What doubts? The guy has won 2 out of 3 grand slams and lost wimbledkn in the finals in a 5 set classic. Anyone thinking he's done is either delusional or a hater
For me it's about what is motivating him to carry on and that is records (the main one being Courts Grand Slam count). When he's got the ones he wants I think he'll call it a day even if he's still fit enough to play because the effort required to keep up with the next gen at his age is huge.
Sono fan di nole dal 2007 perché non mi erano simpatici...gli altri...però ragazzi...ha 36 anni Se vince us open Leggenda assoluta Non voglio più sentire parlare di goat
and sadly, the haters abound. A feisty young Serb crashing the Fedal lovefest just as it was peaking was his unforgiveable sin. The other stuff is just an excuse to hate instead of begrudgingly accepting second place like a civilized soul.
Nole is the man! That Cincy final will surely go down in history as one of the all time GREAT matches in tennis history. Carlitos and him have played matches that they should each other be proud of.
Love this amazing athlete a champion of unparalleled proportions ,his never say never attitude makes him an opponent to be feared,take him for granted at your peril,
I hope also.... meanwhile Nadal hasn't reached Wimbledon Final after 2011 and Federer hasn't won RG and US open after 2009. Djokovic has won all 4 Slams recently (oldest US open title is also in 2018). That, tells Djokovic is most complete player and also he has greatest longevity.
Someone has deleted his/her reply here. Why being shy? Is it because you said that Novak would be stopped by Rune, but your fave Rune was stopped by Carballes, ranked 63? Come on, no shame in being a hater. If that helps you get rid of, at least, some of your frustrations, then it's worth it, isn't it?
Новак је неко на кога треба бити поносан. We who support Novak, we are so proud of him. Thanks champ 👏🏻🍀👑 Respect for the Alcatraz and what he is doing.
Novak now has three of every major title with exception of Monte Carlo (w*2). He's going for more slams but he want one more Monte Carlo title and the Olympic gold, for sure no one, I mean NO ONE can argue the records he has and it's gonna be unthinkable for others to even come close to the achievement he's got, it is a reality of mission impossible!!
For me Olympic medal is important, but no gold only.. If gold medal is only what’s count, then Andy is two times better than the Big 3 combined 😂. Olympic games are playing once in 4 years, which means that’s the hardest tournament to win and that’s why i think we need to look just the medal even if it’s a bronze, silver or gold one. The only feat Nole will not reach is calendar slam… but he is the GOAT for sure 🐐
@@dimitrijeigic3176 He was literally 1 match away from calendar slam at the age of 34... He already won 4 grand slams in a row (non calendar slam)... it's enough to be super GOAT 🐐
400+ weeks and number one, and most year end number ones, plus Nole slam...... he literally only needs MC Masters, OG and possibly 8th Wimbledon and 4th RG for 4x all GSs NOW THAT would be INSANE
Well , finally someone who says it , "he must find a way to serve better than he currently is" . This is the main reason these matches with Carlos have been close , otherwise Djokovic has been the better player .
Spot on, his uncharacteristic poor service during these matches have put him behind the ball many times and created additional mental pressure so that he eventually cracks in an uncharacteristic manner during the critical moments. I hope he has worked on that for this us open.
its not just his serves he needs to be more aggro like carlos cause carlos has great court coverage like novak , novak neesd to finish the game fast cause he does not have as much stamina s carlitos anymore he can destroy the whole competition if he stikes in full aggro mode
This rivalry is so unique and unlike other ones we’ve seen in the past. Now it’s the youngest against the oldest, the oncoming against the outgoing. Novak is THE legend now, Carlos, if all goes well, he is gonna be the next Legend.
Amazing what Djoker is doing at 36 and shows how tennis is evolved. '36' was ancient and to not just "play on the tour", but arguably dominate the tour (at least in the top 2)...speaks for itself. I like his approach to scheduling tournaments, not over-extending, and playing it conservative in the early rounds.
❤It is so convenient for Novax fans to talk about his performance at 36 years old. What they don’t mention is that Federer won the Australian Open in 2017.
@@pedromorales167 not taking about one particular GS; talking about an ENTIRE YEAR of GS finals with winning three of the four. Not even the great RF had a year like Novak and at 36.
But the end goal is - 110 titles or at very least 104 (just to edge past Federer), 42 masters titles (preferably 1 more title at Monte-Carlo for triple elite title sweep, 1 more at Indian Wells for standalone tournament record breaking tie with Federer and 1 more Miami Open for standalone tournament record breaking tie with Agassi) and 420 weeks as #1 (Which equals 8 full years)...Then off course 25 slams (for intergender singles title record), Olympic Gold for Career Super Slam and finally 8 year-end finishes as #1 to level with Steffi Graf's intergender record!
