop Novak once or twice. As a Novak fan I was thrilled he didn't have to play him this year at Wimbledon.

Novak will win a few Slams in 2015-17. (Maybe 6 or so)
 
We both know he won't

You don't know. Everyone expected Dimitrov to burst through and win Slams but he is useless. There is a big gap between this generation and the Kyrios one which has a few potential Slam winners. The generation in the middle is hopeless
 
We both know he won't

You know deep down that Djokovic is a champion, like Nadal is and like Federer is. He is already amongst the greatest of all time, and he has the advantage of age and no injury concerns to really challenge their grand slam title records in years ahead. Just look at the gap between him and the rest on rankings points.

Youre in denial about this because youre favourite player lost today and Freo got found out to be much worse than you think they are.

Accept it and admit it.

You know it deep down.

Now piss off.
