If u mean potential to unlock goat level, its not like that I believe. Djokovic is far above top 100 average level. Even in practice he is too consistent and he is much more elastic lol than other players

@@robinsoncruise2228 a lot of players have the potential Djokovic has been struggling lately against the younger generation atp finals and previous tournaments before!

@@tennisparisbrothers8001 oh sure, those next gen guys I agree completely, Tsitsipas, Zverev, Medvedev, Sinner, even Rublev Berrettini and Ugo maybe Thiem too with a later peak

If only Roger had the mental game to play those match points like a normal point.

@@sebucwerd you could say the same to Gaël Monfils... he had done some matches like this with match point where he would not play it "normally"....

@@andrejmitrovic4958 Thanks for contributing nothing.

That finger

Yup! Almost 10 years anniversary from this and already up 17 grand slams from that! LOL And in all likelyhood will move to 18 since 2011 Wimbledon! Crazy!...

He just got lucky because of the conditions… nadal doesn’t play well when the conditions are heavy…

@@itsmeprasad1987 He also got lucky in all other 29 matches, that he won against him in his career, including 7 on clay and one more at RG in particular!...I like you ClayDull morons, so predictable!

@@itsmeprasad1987 keep making excuses

@@itsmeprasad1987 Also Nadal got lucky in that 2013 semis, because Djokovic had brainfart moment on smash and murdered his chances of winning the match he had no bussiness losing!...Got lucky once again in 2014 final, when rain interrupted the flow of Djokovic's game, he was leading and felt likely to get control of the match if not for the stupid rain! Talking about getting lucky! How many times Nadla was lucky because rain helped him and saved his ass?! Don't ever dare to call Novak lucky!

Why would they apologize? They didn't know, nor did he.

@@tomr6955 he didn't know if he was faking? If you are not sure about something - you don't accuse. If you made false accusations - you apologize...

@@tomr6955 it's still mind-boggling to me how no doctor ever made an allergy test with novak.. whenever i went to my physician and complained about certain issues, he always had that on his list. just testing novaks lung function would've implied there are some issues, i mean he was at the MD all the time, it's crazey.

@@slXD100 celiac isn't discovered with an allergy test. it is very difficult to diagnose.

@@slXD100 food allergies can't be diagnosed with medical tests. technology isn't there yet. way too many false positives and false negatives with the tests that are out there. basically a waste of time. if you think you have a problem, you have to just slowly eliminate one food at a time. it's a pain in the ass, i should know....went through all that myself. wheat,eggs,soy, chocolate. ugh.

@@calvin9187 I think this year will be his peak and he will probably best his 2011 self, since he managed to defeat a healthy Nadal in RG. Of course, we'll see how he performs in the Wimbledon this year.

@@TerminatorZXY And, now we have seen how he has performed at Wimbledon. He won. Credit where it is due, he really turned his career into something historic.

yeah that win gave him momentum going into the 2011 tennis season.. but another big thing that played a part was experience.. after playing in the tour for some years.. the experience he built up helped him go to the next level! By the way, the videos on the playlist on my channel!

Everytime Nole comes up on the feed, I get scared that it's another hating video 😂 thankfully I was wrong this was refreshing

@@nemanjaradovanovic8033 lmaooo same.

Ikr

@@nemanjaradovanovic8033 The more people hate him the stronger he becomes.

@@ognjencorovic I don't think it works that way. Feeding on negative energy can take you only that far.

I wonder how people would react now if another did it. What if from the start of 2022 Stefanos Tsitsipas just starting beating Djokovic every time, and won everything? It would shake the sport up big time

@@ianrobinson4200 sure right...I have to admit, we do need to see some new faces like the women side. There's so much more new women champions to root for. I won't be surprised if the women started drawing bigger crowds than the men tour.

Legit x2. Plus the editing was amazing!

@@Smileater always

Novak is dangerous. He thinks for himself, and sometimes even dares to SAY what he thinks....Can't have that, cane we?