Heat strokes can be very dangerous, much more dangerous than cramps! People who say heat strokes shouldn't get MTOs just don't understand how dangerous they are.
Matchstick boy Djokovic has different gene compared to rafa .. Djokovic had the same hair since 2007 ..no longer no shorter ..that's why his head is referring to matchstick
Stats say everything but still some people can't accept the fact that he is the goat in this sport. Only thing I want from him is to break Margaret Court's single's grand slam title record and win an olympic gold next year which would put an end to the goat debate.
Not only In this sport he is one of greatest athlete of all time. I am messi fan but novak is above him. Because individuals sports is way more harder than team sports. in football player gets ball for max 5-10 min while in tennis they has to play 4-5 hours and matches is back to back very little time for recovery and they has to win all matches to win the title. If novak win 25+ gs Complete his triple career master And win more than 109 titles than he deserves to be greatest athlete of all time.
Novak is already undoubtedly the GOAT of tennis. If he manages to win all of that he would be the GOAT athlete lol. Since when has any player held literally every record and won everything in any sport? Seems like an impossible task if you ask me. Roger was crowned GOAT of tennis at 20 slams when he didn't even have half of the accomplishments Novak has now.
You can't put an end to the goat debate when Novak has the most Grand Slam titles, the most Masters 1000 titles, the most weeks as World No.1, the most end of season finishes as World No.1, plus a winning H2H against Federer and Nadal. The goat debate was over a long time ago. Even Federer and Nadal know it.
@@athletes6724 Yeah football is a team sport where every goal scored is an art of a teamwork and the stats of messi had came from all other 10 men on the pitch but talking about injuries football has more severe injuries as compared to tennis which affects player's performance. But I agree with your words about winning every match to win a title and a long game of 4-5 hours so I would be saying Novak is mentally strongest athlete that I've ever witnessed
They are so close that I can't see an edge in favor of either of the two. Every match is decided by a few points. I agree with you that hopefully both of them will arrive to the final, every time they meet we see the best level in tennis nowadays, it's amazing. Unfortunately, the draw is ok for Djokovic and difficult for Alcaraz, so let's pray for him, we want them in the final.
What Novak is doing at 36/37 yrs competng with the younger generation and yet staying on top is incredulous and stuff of the legend. This domination is unprecedented in an athletetic sport like Tennis which belongs to the youth.Novak is synonym for perseverance, mental strength and resilience. This ultimate Serbinator is setting new benchmarks and has pivoted himself in the pinnacle of sport.
I think for Novak he"ll keep his quality for at least 1or 2 years, so is fair to say that he is far from over. On the other hand, what i think is possible, and honestly what i'd like to see is the other top 5 next gen stepping up, and really making face against novak and carlos, players like Rune and Sinner, even casper ruud making a breakthroug on the slams
@@ralyman2 Alcaraz already WON two GS. That's one of the worst arguments i've ever seen. Also, ruud doesn't have that drive and will to win. He's just a good regular player (on clay). The future can prove me wrong, but if there's one player of this new gen that i DON'T see winning any GS is ruud.
Djokovic’s serve game was what killed him in Wimbledon, he did better in Cencinnatti to survive, but he needs to improve it to have any chance in US Open.
The real question is not whether Novak Djokovic is the best athlete ever, Yes , he is ..but I wonder who will be his next real rival when Alcaras retires?
If Alcaraz continues with those drop shops, he did in Wimbledon. There’s a good chance. He will take the U.S. Open. But Djokovic is the legend, and in my opinion, the favorite.
Drop shots won't work. Novak has clearly said in the recent interview that Alcaraz don't surprise him anymore. He was referring to all his tricks not just one or two shots.
The best tennis match I have ever seen was last years Sinner VS Carlitos at US Open , ( thats why RF retired just after that, in my opinion)so that would be the match to see in QF I believe, ... who wins that match will the final slam ...
Actually, I think the exact opposite. Alcaraz was showing signs of cramping in the third set at Cincinnati yet again. On the other hand, Novak's extreme fitness often grinds down stubborn opponents over five sets. Even at 36 years of age, his fitness and stamina are super-human. Not convinced that Alcaraz's mental strength over a marathon 5-setter would match Novak's either.
