He's actually doing more damage to Sinner/Alcaraz's rep reaching these GrandSlam SF's all year despite being a part time grandfather. He's killing them by exposing the tour and their supposed "competition" He is actually proving and exposing Alcaraz/Sinner's competition by proving he wins the calendar slam even at 38 year years old if Sinner/Alcaraz wasn't around. I think he sticks around to win 25 but hes killing them like a boa constrictor in other ways like "WTF Is this? You call this competition? I'm the third best player in the world and I could fathered you with a drunken one night stand "
If Alcaraz and Sinner were placed in the same slam half for a couple of slams opposite to Djokovic, as was young Djokovic almost always placed in Nadal's half at RG and Federer's at USO/AO, 38-39 y.o. Djokovic could win another slam vs somewhat tired Sinaraz.

I think Novax is too busy thinking about the love of trees and his gluten free diet to think like an MTF poster
 
The reason Djokovic is still playing is the same as anyone that prolongs their career for as long as possible in a sport. It's because he's devoted his whole life to it, it's his passion, and he's never going to be as good at anything else ever again, or even remotely close to being as good at anything else ever again.
 
While Djokovic was kind of struggling in uso 2016 and got to the final due to pretty piss easy draw, wawrinka always a challenge for Djokovic in slams, and Djokovic took the first set in that match
Djokovic actually played better than I expected at the 2016 US Open final, given what he looked like against Monfils. His problem was a bad break point conversion rate, 3/17.

Exactly! And he is doing this as a part-time player! Actually the years before there were Medvedev, Zverev and others who were in shape - this year everybody is in decline. The weakest field I have ever seen. Hope 2026 could be stronger because no one is watching this!
 
Huh? Wawrinka beat Djokovic en route to all 3 of his slams. Also beat Nadal in AO 2014 and Fed in RG 2015. He still had to go through Del Potro and Nishikori for USO 2016
His 3 grand slams and the competition against which he won them is a thousand time with more quality than all the opponents for Alcaraz and Sinner right now. The same is valid for Murray, Del Potro, Cilic and all the Grand Slam winners before.
 
Do you understand what a "dip in form" is? I didn't say he avoided Big 3, I said he played them when they weren't on the top of their game. Fed, for example, hadn't won a slam for over two years at RG 2015.
The more you talk the more clown you sound, Djokovic was both on his 20+ wins streak when Wawrinka stopped him at AO 14 and FO 15. And Wawrinka beat 2 big-3 opponents to win two of his slams. Even big 3 members themselves could rarely do that.
 
You never know… both Sinner and Alcaraz can be out (injury, retirement, etc.) before Joker can meet them of them in a slam. In that case, Joker still have 90% chance to win the slam again, otherwise he would have 10% chance to meet one of them.

Hence, that is why he wants to keep playing hoping that they (both of them) would be out first in order to have an easy sunset ride to the final not facing one of them at all.
So you think Djokovic is some kind of an object that stays the same the whole time. It is more probable for him getting injured than Sinner and Alcaraz. That's why he is not playing so much because at that age the risk of injury is higher - actually 2025 he looked better in body shape than.in 2024 probably because he learnt how to manage his aging body. He has never violated his body in his career even when he could have done just that, when winning everything. This is the exact opposite of Nadal who only met with the slightest opportunity showed us he is ready to break his body at any price - his injuries are his own doing the way he was playing the game. Federer was more like Djokovic I would say without the last years where he tried hard to stay ahead with the GS and thus made a lot of injuries to his body after which he couldn't recover.

As all we know tennis is a Marathon game not a fast sprint.
 
Indifferent lol, unless you are completely blind an indifferent observer does not make that sort of inane comment. If nothing else his fitness/speed/recovery is worlds apart compared to 2018
The differences are not that big. The current Sinner and Alcaraz would be pulverizing the Djokovic of 2018-23 just like they've been dragging his soul recently.
