That’s weird, that’s queer, that’s crazy, that deserves a long hard look.

Djokovic is, based off wins, the best and most successful tennis player ever, no argument there. He is not even close to being the greatest tennis player ever. Will never be a goat.

Criticism of Djokovic here on SN has nothing to do with his tennis ability. The criticism is about his snake oil alternative treatment promotion and made up stories about metal poisoning.

By what other metric do you base GOAT status by given the level of competition in his era.

Geez you talk some absolute rubbish RK.

You were so brainwashed by fake news that you wanted people charged with murder if they passed on covid unvaccinated. As it turns out the experiment didn't stop transmission, yet you still believe the other bullshit.
Now you want to call out Novak who never pushed his beliefs onto anyone? go crawl back in your hole Dill.

It’s good we have you to advise us and impart your extensive expertise.

over 1 billion spend on Celebrities to promote the experimental jab. Never forget that dumbo.

You haven’t grown much as a human since Covid, have you, burleigh.

Being the same irrational angry know it all is your thing…and always will be.

You really should have matured a bit. Yet, the same old schtick remains.

SN is a better place without the name calling and go nowhere back and forth. You should try it, I am.

Second funniest thing I’ve read all day.

Over 1 billion dollars spent on celebrities and influenzas to promote the experimental Covid vaccine. Yet you want to single out one of the best sports people in the world for his own beliefs that he has not pushed onto anyone?

You son, are a fool.

I agree Burls, the cult of celebrity is retarded.
I wish the general public had the ability to listen to an expert panel of epidemiologists and statisticians and be persuaded.
Equally I wish people could listen to celebrities dribble shit and subsequently disregard them.

You want people to listen to the likes of Faucci and his dodgy mates?

Anthony Faucci who is getting a preemptive pardon? Lol

I guess if you're a fan of Trump and Tucker Carlson you're bound to dislike Fauci.
In any case I can't say I pay too much attention to the grotesque shit-show that is American politics and media.
Australia's bad enough.

Out of interest, I reckon it's worth pointing out how Fauci changed his mind based on ongoing evidence (the foundation of scientific progress).
However in Trump and Carlson’s minds, such reversals equal lying.
Can't win eh?

If he gets a preemptive pardon from Biden do you believe he’s guilty? I do

Watching the GOAT at Rod Laver arena tonight was an incredible experience. Still going very strong at his veteran age. His health and body management should be a benchmark for any young, aspiring athletes.

Shhhhhh, this will upset the dill and AndyM who believe the only way to be alive is with medication.

Good on you Flollo, bucket list experience right there.

I would say his health and body management are the benchmark in world sport. Mental toughness too. Such an incredible never say die ability to climb back from impossible situations, slowly grinding out a win when a game looked gone. His physical fitness has been supreme and this has allowed him to do this. The thing is there's been a lot of them, it's a feature of his legacy. The only word I can think of that can do it justice is inspiring. He has outlasted and out played the best of the best, more than anyone. Unless you watch or play the game, you won't appreciate properly how relentless and physical a battle a 5 set elite game of tennis can be. 40 minutes at solid JBay has nothing on it.

Regarding GOAT status, I agree that he deserves that recognition. I've been watching him play for 2 decades now, and his ability to craft a victory despite a few early technical flaws is second to none. I've played a lot of tennis and even coached a bit back in the day, it's an epic, physical, ultra competitive sport. I gave it up for surfing though. The thing with a sport like golf or tennis, is that the result is way more important than it is in something like dancing or surfing. You can't argue against a golfer's technique if he keeps sinking the birdies can you.
The goal in tennis is to win the point, and half of the game is the defence of the point. Novak outshines everyone here, and has an enviable trophy cabinet to show for it.
His head to head against Nadal and Federer no less, says everything. He's outplayed them both, in their prime, to win the point, game, set & match. He won the head to head against both, including 5-1 over Federer in Grand Slam finals. Time to give the guy the respect he deserves. Results matter more in tennis, it's not subjective. There is no argument from me that Federer had the cleanest most beautiful style. Nadal was always my personal favourite. But Novak is the GOAT.

PS, I don't know what a flipper is, but did you hear Warnie used to visit Ashley & Martin. What must that have done to all the children's own self esteem

Wipe your mouth, you’re dribbling shit.

Worth a few looks...