My friend who was there at the game rooting for Djoko in Cincinnati said 10% of the fans were for Djokovic and 90% were for Alcatraz. Whenever he plays in the US most of the fans are against him.
mann!! nole will max play for another year or two. hope he'll retire from tennis with the flourish ahead of everyone setting the heights that no one will ever reach
Who told you that??? Who knows, this is his right to decide. And Alcaraz, he recently showed up. Why do you make him a god? Is he capable of accomplishing what Novak has already accomplished? Doubt so! Time will show that. Go through Novak's records, you clearly don't know anything.
Lost a close 5 set match when he didn't have his A game... he missed shots he never misses and was beaten not by winners but by the awkward shots ... but somehow that match meant Novak was done? If he got 6-2 6-3 6-2 then ai may feel differently...
If Carlos will have no injury, he will be the definitive number 1 in the world. But I dont see that, because, there is nothing to increase for him and he will destroy his body much earlier, then the most people think. Carlos is too much away from seeing his own game. His Eyes are always at the cameras and he will only be the one, the people love. He is addicted to the crowd. So if he is playing against another player, the people really love, it will become very hard for him. And without it coaches, they say something after every ball, he will be maybe lost. So lets see, what happens to this young boy, who plays excellent tennis.
After Nole retires, game will be boring, mark my words, carlos will win maybe 15 slams and than some injury will stop him, but there will never ever be any kind of remotely similar warrior , golden age of tennis will be forever gone.
"Defending points" is a silly concept. Alcaraz is not going down to 2 in a couple weeks because he won the 2022 US Open and can't "defend" those points. He is going down because he didn't play the ATP Finals and the Australian Open. Let's imagine two universes where everything is the same except last year's US Open: First universe: Defending champion Alcaraz beats Djokovic in two weeks in the Final. The following Monday's rankings: 1. Djokovic with 10,995 points 2. Alcaraz with 9,815 points Now, a Universe where Alcaraz did not even play in the 2022 US Open but also beats Djokovic in two weeks in the Final. The following Monday's rankings: 1. Djokovic with 10,995 points 2. Alcaraz with 9,815 points It never matters what you did 53 weeks ago, it matter what you didn't do the last 52 weeks. There is nothing negative about "defending points", it gives you seeding!
What is really AMAZING is that Djoker has entered 6 tournament so far this year, yet he wasn't able to reach the final at any of them. Thus he is # 13 so far in 2024. 😄
Your point was wrong in the first minute, he skipped Toronto and that’s exactly he survived that gruelling final in Cincinnati despite not losing a set in the tournament While the poor guy Alcaraz played probably 20 hr professional tennis more than Novak but then again screwed in the US Open draw despite being No 1 seed. Unbelievable
Novak won 2 grand slams this year alone and lost one in the finals and people are already saying he is losing momentum... What the hell is wrong with people today? Does Novak really have to win every match he plays?
Alcaraz play tennis of his life , plus he was so lucky 🍀 at Wimbledon! That how he win there! Novak didn’t play best tennis, he was unlucky, struggling with 💨 wind( we all know that he needs great conditions to play his best)and still he barely lose with few points difference from 16 years younger guy! That how Great he’s!!! Goat 🐐
How insane is it for some fans to compare the dangers of a heat stroke to CRAMPS? I don't care how healthy you are, if you are overexerting yourself under the Sun in extremely hot conditions (who can control the Sun...), you are in danger of a heat stroke. It's a shame that both had to play under such threatening conditions; its their job... I agree, it definitely deserves a medical time out; it DEMANDS it! Are there fans out there who honestly feel someone should continue playing while having a heat stroke????
We still have Gael, Stan which are older than Nole, Murrey same age and Rafa who is older coming back next year so I hope Nobak will be last man standing from that generation and end playing 28/29 He should won Wimbledon this year but he didn't and I expect him to do that in 24-26, 27-29 Carlos would have edge over Novak and probably win 4 out of 5 matches so at the end it could be 21-14 for Carlos but it doesn't matter because h2h Novak is better from his peers Murray and Nadal and Federer who is some 5-6 years older. Carlitos is 16 years younger and it's not realistic 41 year old Novak to be better than 25 year old Alcaraz but even winning once in 5 would be success at that stage. I hope my wish come true and Novak keep playing for 6 more years, while 3 is what everybody else predict
All them haters beg all the gods Novak just stops playing. Always the same dilemma, is he the best, or is he second best? Be real and open your eyes. Just recognize greatness!
