People act as if Novak didn't have to fight for his GOAT status against 2 other GOAT candidates... No athlete had to do that. Serena didn't have to play against Steffi and Martina, Ali didn't have to fight against Tyson, Jordan didn't have to play against Lebron or Russell... The same goes for Messi, Phelps, Bolt... No one had to play against 2 other GOAT candidates. Most of them not even against one. Because of his achievements but above all because of the competition against whom he won it all, Novak is perhaps the greatest athlete of all time.
You don't consider Carlitos a GOAT candidate??!!! Alcaraz might win most of the Grand Slams the coming few years (and beyond possibly) if he stays fit..
Alcaraz or another player might surpass Novac in number of titles someday, but only Novac did it against Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer. There will never be another tennis generation like the big 3.

Roderick had a good perspective on Djokovic after Wimbledon, saying that he just had surgery and just needed more time to break in his knee after surgery and gain confidence that he could move as he used to without further injury. We saw the result of a little more time and practice at the Olympics
THERE is no way I will buy this. Not one title this whole year (keep your 'he wasn't fit...' in your brainless box), his last attempt at Olympic gold, on his least favorite surface, and he wins it, against a player who's been on a roll winning majors and made this final? As I have been saying all along, since at least 2022, unless the ITF, ATP and Others look deep into any and all possible Briberies of all top 200 players, their bank accounts, cell and computers use (including Public), landline phones if possible, this novaq is not legitimate (in that period). When some players lose to him who should have likely not lost to him, it is a mental game against the others playing novaq. There IS a serious Serbian mafia, too, and filthy rich white gamblers want their white knight to win more and more. Racists call this "wake up, you are dreaming" and "go see your doctor" yet, EVIDENCE is everywhere the cheating for teams and athletes happens in EVERY sport, and novaq's fans think (I doubt they actually know how to) tennis is clean. Okay then./\/\/\/
Cool fact, Djokovic turned pro, Alcaraz wasn't even born! Alcaraz was born five months after Djokovic already started playing professional tennis for five months (May 2003 - Alcaraz was born, Djokovic turned pro January 2003). Djokovic first grand slam debut happened at the AO in 2005, Alcaraz was about a year and a half. Djokovic first appearance at the Olympic games happened in 2008 when Alcaraz was only 5! Djokovic beat Alcaraz at the 2024 Olympic Games (Alcaraz at 21 and Djokovic at 37), being the oldest Olympic games champion ever! It's insane how Djokovic has been playing tennis professionally for longer than Alcaraz has been alive!

@@scottwarren4998 it wasn’t all clay. Nadal has 11 wins against Djokovic at grand slams. 3 were outside Roland Garros. The 2 really big ones are those 2 US Open finals. But there is no denying that 8 of 11 Nadal major wins against Djokovic are indeed on the clay courts of Roland Garros. And they played more at Roland Garros than the other 3 majors combined. This tells me that Djokovic always beat everyone else but fell to Nadal at Roland Garros yet Nadal could only a few times even get to the Djokovic match at the other 3 majors 🤷♂️
I want to compliment you on your refreshing analysis on tennis. You showed up on a my feed several weeks back, and I have come to thoroughly enjoy your analysis.

Bro please make a video about delpotro He is criminally underrated He was one of the biggest rising star back in 2009 Injuries ruined a potentially legendary career
Honestly, this is my favorite win of Novak’s career. Anybody who’s done some sort of competitive sport over the course of a few years knows that there’s that one event you always, inexplicably, can’t seem to come through with. The Olympics were that for Djokovic, and seeing him finally pull through was the icing on the cake of the GOAT’s career.
I would've picked Alcaraz to win the match but Djokovic proved any doubters wrong again. Guy still has it. I'm actually a little surprised it took until this point in his career to get the Gold given how dominant he'd been in his younger years but that's sports.
