However, I would still say that Djokovic is the best, he has had lot of success so far, decline in performance is very normal because his age also affects him, but being runner-up is not bad thing either.

There is no single GOAT in tennis. There are multiple like Djokovic, Fed, Nadal etc. It was amazing to see Djokovic reach the final though right after his knee surgery.

Yes, there are many great tennis players, but isn't it clear that Djokovic has had all his success so far and Djokovic is also one of the tennis players that I think is the most favorite.
All the tennis players you mentioned are the best but I have different assumption depending on Djokovic because I admire his confidence and playing quality which is still quite good even at his current age.
Even though the final only made him runner-up, I very happy about all this, on the other hand Alcaraz also has lot of respect for Djokovic which indirectly made everyone happy with the final match few days ago.
Moreover, Djokovic has also won 24 grand slam titles, and 7 of them were at Wimbledon, if the final is Djokovic victory then we could see him truly equal Roger Federer record.

The 2024 season is gradually becoming more difficult for Djokovic than ever. The Serbian tennis player has yet to win any title this year. Djokovic was very close to winning the Wimbledon championship when entering the final. Unfortunately, this player lost to Carlos Alcaraz. During his career, he won every title but lacked the Olympic gold medal. If he wins, it will be a big boost for Djokovic before the 2024 US Open. It will be interesting to see Djokovic face Alcaraz, or Sinner, in Paris and see how the Serbian does.

Not having a coach is seriously affecting Novak Djokovic. With outstanding progress recently, Alcaraz and Sinner are surpassing Djokovic to become the number one candidate in every tournament they attend. At the age of 37, Djokovic is still playing at the highest level which is admirable. But if the current situation without a coach continues, it will be even more difficult for Djokovic. Therefore, Djokovic has little chance of regaining Jannier Sinner's ATP number one position, and Djokovic is even at risk of losing third place to Carlos Alcaraz.

We had the discussion about who was the one GOAT and most people agree
that Federer holds that title but what is remarkable is the timeframe of having
3 outstanding players dominate the sport over the same length of time. Others
would argue for each of the 3 being the GOAT based on various stats.

For instance between the 3:

Overall titles: 1st Federer 111 / 2nd Nadal 103 / 3rd Djokovic 99

Singles titles: 1st Federer 103 / 2nd Djokovic 98 / 3rd Nadal 93

Grand Slams: 1st Djokovic 24 / 2nd Nadal 22 / 3rd Federer 20

One of those GOATS - Nadal is in the final of Bastad to meet first time finalist
Borges. Nadal also cancelled his doubles match with Ruud.

Yes I remember spotting Tom Cruise at Wimbledon this year.

Couple of interesting matches today on the ATP, the two most important IMO both
involve Nadal!

Bastad Sweden:

Nadal v Ajdukovic in one of the semi finals
Nadal/Ruud v Lud/Matos (3rd seeds) in one of the semi finals.

I'm going to back Rafa to win in some way in his singles match, trying to figure
if he will do it in 2 or 3 sets?

Hamburg:

Zverev v Martinez in one of the semi finals, He's top seed and I think he can go all
the way.

Gstaad Switzerland:

Tsitsipas v Berrettini - has the make up to be a great match, I'm this goes all the way,
Tsitsioas should win this with a atruggle.

No doubt he is already a tennis star and will grow both in terms of performances, grand slams and in finances too Wink

By the way, this man was also witness in the crowd at the Wimbledon finals and he is well known in his own field.

I do not think that Djokovic would be able to get another major title unless Spanish play Carlos Alcaraz is there in the contest. Novak Djokovic is 37 years old and you need to have fresh blood in order to compete in tennis especially if you're opponent is Alcaraz.

Nah. I feel that he will win a few more big titles at least before retiring officially though since his last win was not long ago(US Open 2023). I don't think he will win another grand slam though primarily thanks to Sinner and Alcaraz.

I cant see it, with how strong Alcaraz is and how talented both Alcaraz and Sinner are they are building
their shot making, strength and fitness and mental ability, Djokovic is in maintenance mode and some
repair work from injuries and that will only increase, I would be very surprised if he does.

I cannot say if Alcaraz will win most grand slams in coming years but he is the highest paying tennis player aleady. His estimated earnigs are around $45 million per annum.

Well deserved. Those figures are crazy to think about, but what's even crazier is the fact that the final between Djokovic and Alcaraz charged the most expensive tickets in sports history.

That is unreal earning, he is set to become the top earner of the game of all time I would imagine.

Hamburg

Zverev under pressure a little bit ATM against Gaston, he lost the first set but has broken Gaston in the second.
top seed should be getting to the final.

Swedish Open

Nadal through to the Quarter finals, I was going to bet on a Nadal win @ 1.53 but was unsure . . .

Ruud baten by Montiero today, 6-3, 6-3 - big upset

Both Nadal and Ruud are in the Doubles semi final though!

This means that he could potentially win more grand slams than anyone in history, not because he is better than anyone in history, but he is both great and also have no rivals, which makes it easier for him to keep winning all the time.

I actually predicted the dawn of Djokovic this season. Too lazy to look for my older posts to prove it. Tongue

But yeah, I was even surprised to see 37yo Serb in the final. He got an easy draw: Rune is not in his best condition, Musetti was clearly mentally not ready to face Nole and I'm not even mentioning the first two rounds... So in a way, he should be happy he was able to reach another GS final.

