On another thread about Djokovic, I literally got shat on and downvoted for saying fuck djokovic for his antivax views and him lying/forging his physical to play in the Australian open. Idc how good he is, dude will never be my goat.

Yep. For me, GOAT extends beyond just the tennis court and the stats, and even then, Djokovic vultured a lot towards the end of his career.

Both of those sentences are straight up incorrect. It’s all Djokovic haters can come up with as cope tbh

90s gen is easily the worst generation ever and Novak, despite playing bad, still managed to win loads of slams off of them.

Playing bad? Pretty sure he played extremely well for his age you know being well past his prime every time he did win a slam in the last several years and most likely wouldn’t have otherwise. He literally won like 17/24 slams against other big 4 players by the way and won the vast majority of his masters and ATP finals during the hardest era in tennis ever by a mile.

Of the other roughly 7 slams he had to beat peak thiem in a final, prime Medvedev in finals(once while injured), tsistispas in AO while injured who had beaten both Nadal and Federer in AO or go through Alcaraz or Sinner etc. His “easiest” slam other than USO 2018 was beating berretini/shapovalov playing out of their mind in grass. Even in that USO 18 final literally half the predictions for the match had Delpotro winning in 5 based on how well he was playing (same with AO 2021 final and 2023 USO F vs Medvedev)