Think about it, Novak now won arguably the best 2 set match ever (this Olympics final), the best 3 set match ever (Cincinnati final 2023) and the best 5 set match ever (AO 2012 final). His greatness also happens to give the best matches 🐐
And also probably the most heartbreaking match in History for all long time tennis fans - the Wimbledon 2019. I still see a lot of people having war flashbacks of that day
@@jeffreyferiguraii1865 I agree lol, I was more of a Roger fan at that time but I couldn't watch the match live (THANKFULLY) now with time I appreciate Novak winning it haha
very good show. Love it. I was a big federer fan who didnt like Nadal or Djoko but I am getting tired of Fed's arrogance and product sales... he is constantly selling stuff: glasses, book, documentaries, laver cup, shoes etc... getting boring. and he never congratulate others (at least publicly). Whereas Nadal comes across as so humble and nice, and Djoko, even if i dont love the character, is simply the best athlete in the world, all sports included. His mental and strength and technic, and the fact that he won everything in his sport is simply phenomenal. Bravo!
when the young guns come up, either win or lost to joker, joker always say good thing like you are going to get grand slam. i don't remember fed ever said that. it's true that both fed and joker don't want other to surpass them, but joker still maintain a better attitude. maybe he is a nicer person.
Full credit to Alcaraz for taking the second set into TB. Novak's Beast Mode was on soon after the first set. Had it been any other player, it was at the least 6-2 cakewalk for Novak. Well done, Alcaraz! You have a great future. 👍 Well, as far as Novak goes what else is left to say? He's simply the 🐐
For me this Finale was so awesome. The whole quality of the Game was a Masterpiece of Tennis. No Player lost his service game in the whole match. I have never seen this before. If someone really loves Tennis, you will love to see this Game. It was a declaration of love for this Sport.
The Olympic Gold medal was never the criteria for greatness. In tennis, winning Grand Slams were the only criteria of greatness ... rightly because of the format (best of five) and number of participants (128)... however few people (Rafa fans) started giving weight to Olympic gold... The only medal on which they were dancing...BUT now NO more dancing.... Novak has destroyed Rafa, Federer and their egos too... Rafa somehow managed to congratulate with a heavy heart' but the feeder (No voice) i guess he has become speechless...😅
Yeah, I'm loving it. Suddenly last year Rafa fans suddenly started treating the Olympics as if it was the world cup of tennis or something. That clearly pushed Novak a bit mroe to win gold, and he made sure to milk it for all its worth. :D
@@IGuess... well I'm not sure how you quantify class so it's pretty subjective. What's not subjective is Novak's *destruction* of just about every tennis record set by other players. What do you have to say about that *destruction* ?
Novak fans: _"Djokovic is the GOAT. He beat every record out there."_ Fedal fans: _"He doesn't have the Olympics gold medal."_ *Novak wins the Olympics gold medal.* Fedal fans: _"It's not just about the titles and numbers. Djokovic is NOT the GOAT! and he NEVER will be!"_ Novak Djokovic is the indisputable GOAT and Fedal fans are so angry because they have ABSOLUTELY NO ARGUMENT against it. You just cannot help but laugh at their stupidity, but also be happy and smile for Novak and all that he has accomplished.
One last thing on the lack of respect shown for Novak - the NBC broadcast in English had the two worst tennis announcers of all time, which made the audio during the live match virtually unlistenable, and rewatching Novak's crowning achievement lacks the pleasure that it should have had the McEnroe brothers been giving the task to do the commentary. These two announcers on the NBC Peacock broadcast had no analysis of strategy, shot selection, serve selection and placement, service speed (Alcaraz was down several MPH from Wimbledon), second serve strategy, Alcaraz's incredibly deep return of serve position from previous matches. What in the world were these 2 people doing on the broadcast. They called Novak "Nadal". They said the lack of a Gold Medal was the "biggest" hole in his resume when it was the only hole in his resume. They never explained the new graphics on Reaction Time, they never mentioned service speed in MPH despite this being an American NBC broadcast. They confused cross-court passing shots with down-the-line passing shots. The errors were never-ending... Perhaps we can get the McEnroe brothers to overdub it with real tennis insight and commentary.