P.S. I wonder if they're checking if he's clean. Did you notice him taking that pill in the 3rd set? Roll Eyes

The joker is always in a good place in my mind. He is really a fantastic player, maybe a bit controversial?, but that's based on the Australian media.

I don't know, based on the tennis itself, he is a solid player and I think he should win a couple of more titles before he retires.

at this point, it is natural that Djoko-era is going to the end... even if there are just few players able to challenge the Spaniard, this could be pretty interesting for gamblers and a potential advantage for live bets.

Ah I'd say everyone is checked these days 🤔

I agree with you serveria, I cant see him winning any more grand slams, the injuries
are starting for him.

Stan Wawrinka was playing in the Swiss open yesterday and got beaten by Lukas
Klein, its just not happening for the old guard, another example for Stan.

So a couple of tournaments on the go this week:
Swiss Open - Tsitsipas seeded 1

Hamburg European Open - Zverev seeded 1

Sweden Open - Rublev seeded 1 - Rublev has been suffering of late and will have
Ruud to deal with at some stage. Nadal also in the mix here and plays Norrie next.
Ruud/Nadal are also in the Quarter finals of the doubles..

The scarier thing about Alcazar is that it looks like he doesn't really have any opponent, not a major one. All the people we have seen so far, like Federer was alone for a brief moment before Nadal showed up, and then when Djokovic showed up they had the other two a bit, Nadal for sure, Djokovic stayed alone for just a brief moment, not many years. Whereas, we are looking Alcazar and he doesn't have any big opponents for now, maybe in the future there will be someone better, but not right now.

This means that he could potentially win more grand slams than anyone in history, not because he is better than anyone in history, but he is both great and also have no rivals, which makes it easier for him to keep winning all the time.

Sinner could be the only one in the short term who could post a threat to Alcaraz but he needs to
add something to his game, I dont know what that is because he has already got a quite good game.

But yea Alcaraz does look like he can hoover up a lot of GS going forward. He has 2 out of 3 so far
with the US open up next later in the year. Hard court same as the AO where he was beaten in
the quarter final by Zverev and Sinner took the title.

We also need to leave room for a debate on how some other hopefulls progress, players like Shelton
and Rune, maybe there is time for them to make a claim on top spots and challenge Sinner and Alcaraz
on a regular basis - medium to long term.

I did expect Alcaraz to win, but it watching him decimate the great man across 3 sets was seriously something else. Djokovic commited so many unforced errors which swung the momentum in Alcaraz's favor who was on fire.

As a very big fan of Djokovic, I would have been very happy to see him win a Grand Slam one last time, because I believe that was his last chance. We saw today how much difference age makes, because a Djoko in his Prime would not have lost so easily. Nevertheless, I have to praise Alcarez, he played very hard and deserved the victory. The players from the new generation are simply physically fitter than Djoko and only for this reason he has a hard time, otherwise Djoko is still mentally and technically one of the best.

Performance of the two was different because Djokovic himself was also much older than Alcaraz, but this was truly impressive match because Djokovic in the last set had shown how well he could give his best and keep up with Alcaraz.
In the end, in the three sets we saw how Alcaraz beat Djokovic absolutely, not as expected but I satisfied with this even though I had to give up defeat.

A sad moment for Djokovic fans but to be honest it was Alcaraz fitness that helped him win this title today. I placed a bet on Djokovic and lost it. I knew that Alcaraz have more chances to win but it was my love with Djokovic that i bet on him.

The game was totally in control of Alcarez and not at any point it looked that Djokovic could come back. By the way, in the 3rd game Alcarez had three Championship points but he failed to take it. At that point, there was a minor belief that Djokovic could come back in the game but still, he lost the third set (which proved to be the last set) by 7-5.

And my prediction of at least 4 sets didnt happen either. I only saw the first 2 sets
and In the 3rd set up to 2 games each, at that point I thought Djokovic will start
his run to challenge.....but not.

I am of the mindset not in thinking that Djokovic isnt going to win any more,
there is Alcaraz and Sinner as a minimum who can beat him any day now
on any surface. Sadly the baton from the 3 GOATS has been handed to the
next generation.

Carlos Alcaraz won his second title at Wimbledon, showing that he will be one of the new champions in the post-Big 3 era. It was good for Djokovic to reach the final but he didn't play well in the final match. At his age, this performance is still admirable, but it's getting harder and harder for him to win another title because of his age. It was fun to watch the two players face each other, we will be watching more of Alcaraz now. Spain won at Wimbledon, now let's see what happens at Euro 2024. Grin

Today before start of the match I was having strong feeling we will have 5 set match with both will be tried their best for having this title but after end of the first set I was shocked because Alcaraz having amazing development, and he completely smashed Djokovic with his power services and game this was really amazing match for the new kid in the court he completely outclassed Novan Djokovic he was having no answers of his questions which was he asking throughout match.

Third set bring some hopes alive but at the end Alcaraz is having better player and now most chances he is going to rule the tennis in coming era with Sinner which is also having good quality and consistency even in this event he was not able to give his best, but things are now looking for end of an era and new generation is going to rule here for next decade.
