Oldovic looked pathetic out there.

 

It's not even funny at this point.

 

A real nailbiter

 

You can’t seriously be counting this in the official h2h, right? His 5th win a row was at Wimbledon

 

Why wouldn't he? It's a slam defeat, always tough for Djoko or any player but one of the highest stages on the tour, of course we will count it.

 

Sorry, but I've already lost count at how many consecutive sets Sinner has won against Djokovic, can anyone help me? asking for a friend.

 

Sinner played great but the idea Novak is still hanging around "to win slams" is beyond silly.

 

It's not unlikely Djokovic snags one last slam if Alcaraz and Sinner are upset. Believe me, Djokovic is hanging around for that possibility, and maybe Connors' titles record. Why not?

 

 

do you have this for fritz vs alkaras?

 

7th straight loss for Djokovic in this rivalry, although he didn´t play bad at all. Fed-Agassi H2H territory now. Both clearly played at 100% of current abilities, no reason to not count this.

I think Sinner takes this on Saturday.

 

Yona seething at this comment lol inject it into my veins 😹

Their entire fraudulent agenda completely exposed by sincaraz

 

Sinner seems like a guy who has other interests in life than to keep hitting a ball until he’s 40 years old like Djokovic. Anyways, that’s not the point..

 

like what? keeping his skin in the best possible shape?

 

Time to go Djokovic. He is no longer even worth comparing to Sinner. Might as well be in a different world at this point.

 

I feel like if Sinner and Djokovic were the same age nole would have < 5 majors. Seems to have a game that gives him very little options. I always felt like the players that could hit through Nole always stood a fair chance but Sinner does this with such unrelentless pressure and consistency it's a real foil for Novak's game.

BTW neither fed or rafa could hit through nole. Think more players like Safin, Kyrgios, Vesley and Wawrinka.

 

Who cares? It's just a lousy exhibition played in evil Saudi Arabia.

 

 

Since that Davis Cup match, Sinner is 17-3 in sets against Djokovic.

 

3? I only count 2, 2024 AO and 2024 Six Kings Slam if you even count that, officially has only won 1 set against Sinner post 2023.

 

5 slam semi final defeats in 2025 for Djokovic.

 

once again, this exhibition is not a slam

 

Let’s be real, Djokovic was here for the payday. That is all. He could not care less about the win. It’s an exho.

 

You're saying it like Jannik didn't beat him in slams this year.

 

Djokovic got annihilated, but I doubt he's fully recovered from Shanghai. After how he looked today, he'll probably play Athens and that's it until AO.

Sleeveless Sinner with an excellent performance, especially good serving.

 

sinner said it’s the best he ever served

it was 83% 1st or something

 

Leave the game before it leaves you.

 

Sinner serves like Sampras against Djoker and then serves like Jenson Brooksby against Carlos. Makes no sense

 

Tbh Djokovic's return game has declined significantly. He still hangs on by experience and his serve but he doesn't garner nearly as many breaks of serve or break opportunities as he used to. Per ATP stats past 52 weeks

Statistical measures of the best-performing players in three key categories in men's professional tennis.

www.atptour.com

1st serve return pts won - Alcaraz leads at 34.9%, then Baez! at 33.7% then Sinner at 33.4%. Djokovic is rated 13th there.
For second serve return pts % won, Sinner is king at over 58%! Djokovic at 53.2 comes in 9th for that stat.
In terms of % return games won, again Sinner leads at 33.3%, followed by Alcaraz, then Djokovic comes 9th at 26.5% so there's a clear gap.

If you change the filter to apply to only when playing against top 10 players, the differential becomes even more obvious (note of course the rating has limitations, some random names will have good stats at times - Vacherot leads this category filter ).

Djokovic also ranks #35 in the under pressure filter for break pts saved.

 

This match reminded me of when Federer had 40-15 against Djokovic

 

At least Federer had match points. Djokovic ain't even getting close to that anymore against these guys.

 

Exhibition or not, Sinner has been too good for Djokovic for the last couple of years. The matches aren’t even close. Whether it’s a slam, BO3 matches or exhibition. Djokovic is just too old and slow to handle Sinner’s current precise game.

Sinner is a consistent rally machine and he hit is really hard with a lot of power, it’s very impressive. He can do everything Djokovic does right now but better, hence it’s a mismatch right now.

Prime Djokovic vs Prime Sinner would have been a cracker but this matchup feels unfair due to the age gap. But that’s how the sport is, you always get displaced by the younger player eventually, Father Time beats nobody. Djokovic still being the 3rd best player in 2025 at the age of 38 is impressive nonetheless. No one can fault him for not handling Sinner at his prime age.

 

Why couldn't Sinner rise one year earlier and stop Djokovic at 22 Slams or less. 😢🥹

 

2023 Djokovic matched up still evenly with Sinner.

 

Well. These matches don't mean much though. Lets see what Carlos/Sinner are doing at 38 LOL. They wont be challenging the top 2 players in the world, thats for sure.

 

oh boy, a quick interview right after the match when asking the question if he still have the desire to keep playing, didn't he say "I still have my body what I have" He has his mind what he wants but silly him, his body gave up already.. he can't challenge Sinnalcaraz anymore.

He still awaits when Sinnalcaraz are out before the slam finals for the his final chance at 25.

 

Only player who made 5 slam SF at 38 years old. Undoubtedly the greatest achievement ever

 

SF is poorer though. Federer made WB final and had match points. Won Miami M1000 and won Basel. 38 years old Federer will spank 38 yo Djokovic.