@@sohailhines John M has always praised Novak as the best returner ever, and has for the past few years awarded the Goat to Novak, its Jim Courier (since he was a clay court guy) that always favored Nadal but even he has now toned that down.
-Alright Novak 24 Grand Slams, 3Career Grand Slams, 7 ATP Finals, 40 Masters, 2 Career Golden Masters, 72 Big titles, 2 Big titles sweep, 428 - 8 years in total Weeks #1, ... , and now OG #1... Novak Djokovic: " Not too bad "! :D
Funny how Djokovics' loss to Del Potro in 2016 was similar to his win over Alcaraz in 2024 Both matches had the same score: 7-6 7-6 with no breaks of serve. Except one was 1st round and the other was a final. Oh and Djokovic lost in 2016 but won in 2024.
Indeed. Had Alcaraz won one more point in the first tie break making it 7-6 (7-4); 7-6 (7-2) it would have been the exact same score. Great irony of fate.
Not going to lie, I was certain he would win in 2016, he was in the best form of his life, I always think 2015-2016 Novak was almost unplayable, yet the unthinkable happened and lost to Delpo in the 1st round. That one stung. But as the gladiator he is, he finally did it, against all odds, when almost everyone thought he was done and out in terms of Olympics.
I just can't wrap my head around it lol. How can the greatest tennis player of all time be so bad at such a simple shot ? Boris Becker said Nole has the worst smash in the top 100
@@nikhils2381 hmm, wonder why nobody has been able to capitalize on this worst shot weakness while the man keeps winning grand slam after grand slam now at *24 grand slams* , all with a horrible overhead. Just amazing what your deep analysis has revealed. Did you happen to count number of overheads won vs. lost? Impressive.
@@sohailhines I didn't do any analysis whatsoever lol. All I'm saying is I can't understand how he's improved every other part of his game so much but not his overhead.
@@sohailhines bro first of all, chill. i am jk. secondly, if you actually followed djoko career since 2007, you will know that missing easy overheads has cost him dearly in several matches. the 2008 olympics semis against Nadal and 2023 wimby final vs alcraz are just to name a few. but anyways, nole still the undisputed GOAT
You *may* have a point but how can one prove that it was those exact overhead points that cost him the entire match? I've been watching Djokovic for over twenty years and have not once had anyone say that his overhead is weak. Even Ivanišević as his coach said the Nole was never satisfied with aspects of his game even after I. approved during practice. Which is to say that Djokovic would already have worked to improve it *even if it had been a shortcoming* in 2007/2008. The comment above suggests that he's *still* weak in that aspect and I cannot agree.
I don't understand why the number of ATP titles is even counted and why Grand Slam titles and 250-point ATP tournament titles are equated. That makes no sense. After all, different levels of ATP tournaments award different numbers of ATP points for titles. How can one equate titles from 250-point tournaments to those from 2000-point Grand Slams? Comparing ATP titles only makes sense if you compare the total number of ATP points earned from those titles. Of course, Novak is far, far ahead of Nadal and Federer in that respect.
Funny! But Rune only showed promise for a few tournaments last year. I thought he'd dominate too but he never got to where folks expected him to win. But he's having a much worse season this year for sure.
All titles, ...3 records left, a tie in Us Open and Wimbledon and 109 titles. Thats all he left to play. But that is not necesary, but he can try break that too.
Another win in RG would make him the only player to win all slams at least four times in history. Another win in monte carlo would make him the only player to win all masters at least 3 times in history. I would prefer him to secure these records before retirement as one of those fans who are so obsessed with seeing him succeeding in life! LOL
I am just guessing that novak strategy on olympic final is playing good served and hope his served not broken by alcaraz and hope win the tie break from the beginning.. with the injury he had and his gamble win
""I am going to give Spain what it wants, the gold" "Get ready... for the show that I am going to give you" - CARLOS ALCARAZ, 2 days before the Olympics final. 😂 He was "show"-ed alright...... Absolutely legendary performance from Djokovic.
