What a game. I mean it was not very exciting to watch, but nole just showed everyone how it's done. Let's see if he can match Nadal's 17 GC this year!
I first mentioned this last year that Djokovic could be the player to surpass Nadal and Federer in Grand Slam titles won and right now my prediction is looking very good. If Nadal doesn't win the French Open this year then yes I believe Djokovic can match Nadal's 17 GS titles this year as if Djokovic can stay fit and healthy then he will be hard to beat at Wimbledon and the US Open. He may even win the French Open with the form he is in right now.
Exactly, we have been agreeing that Djokovic is that man that can match or even surpassed Federer in Grand Slam titles, and him winning the Australian Open is a step closer. Maybe this year he can tie Rafa's titles and then chase after Roger's in the next couple of years.
@Kemarit and I have been saying this for a while now about Djokovic as his form in the back end of last season looked like the Djokovic of old. He now becomes the outright Australia Open winner on 7 titles and also surpasses Pete Sampras on the all time GS winners. We are all very lucky to see the top 3 players all of time play at the same time and I'm not sure if we'll see this again.
We should not forget what happened to him last year. It was tough for him, physically and mentality. However, Djokovic overcame everything and we have may witnessed out of the greatest comeback in Tennis as well. We wouldn't have thought that we can overcome everything and win titles at the end of 2018 and continue to be dominant? A lot has been discounting him already, but he rise to the occasion and even surpasses everyone's expectation.
Keep it coming guys, it looks like this thread really did come alive as of late, and lot of tennis fans who are really knowledgeable and very well-informed.