It's heat "exhaustion", not heat stroke. Google heat stroke. It's a very rare and very specific emergency condition requiring emergency room treatment, and everyone needs to know the difference between it and heat exhaustion. Prolonged heat exhaustion occasionally leads to heat stroke. Body temp rises to 104 or more and you stop sweating and your brain will be damaged or worse if you don't get in an ice bath. It's an immediate 911 situation. I've had heat exhaustion countless times in my profession (working outdoors in South US summers). It's miserable. Your brain fogs and you may get light-headed, taking one more step requires effort, and you feel a desperate need to get out of the sun but unless you are stupid or driven by a slave driver you will collapse in exhaustion well before your body actually gets into the danger zone. The possibility prolonged heat exhaustion could lead to heat stroke is why the Cincy situation is concerning but nobody got stroked there.
Novak is still top of the game and I am glad Carlos lost so he’ll come back stronger for the US open. Right now things are pretty even between the 2 but Father Time will kick in at one point. In the meantime we’ll enjoy the show.
Cramps and heat stroke should absolutely mandate a medical timeout. Cramps are somewhat a reflection of your condition But they can also be a reflection of your individual physiology and can arise spontaneously and they make you not being able to play. I mean you can say a muscle tear is a reflection of your condition too. Its a stupid argument.
What doubts? The guy has won 2 out of 3 grand slams and lost wimbledkn in the finals in a 5 set classic. Anyone thinking he's done is either delusional or a hater
Perfectly said
For me it's about what is motivating him to carry on and that is records (the main one being Courts Grand Slam count). When he's got the ones he wants I think he'll call it a day even if he's still fit enough to play because the effort required to keep up with the next gen at his age is huge.

Who told you that??? Who knows, this is his right to decide. And Alcaraz, he recently showed up. Why do you make him a god? Is he capable of accomplishing what Novak has already accomplished? Doubt so! Time will show that. Go through Novak's records, you clearly don't know anything.
I guess you dont recognize jokes when you see them. Chill out dude@@anastan835
I agree 💯 on the Olympic gold metal. It would be ashame if the GOAT did not get that one 😢
Nobody cares it in tennis. patriotic values only .no value in professional tennis.it's just a small tournament.
Lost a close 5 set match when he didn't have his A game... he missed shots he never misses and was beaten not by winners but by the awkward shots ... but somehow that match meant Novak was done? If he got 6-2 6-3 6-2 then ai may feel differently...
If Carlos will have no injury, he will be the definitive number 1 in the world. But I dont see that, because, there is nothing to increase for him and he will destroy his body much earlier, then the most people think. Carlos is too much away from seeing his own game. His Eyes are always at the cameras and he will only be the one, the people love. He is addicted to the crowd. So if he is playing against another player, the people really love, it will become very hard for him.
And without it coaches, they say something after every ball, he will be maybe lost. So lets see, what happens to this young boy, who plays excellent tennis.
Nole the GOAT for sure
His next 3 milestones - 100 titles, 40 masters and 400 weeks as world number one all look pretty damn realistic if you'd ask me...
After Nole retires, game will be boring, mark my words, carlos will win maybe 15 slams and than some injury will stop him, but there will never ever be any kind of remotely similar warrior , golden age of tennis will be forever gone.
Definitely. It will be hard to find 3 players of the same caliber such as Djokovic 🐐, Nadal & Federer. With Djokovic being the King GOAT 👑 🐐
Hate him or love noone will be better than Novak in our lifetime.
"Defending points" is a silly concept. Alcaraz is not going down to 2 in a couple weeks because he won the 2022 US Open and can't "defend" those points. He is going down because he didn't play the ATP Finals and the Australian Open.
Let's imagine two universes where everything is the same except last year's US Open:
First universe: Defending champion Alcaraz beats Djokovic in two weeks in the Final. The following Monday's rankings:
1. Djokovic with 10,995 points
2. Alcaraz with 9,815 points
Now, a Universe where Alcaraz did not even play in the 2022 US Open but also beats Djokovic in two weeks in the Final. The following Monday's rankings:
1. Djokovic with 10,995 points
2. Alcaraz with 9,815 points
It never matters what you did 53 weeks ago, it matter what you didn't do the last 52 weeks. There is nothing negative about "defending points", it gives you seeding!
What is really AMAZING is that Djoker has entered 6 tournament so far this year, yet he wasn't able to reach the final at any of them. Thus he is # 13 so far in 2024. 😄
where'd the other speaker go?
we are about to make an announcement soon! Stay tuned....
@@Courtside_Tennissweet, this guy is good too though
@@king0vdarknesswho is he? Reminds me of Ruud.
@@sciagurrato1831probably just a tennis fan
Nole 🌍🙏☦❤🏆😇
Instead of MT , more breaks should allowed as in recent times we are seeing matches being played under challenging environment conditions
Novak is the greatest tennis player ever!!
Queen Carlita is an exceptional talent
Novak is dangerous when he is pushed in the corner and then he rise.
damn I only saw the highlights for this match
Joker had to win this , else alcraz would've gone mentally ahead.