Carlos was foolish with that comment... I don't mind confidence, but he was too cocky and couldn't back it up! He learnt a lesson there! Novak always helps his rivals grow 😊😅
@@ribtickle4143 Alcaraz was so traumatized after the Olympics final that he couldn't even do a proper interview with Corretja - literally had a breakdown. so that's a NO. Djokovic said clearly that the Olympics was the big goal for this year and he "put on a show"!
@@ribtickle4143you know, Grand Slams might be important than Olympics for other players, but for Novak, this was the only title which he wanted so badly and there comes the motivation for Novak which made him unbeatable....
lets not forget, literally everyone and everywhere in the “western world” he was being bullied, not being allowed to play because he was a threat to general public health, where i see that he is a man of principles…. he was expelled from Australia, not being allowed to enter USA, disqualified for an incident where others made even worse incidents than him…. imagine if without all that nonsense he was allowed to play?! to reach what he did required a lot, lot, lot of sacrifice, something that most of the elite sport people couldn’t do. Carlitos has a great potential to surpass Nole, but as of the moment he is to young to judge. Its not about his game, but its about his ability to stay fit long enough and thats why Novak is best athlete of all time. he simply moves borders of what is possible…. I will give bold statement now. he will win at least 3 more grand slams and 3 more 1000s, only thing that can stops him is his body (people eventually age) and injustice. God bless that guy, and i am so happy that he belongs to my people, we are so lucky to have him among us! He stands next to Tesla and Pupin as one of the greatest Serbian ever to live! If you want to describe Serbian people thats where you need to look. Look at Djokovic!
If one considers 4 Majors, 9 Masters 1000, and one each of ATP year ending titles, ATP no. Ranking and Olympics gold - 16 titles, Novak is the only one to have ticked all 16 boxes.
He lost last year final Wimbledon so cheap! Alcaraz was playing good, but he was so much lucky that is insane!!! Novak got him, he could win easily and winning All 4GS in the same year, Grand Slam, anyway… Even like this”Not to bad”!!!😂😂😂
He's been our (Serb) GOAT for a few years now. I have no expectations, no demands, nothing to ask from Novak anymore. If he wants to get one more Monte Carlo, maybe one more Wimby or RG - OK. We'll celebrate with him. But I/Serbs mostly hope that he's happy, healthy and at peace. Good luck Nole, whatever you decide to do. And thanks.
Nobody knows which one is the best version of Novak!!!? If he has body and movement from 2011 and IQ and experience from 2023, that will be scary!!!😱 He was so good back then, he should have start beating Rafa at RG easily back from 2014,2015… But he was so pumped, that his desire to destroy Rafa there was burning him, and cost loses when he was obviously better player!!! Rafa was just calm, defending himself, he was lucky 🍀 as well, to much lucky, and he get away 🏃 i victories!!! But he paid everything in total!!! Novak is officially Goat 🐐 of tennis and the Greatest athlete of this millennium!!! Novak- Ali🐐🐐🏆🏆🎾🏅👋🐐🐐

@@scottwarren4998 it wasn’t all clay. Nadal has 11 wins against Djokovic at grand slams. 3 were outside Roland Garros. The 2 really big ones are those 2 US Open finals. But there is no denying that 8 of 11 Nadal major wins against Djokovic are indeed on the clay courts of Roland Garros. And they played more at Roland Garros than the other 3 majors combined. This tells me that Djokovic always beat everyone else but fell to Nadal at Roland Garros yet Nadal could only a few times even get to the Djokovic match at the other 3 majors 🤷♂️
@@GaryLyons mostly on clay then, why are you arguing against me when i am protecting nadal for once?
I want to compliment you on your refreshing analysis on tennis. You showed up on a my feed several weeks back, and I have come to thoroughly enjoy your analysis. You have a refreshing even-keel, thorough insight into the game. I played in college years back. I love tennis. I find your observations to be so insightfuly, yet without ego. Perfect. Keep it up.
I cried after final, what a man
Best coverage of Nole on the platform. You earn a sub my man! 🐐
He has completed Tennis. Now it's just side quests that are left.