@@joemarshall4226 ok .....

my thoughts

A suprise to be sure, but a welcome one

I know, I think a lot of tennis fans (myself included) don't necessarily like to admit that Djokovic is pretty much the GOAT because we enjoy Federer or Nadal's exciting play style, but when you look at the stats, Djokovic is almost the indisputable GOAT. I'm not saying that Djoko has a really boring play style necessarily, I think that Federer and Nadal are just really easy people to like haha

@@billybob7177 You are right. Novak's playstyle isn't as exciting as Rafa's and Roger's. For me, Novak is the GOAT

I totally agree...

he has now :)

I would still say that Nadal was the one blown off the court by Djokovic that year. Federer was always competitive against him until 2016. He beat him in RG and had MP in US. Even in 2018-2019, there were some nailbiters. Nadal on the other hand hasn't taken a single set in HC since 2013 against Novak and never beaten him on grass as well I think. Clay is the reason that the h2h is still looking balanced.

Just to add some context, Djokovic was no.3 for a few years in the late 2000s and was seen as a one slam wonder. He was often regarded as someone who would never be on par with Federer and Nadal (even Murray was considered to have a better career than him at the time). However, the tide of change occurred in the 2010 US Open, where he stunned Federer in the semis and lost to Nadal in the finals. I think that greatly boosted his confidence, along with his newly refined gluten-free diet. That was the trigger for his 2011 season, which is widely regarded as one of the greatest seasons in tennis history, along with Federer's 2006 season. Novak won 3 out of 4 slams, which is a very rare and difficult feat to pull off. To summarise a few points about what made Novak's 2011 season incredible: - Had a 10-1 record against both Federer and Nadal in 2011, which was a COMPLETE 180 from the last few years where he got defeated by them often. - Started the year off with a 41 match winning streak up until Roland Garros. - 6-0 against Nadal in finals, including both tournament and GS finals. (Beat Nadal twice on clay, which is a Herculean task to pull off, especially when Nadal was at the top of his game back then. INSANE). - 70-6 win loss record in 2011 - 21-4 record (80.4%) against the top 10 - No.1 and 5 masters titles, which is incredible. Djokovic in 2011 was the most aggressive I have ever seen him, compared to now where he mostly counterpunches (but I still enjoy it). Djokovic was on a completely different level in 2011 (both physcially and mentally) as he completed turned the tables on Federer, Nadal and everyone who doubted his potential ❤

@@viveknamikaze761 Actually Nadal did beat the joker on grass, Wimbledon 2007 I think, but it was a walkout. 🤷‍♂️

@@calvin9187 also his (as he calls her) "tennis mother" Jelena Genčić in an 2010 interview said that he only has one or two years left to win wimbledon or to be "ran over" by upcoming young talent, that he has to go all in. I believe this also boosted him a lot to go "all in" and be "all win" 😂 RIP to Jelena Genčić 🙏

@@viveknamikaze761 true, i think Roger and Novak are alot more complete players than Nadal, just look at h2h and titles on hard and grass.

He was all time tennis favorite way before

@@Segaa2 Really? How far back we talking about? When Djokovic had a reputation for having poor conditioning & often forfeit matches. Back when Andy Roddick was making fun of Djokovic to the press, I doubt he was on your list then.

@@blue-phoenix115 That was 10 years ago.

Probably of all time

@@joshuajay2886 Definitely.

Hello fellow Advaitavadin 😇

Agreed. Sampras 90s Federer 00s Djokovic 10s ??????? 20s

@@aesir1ases64 20s will most likely be zverev/mercedes/tsitsipas era, the big 3 if the next gen if you will

Good analysis, even today Djokovic still smashes rackets on occasion, but he uses that energy towards increasing his thirst to win rather than letting it distract him

@@CULTTENNIS they sure know how to manage and channel those energies don't they? Proper acceptance, redirecting, transforming. They've technically learned to master themselves on court better than many.

You find inner peace through self-acceptance. He observes, accepts and lets his thoughts go

@@rohhhann sorry. What I meant was the one where someone tries to find tranquility and tries to block things out. It's the one that I'm familiar with since a lot of people like to tell others to block it out, don't think about it, just quiet the mind. Yada yada. Basically old mumbo jumbo that people like to say like, "Don't be nervous." "Just believe in yourself." Outdated phrases and such. I'm still not sure whether you really need a state of inner peace, as I'm sure all you need is for your mind to be stable, and fighting with yourself, be it thoughts or emotions is generally counterproductive. But if what I described is what you described as inner peace, then sure. I just really don't buy the whole zen thing or whatchamcallit. I doubt I would call the mental state required "inner peace".