Good video
So, now novak only needs one game to win, to become the nr. 1 again. I really wanna see, what is happening to Alcaraz, when he is realizing it.
Lets all enjoy Djokovic and Alcaraz matches for next few years until Alcaraz retires 😂
amazing
It is fantastic you have to play with the younger generation so that they can come after when the older players retires
Carlos cannot take over Djokovic, nature will take over. To bad age difference...it would be spectacular tennis.
If Novak finds his serve he should win. Reason he lost Wimbledon was because serve was inconsistent
Your point was wrong in the first minute, he skipped Toronto and that’s exactly he survived that gruelling final in Cincinnati despite not losing a set in the tournament
While the poor guy Alcaraz played probably 20 hr professional tennis more than Novak but then again screwed in the US Open draw despite being No 1 seed. Unbelievable
Novax is the Greatest of all Time because he no vax himself which is very smart because of Myocarditis, inflammation of the heart! 😂
Novak won 2 grand slams this year alone and lost one in the finals and people are already saying he is losing momentum... What the hell is wrong with people today? Does Novak really have to win every match he plays?
Alcaraz play tennis of his life , plus he was so lucky 🍀 at Wimbledon! That how he win there! Novak didn’t play best tennis, he was unlucky, struggling with 💨 wind( we all know that he needs great conditions to play his best)and still he barely lose with few points difference from 16 years younger guy! That how Great he’s!!! Goat 🐐
How insane is it for some fans to compare the dangers of a heat stroke to CRAMPS? I don't care how healthy you are, if you are overexerting yourself under the Sun in extremely hot conditions (who can control the Sun...), you are in danger of a heat stroke. It's a shame that both had to play under such threatening conditions; its their job... I agree, it definitely deserves a medical time out; it DEMANDS it! Are there fans out there who honestly feel someone should continue playing while having a heat stroke????
We still have Gael, Stan which are older than Nole, Murrey same age and Rafa who is older coming back next year so I hope Nobak will be last man standing from that generation and end playing 28/29 He should won Wimbledon this year but he didn't and I expect him to do that in 24-26, 27-29 Carlos would have edge over Novak and probably win 4 out of 5 matches so at the end it could be 21-14 for Carlos but it doesn't matter because h2h Novak is better from his peers Murray and Nadal and Federer who is some 5-6 years older. Carlitos is 16 years younger and it's not realistic 41 year old Novak to be better than 25 year old Alcaraz but even winning once in 5 would be success at that stage. I hope my wish come true and Novak keep playing for 6 more years, while 3 is what everybody else predict
Novak is the best training for Carlos. I think Novak will only increase the likelihood of Carlos becoming the giant we think he can become.
Yes heat strokes is dangerous too
All them haters beg all the gods Novak just stops playing. Always the same dilemma, is he the best, or is he second best? Be real and open your eyes. Just recognize greatness!
He wants history
He is no longer Goatovic but Terrovic to the new and next gen. A nightmare to face joker is no joke.👾👾👾👽👾👾👾
It's heat "exhaustion", not heat stroke. Google heat stroke. It's a very rare and very specific emergency condition requiring emergency room treatment, and everyone needs to know the difference between it and heat exhaustion. Prolonged heat exhaustion occasionally leads to heat stroke. Body temp rises to 104 or more and you stop sweating and your brain will be damaged or worse if you don't get in an ice bath. It's an immediate 911 situation. I've had heat exhaustion countless times in my profession (working outdoors in South US summers). It's miserable. Your brain fogs and you may get light-headed, taking one more step requires effort, and you feel a desperate need to get out of the sun but unless you are stupid or driven by a slave driver you will collapse in exhaustion well before your body actually gets into the danger zone. The possibility prolonged heat exhaustion could lead to heat stroke is why the Cincy situation is concerning but nobody got stroked there.
G.O.A.T..........Joker
Good win but let's wait till the US OPEN.
All I know is that Carlos and Novak are VERY close in their skill set. I couldn't bet against any of them...
Novak is still top of the game and I am glad Carlos lost so he’ll come back stronger for the US open. Right now things are pretty even between the 2 but Father Time will kick in at one point. In the meantime we’ll enjoy the show.
the host is cute
Cramps and heat stroke should absolutely mandate a medical timeout. Cramps are somewhat a reflection of your condition But they can also be a reflection of your individual physiology and can arise spontaneously and they make you not being able to play. I mean you can say a muscle tear is a reflection of your condition too. Its a stupid argument.
Novak is the GOAT it's over
heat stroke has nothing to do with training and preparedness