Bro please make a video about delpotro
He is criminally underrated
He was one of the biggest rising star back in 2009
Injuries ruined a potentially legendary career
Casper Ruud has made more slam finals than Del Potro 😲
@@huzcer you have no idea how good delpo was in 2009
Honestly, this is my favorite win of Novak’s career. Anybody who’s done some sort of competitive sport over the course of a few years knows that there’s that one event you always, inexplicably, can’t seem to come through with. The Olympics were that for Djokovic, and seeing him finally pull through was the icing on the cake of the GOAT’s career.
I would've picked Alcaraz to win the match but Djokovic proved any doubters wrong again. Guy still has it. I'm actually a little surprised it took until this point in his career to get the Gold given how dominant he'd been in his younger years but that's sports.
Exactly. That is sports.. No control on what will happen
Crazy.
THE ONE in a 8 billion+++s,THE GOAT DJOKOVIC!💪
This is a great analysis! Awesome video!
You should do a video on the statistics of every top ten player heading into the US Open after Cincinnati
I was waiting your video man😊
There's no big three. Just one G.O.A.T! ♥️
Right! The "big two" left behind by the GOAT :)
Think about it, Novak now won arguably the best 2 set match ever (this Olympics final), the best 3 set match ever (Cincinnati final 2023) and the best 5 set match ever (AO 2012 final). His greatness also happens to give the best matches 🐐
And yet some idiot fans will claim that his brand of tennis is boring.
And also probably the most heartbreaking match in History for all long time tennis fans - the Wimbledon 2019.
I still see a lot of people having war flashbacks of that day
@@jeffreyferiguraii1865 I agree lol, I was more of a Roger fan at that time but I couldn't watch the match live (THANKFULLY) now with time I appreciate Novak winning it haha
@@ralyman2IT IS!!!! Like watching a robot or a cyborg programmed to play tennis! 🤖
very good show. Love it.
I was a big federer fan who didnt like Nadal or Djoko but I am getting tired of Fed's arrogance and product sales... he is constantly selling stuff: glasses, book, documentaries, laver cup, shoes etc... getting boring. and he never congratulate others (at least publicly). Whereas Nadal comes across as so humble and nice, and Djoko, even if i dont love the character, is simply the best athlete in the world, all sports included. His mental and strength and technic, and the fact that he won everything in his sport is simply phenomenal. Bravo!
when the young guns come up, either win or lost to joker, joker always say good thing like you are going to get grand slam. i don't remember fed ever said that. it's true that both fed and joker don't want other to surpass them, but joker still maintain a better attitude. maybe he is a nicer person.
@@yili9725 I remember Federer telling that to Murray, either after he defeated him in AO or Wimbledon.
And he also won multiple of those with so many hostile crowds makes it more amusing
GOLDEN GOAT 🥇🥇🥇🥇🐐🐐🐐🐐
Full credit to Alcaraz for taking the second set into TB. Novak's Beast Mode was on soon after the first set. Had it been any other player, it was at the least 6-2 cakewalk for Novak. Well done, Alcaraz! You have a great future. 👍
Well, as far as Novak goes what else is left to say? He's simply the 🐐
Wonderful summary.
Court-side tennis, could you make a video on how good was David Ferrer actually because I loved watching him play.
For me this Finale was so awesome. The whole quality of the Game was a Masterpiece of Tennis. No Player lost his service game in the whole match. I have never seen this before. If someone really loves Tennis, you will love to see this Game. It was a declaration of love for this Sport.
Thank you for such insightful video. Well done, indeed!
Lovely video, so well articulated
The Olympic Gold medal was never the criteria for greatness. In tennis, winning Grand Slams were the only criteria of greatness ... rightly because of the format (best of five) and number of participants (128)... however few people (Rafa fans) started giving weight to Olympic gold... The only medal on which they were dancing...BUT now NO more dancing....
Novak has destroyed Rafa, Federer and their egos too...
