Nah. He can fuck off.
Djokovic is clearly the GOAT, but he's not likeable.

Yes.

I don't know if he banged your sister or something but you are the only person I know who has an issue with the fella.

I don’t think Djokovic comes across like a bad guy. Couple of times he’s been a bit of a dickhead (like when he held a players gathering and gave loads of them covid…well done genius) but I think it’s just that Federer and Nadal are much more loved by the crowd…and I think it largely comes down to the Tennis. Djokovic is a fantastic defender, his court coverage is exceptional but unless he’s playing Nadal the Tennis is not quite as enjoyable as the style of the other two.


I always felt the Wimbledon crowd were fully behind whoever Sampras played in the final, and Sampras was a dull player to watch.

My issue was he was a smug sly git, and yes I know others who agree, but it's less of an issue now his track record is being steadily ground further into the dust by Djoko

These others? Are they in the room with us now?


Let’s be honest with ourselves, the opinion that Roger Federer was as you put it a “smug, sly git” is a pretty idiosyncratic one


Djokovic has more grand slams, but I don’t think he will be as well remembered as Federer or Nadal.

Fed only has 20 grand slams. What a loser!

No-one is ever going to question that him, Djokovic and Nadal absolutely dominated this era of tennis. I did consider Federer the GOAT but that surely has to be ceded to Djok now. Nadal I'd find trickier to place, he has more grand slams than Fed but aren't a lot of them in the French? I'm not saying they don't count but implies he dominated on one surface more than others.

Nice try but grand slams are grand slams, Federer is an also-ran compared to Rafa and Djoko, whatever the pathetic, fawning Wimbledon rentamob might want to believe

Holy shit. You're a weirdo, mate

[Mac76]

you're desperately trying to argue that Wodger's fewer GS's are worth more than Rafa's and I'm the weirdo?
