1. Djokovic is King

After his maiden Grand Slam win at the 2008 Australian Open, Djokovic's mother, Dijana, declared "the king is dead," a reference to then-No. 1 Federer.

That coup d'état was three years premature, but after 27-year-old Djokovic's dominating four-year run, beginning with his three-Slam 2011, it is no longer a stretch.

Yeah, absolutely. To be honest, I think Fedal is at its end. After the drubbing Fed received at RG and the loss at Wimbledon, he's done winning slams. No way does he win Career. Djokovic will probably do to Nadal what Nadal did to Fed, or rather he would, if he stopped being injured/sick so often. Wonder if that has something to do with gluten...

Roger's era is long gone, but his fanatic supporters won't admit this.

I am really surprised Djokivic's mother isn't as hated as Uncle Toni. Maybe she faded into obscurity before she could do much damage. Part of the reason why threads like this exist, no?

First there's the guy asking if Djokovic is the next big thing, now this?

 

[miura88]

Fed reclaimed the world number 1 a year later, Djokovic had to wait 3 years after his maiden Slam to claim world number 1.

She was right, in the sense that Federer couldn't stay world number 1 forever, which isn't much of a prediction to be fair. Although Nadal was the one who dethroned Federer later that year.

One comment made in the heat of the moment vs dozens (if not hundreds) calculated comments over many years. yep, they're practically twins.

Nobody hates uncle toni.

 

[JW Parker]

And her mug son deosn't win a slam for 3 years from then :lol: :haha: She should have kept her mouth shut. Toni is a bigger cheat than his nephew. So, I hate him.

 

[TheEndIsNear]

Well yes. Federer is obviously never going to reclaim his throne, but this is a banal fact. The guy is 33 years old...

 

[castle007]

What is the point of this thread? Federer is 33 years old. Everyone and their mothers know that his era is over. Dijana made this comment almost 7 years ago!! And Federer ended up reclaiming the number 1 ranking twice after that. And her son didn't win any GSs till 2011, 3 years after she made those comments.

I usually don't have opinions about players' entourages. But Djokovic's parents really piss me off. They always look like they are hateful for some reason.

 

[Непознати]

Oh yes Dijana is so toxic and noxious that you have to pick a comment from January 2008 to gossip on her.

6 years ago.

If I were a Fedtard, I'd hate the blind overzealous trumpet beater more than the sly crooked strategist. At least Uncle Toni went on record saying Federer was the best player ever. :devil:

It depends on Djokovic more than it does on Federer. Calling a number two player with a 2014 season like Federer is silly. However, I don't think he can reclaim the No 1. spot with Djokovic in anything approaching his best form.

He can contend for the Wimbledon title though, if he can avoid Nadal.

 

[TooBadFed]

yawn

nothing better to do in the offseason then find 7 year old quotes to discuss

 

[nitrotaj]

MTF ruined.

 

[garad]

Ah, good old classy Dijana..

Fed haters, make-up your mind: for some of you, Fed tards do not admit their idol's era is long gone, but according to most of the haters, the remaining haters, if the same Federer admirers acknowledge the fact that indeed Federer's era is long gone, they just live in a delusional world and cannot understand that Federer at his peak played in a weak-ass era and now is only facing the harsh truth of reality, with players supposedly superior to him.

Make an assembly first and then decide of ONE strategy. You guys are looking dumb, and you are actually acknowledging Federer as the leader by neutralizing yourself with two opposed opinions.