Rafa somehow managed to congratulate with a heavy heart' but the feeder (No voice) i guess he has become speechless...😅
Very well stated. The GOAT argument was settled long before the Olympics.
Yeah, I'm loving it. Suddenly last year Rafa fans suddenly started treating the Olympics as if it was the world cup of tennis or something. That clearly pushed Novak a bit mroe to win gold, and he made sure to milk it for all its worth. :D
Novak hasn't destroyed anything except class in tennis!! 😂
@@IGuess... well I'm not sure how you quantify class so it's pretty subjective. What's not subjective is Novak's *destruction* of just about every tennis record set by other players. What do you have to say about that *destruction* ?
Love this channel❤
Thank you so much🙏🏼
The GOAT. So happy for him, love the guy.
Thank you, professional analysis, I always enjoy watching you. Keep your great work.
Simply GOAT
Great video!
GOAT. ❤
🐐
Novak fans:
_"Djokovic is the GOAT. He beat every record out there."_
Fedal fans:
_"He doesn't have the Olympics gold medal."_
*Novak wins the Olympics gold medal.*
Fedal fans:
_"It's not just about the titles and numbers. Djokovic is NOT the GOAT! and he NEVER will be!"_
Novak Djokovic is the indisputable GOAT and Fedal fans are so angry because they have ABSOLUTELY NO ARGUMENT against it.
You just cannot help but laugh at their stupidity, but also be happy and smile for Novak and all that he has accomplished.
They're still holding out for Federer to come back and add some grand slam wins to his record :)
😂😂
No we're waiting on Novak to retire so his toxic fans can find another sport to ruin
@@IGuess... Because Novak still has potential...
@@IGuess... sadly for non Novak fans, his records will live on long, *long* after he retires :)
DJOKO : un homme exceptionnel.❤👍😃
One last thing on the lack of respect shown for Novak - the NBC broadcast in English had the two worst tennis announcers of all time, which made the audio during the live match virtually unlistenable, and rewatching Novak's crowning achievement lacks the pleasure that it should have had the McEnroe brothers been giving the task to do the commentary.
These two announcers on the NBC Peacock broadcast had no analysis of strategy, shot selection, serve selection and placement, service speed (Alcaraz was down several MPH from Wimbledon), second serve strategy, Alcaraz's incredibly deep return of serve position from previous matches. What in the world were these 2 people doing on the broadcast.
They called Novak "Nadal". They said the lack of a Gold Medal was the "biggest" hole in his resume when it was the only hole in his resume.
They never explained the new graphics on Reaction Time, they never mentioned service speed in MPH despite this being an American NBC broadcast. They confused cross-court passing shots with down-the-line passing shots.
The errors were never-ending...
Perhaps we can get the McEnroe brothers to overdub it with real tennis insight and commentary.
John M. has mostly been quite reluctant to put Djokovic at the top. Only recently have I seen him sheepishly admit it but never enthusiastically.
@@sohailhines John M has always praised Novak as the best returner ever, and has for the past few years awarded the Goat to Novak, its Jim Courier (since he was a clay court guy) that always favored Nadal but even he has now toned that down.
-Alright Novak 24 Grand Slams, 3Career Grand Slams, 7 ATP Finals, 40 Masters, 2 Career Golden Masters, 72 Big titles, 2 Big titles sweep, 428 - 8 years in total Weeks #1, ... , and now OG #1...
Novak Djokovic: " Not too bad "! :D
Niente di particolare
good video !
DIVNO, BRAVO, NOLE NAJBOLJI SI ZAUVEK PRVI NA SVETU TENISER I ZLATNI HRABRI SRBIN
Legend
Novak Djokovic is The Greatest Of All Time 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
Funny how Djokovics' loss to Del Potro in 2016 was similar to his win over Alcaraz in 2024
Both matches had the same score: 7-6 7-6 with no breaks of serve.
Except one was 1st round and the other was a final.
Oh and Djokovic lost in 2016 but won in 2024.
Twice as many break points in the more recent match and all saved (14).
Indeed. Had Alcaraz won one more point in the first tie break making it 7-6 (7-4); 7-6 (7-2) it would have been the exact same score. Great irony of fate.
We should not forget, that Carlos is the only player who lost the Olympic Finale without losing one Service game ;-)
Not going to lie, I was certain he would win in 2016, he was in the best form of his life, I always think 2015-2016 Novak was almost unplayable, yet the unthinkable happened and lost to Delpo in the 1st round. That one stung. But as the gladiator he is, he finally did it, against all odds, when almost everyone thought he was done and out in terms of Olympics.
good video
Djokovic the GOAT, no doubt at all
Amazing Novak completed tennis !
okay BUT we need a video on Qinwen Zheng
The best and the best player novak
0:38 Djokovic's biggest weakness is the easiest shot in Tennis. 😂
I just can't wrap my head around it lol. How can the greatest tennis player of all time be so bad at such a simple shot ? Boris Becker said Nole has the worst smash in the top 100
@@nikhils2381 hmm, wonder why nobody has been able to capitalize on this worst shot weakness while the man keeps winning grand slam after grand slam now at *24 grand slams* , all with a horrible overhead. Just amazing what your deep analysis has revealed. Did you happen to count number of overheads won vs. lost? Impressive.
@@sohailhines I didn't do any analysis whatsoever lol. All I'm saying is I can't understand how he's improved every other part of his game so much but not his overhead.
@@sohailhines bro first of all, chill. i am jk. secondly, if you actually followed djoko career since 2007, you will know that missing easy overheads has cost him dearly in several matches. the 2008 olympics semis against Nadal and 2023 wimby final vs alcraz are just to name a few. but anyways, nole still the undisputed GOAT
You *may* have a point but how can one prove that it was those exact overhead points that cost him the entire match? I've been watching Djokovic for over twenty years and have not once had anyone say that his overhead is weak. Even Ivanišević as his coach said the Nole was never satisfied with aspects of his game even after I. approved during practice. Which is to say that Djokovic would already have worked to improve it *even if it had been a shortcoming* in 2007/2008. The comment above suggests that he's *still* weak in that aspect and I cannot agree.
I think you owe Gil Gross some royalties for the break point breakdown ;)
I don't understand why the number of ATP titles is even counted and why Grand Slam titles and 250-point ATP tournament titles are equated. That makes no sense. After all, different levels of ATP tournaments award different numbers of ATP points for titles. How can one equate titles from 250-point tournaments to those from 2000-point Grand Slams? Comparing ATP titles only makes sense if you compare the total number of ATP points earned from those titles. Of course, Novak is far, far ahead of Nadal and Federer in that respect.
That's unique !
Nole the best 🐐❤️
We need a “it’s time we talk about Holger Rune”
Funny! But Rune only showed promise for a few tournaments last year. I thought he'd dominate too but he never got to where folks expected him to win. But he's having a much worse season this year for sure.
All titles, ...3 records left, a tie in Us Open and Wimbledon and 109 titles. Thats all he left to play. But that is not necesary, but he can try break that too.
Another win in RG would make him the only player to win all slams at least four times in history.
Another win in monte carlo would make him the only player to win all masters at least 3 times in history.
I would prefer him to secure these records before retirement as one of those fans who are so obsessed with seeing him succeeding in life! LOL
🥇🐐
🌞🥇🏆🎾bravo Novak Djokovich👏👏👏😀
I am just guessing that novak strategy on olympic final is playing good served and hope his served not broken by alcaraz and hope win the tie break from the beginning.. with the injury he had and his gamble win
He did not celebrate like he just won a grand slam. He never celebrated a slam like this.
""I am going to give Spain what it wants, the gold" "Get ready... for the show that I am going to give you" - CARLOS ALCARAZ, 2 days before the Olympics final. 😂 He was "show"-ed alright...... Absolutely legendary performance from Djokovic.
Carlos was foolish with that comment... I don't mind confidence, but he was too cocky and couldn't back it up! He learnt a lesson there! Novak always helps his rivals grow 😊😅
Oh well, he thrashed Djoke at Wimbledon AGAIN and that means more than the Olympics tbh
@@ribtickle4143I think if u ask Novak and Carlos they wld both tell u the olympics was more important. As wld 90% of other players
@@ribtickle4143 Alcaraz was so traumatized after the Olympics final that he couldn't even do a proper interview with Corretja - literally had a breakdown. so that's a NO. Djokovic said clearly that the Olympics was the big goal for this year and he "put on a show"!
@@ribtickle4143you know, Grand Slams might be important than Olympics for other players, but for Novak, this was the only title which he wanted so badly and there comes the motivation for Novak which made him unbeatable....
🐐 ❤❤🎉
I think he'll be motivated to get revenge against Carlos at Wimbledon.
Best tennis player ever!
He’s got at least two more slams in him, and he’ll play till he’s 40 to make sure he grabs another.
Absolutely awesome video mate, well done! IDEMO NOLE! 💪💪🫶👑🥇🏆😁
lets not forget, literally everyone and everywhere in the “western world” he was being bullied, not being allowed to play because he was a threat to general public health, where i see that he is a man of principles…. he was expelled from Australia, not being allowed to enter USA, disqualified for an incident where others made even worse incidents than him…. imagine if without all that nonsense he was allowed to play?!
to reach what he did required a lot, lot, lot of sacrifice, something that most of the elite sport people couldn’t do.
Carlitos has a great potential to surpass Nole, but as of the moment he is to young to judge. Its not about his game, but its about his ability to stay fit long enough and thats why Novak is best athlete of all time. he simply moves borders of what is possible…. I will give bold statement now. he will win at least 3 more grand slams and 3 more 1000s, only thing that can stops him is his body (people eventually age) and injustice.
God bless that guy, and i am so happy that he belongs to my people, we are so lucky to have him among us! He stands next to Tesla and Pupin as one of the greatest Serbian ever to live!
If you want to describe Serbian people thats where you need to look. Look at Djokovic!
BULLIED??!?! Your idol LITERALLY showed up on the scene making fun of the other players like the 🤡 he is!!! GTFOH! You guys are in a cult
He has won everything that there is to win in tennis !
5:23 Why did you make such a big jump there? Djokovic defeated Medvedev in some other grand slam final later on.
The narrator sounds just like Federer😂
If one considers 4 Majors, 9 Masters 1000, and one each of ATP year ending titles, ATP no. Ranking and Olympics gold - 16 titles, Novak is the only one to have ticked all 16 boxes.
He lost last year final Wimbledon so cheap! Alcaraz was playing good, but he was so much lucky that is insane!!! Novak got him, he could win easily and winning All 4GS in the same year, Grand Slam, anyway… Even like this”Not to bad”!!!😂😂😂
He's been our (Serb) GOAT for a few years now. I have no expectations, no demands, nothing to ask from Novak anymore.
If he wants to get one more Monte Carlo, maybe one more Wimby or RG - OK. We'll celebrate with him.
But I/Serbs mostly hope that he's happy, healthy and at peace.
Good luck Nole, whatever you decide to do.
And thanks.
🏆💖 No-Vac 💖 is the GOAT 🐐, 🥇the best of the best 🎾🏆
Nobody knows which one is the best version of Novak!!!? If he has body and movement from 2011 and IQ and experience from
2023, that will be scary!!!😱 He was so good back then, he should have start beating Rafa at RG easily back from 2014,2015… But he was so pumped, that his desire to destroy Rafa there was burning him, and cost loses when he was obviously better player!!! Rafa was just calm, defending himself, he was lucky 🍀 as well, to much lucky, and he get away 🏃 i victories!!! But he paid everything in total!!! Novak is officially Goat 🐐 of tennis and the Greatest athlete of this millennium!!! Novak- Ali🐐🐐🏆🏆🎾🏅👋🐐🐐

Djoko and Nadal benefited greatly from court homogenisation.
Same for Roger at Wimbledon. Otherwise big servers could have been a big problem. And i am,a Fed fan.