Nerves is a matter of age too Even Nadal seems to choke a lot these days Even Novak is losing several matches he woudlnt have a few years ago No one can win against time

Love your support :)

@@Phurngirathaana Murray was considered to have a better career than Novak or more potential than him in the late 2000s. That's how gifted Murray was back then. Then Novak went through a very rapid transformation in 2011 and most opinions/consensus had changed by then

@@PretentiousStuff 20 incoming I guess

4 slams in a row, even Fedal can't even accomplish... honestly i thought he'd go on for at least 6 in a row, but after winning 4, mho, he felt like it was his peak, and lost his motivation after achieving such an accomplishment... and then injury happened... and lots of people wrote him off....then got his mojo back in wimby 2018

It’s channels like this that I’ve cancelled cable. Nothing compares

That’s what this whole channel is about! Love comments like this 😛

I don't know. They look pretty strong to me. Thiem especially recently. Medvedev is definitely getting stronger, although he has not as many encounters against Federer. Give them time. They have made some improvements. Especially mentally.

Thiem has been beating the big three consistently for the past couple of years and Medvedev beat both Nadal and Djokovic at the season finals last year. It's going to be interesting to see what happens this year.

For Federer Fans it was heartbreaking for Novak Fans it was awe inspiring.

@SP I agree.

@@zachmason868 Exactly. I'm a Novak fan and was elated, but I felt for Roger and his wife, who looked like she was re-living a nightmare for the third time......Roger didn't do anything wrong on those big points. Novak earned every single one of them. What are the odds of winning four points in a row against Roger Federer on his serve on a fast court when he is leading and playing well......1 in 100? 1 in 1000? Yet Novak did it to him three times in the final stages of Grand slam tournaments...it's really unbelievable.....(actually the fit time, the four points came on Novak's serve)

@@joemarshall4226 I’m not taking anything away from Nole, but Federer choked. He absolutely did things wrong on these big points. He was so passive. He was playing against himself. If you watch the stats at the end of the game, you can clearly see that Nole didn’t win, Roger lost

Na kraju je razbijen ko zvecka NOVAK KING

Didn't expect anything better from that yank yahoo 👎

Please Djokovic retired from a bunch of different reasons, do you think he is the only tennis player that feels bad on the court? The difference is the others accept the situation and respect the opponent and take it to end, even if they can barely move. Its a lack of respect towards your opponent to retire, its a lack of respect towards the crowd and the fans watching on tv, even amateurs that plays club level tennis know this. Unless you REALLY cant play, which has never been the case with Djokovic.

@@aesir1ases64 Give us an example and let’s discuss.

@@aesir1ases64 If you can’t breathe, you can’t play. You literally can’t play competitive tennis if you are eating foods that cause serious gut/lung inflammation. The inflammation during exertion is as debilitating as a full body cramp, with no way out of it, and you have to stop moving. It’s like a vise squeezing your lungs shut. Once Novak was diagnosed in 2010 and eliminated the sources of the inflammation, he went from retiring from matches to the extraordinary record wins in 2011.

Ahhh... good catch!! Whoops 😅

Novak is a great player but as a character he is a backstabbing, lying envious piece of shit. Its just that the more sucess he has the less people want to see it. He mobbed the best atp manager away because he wanted to impose his abysmal puppet. The list is endless

@@listrahtes Talking in broad terms doesn’t add to your tennis credibility. Nor does vile language.

@@vez7257 what "tennis credibility" ? we are on youtube. Everyone who really wants to know can read about how Kermode got mobbed out by backdoor politics or how Novak tried to divide the ATP players association with his PTPA power move. Novak is 100% about Novak and even made money with health harming esoteric quacks he promoted. A great player but as a character oh my. I will let you ride the high horse.

Novak was a better player.

@@ahmedrahim2500 Novak was better during the tiebreak. I don't think there really was much of a gap between those two during that amazing final.

@@flash012234 The reason Federer could not mentally match up to Djokovic and Nadal is simply because of “hunger”. Federer, after a certain time, was, and is now, just playing off his talent. You can’t pretend you’re “hungry”; it’s either there or not there. Federer is so talented as a tennis player, he could ride the wave of his talents for a long time cause he does not over-exert himself to win games; and he does it in style, that’s why he’s so loved by the fans. Unfortunately, when younger, hungry champions like Nadal and Djokovic, eager to write their legacies, show up, “talent” is not enough to beat them. You need to match them with “hunger” and “greed” for greatness, which Federer had already accomplished, and with style. Nadal and Djokovic will “eat dirt” to win a point; not Federer. If Federer can’t beat you “Federer-style”, ballet dancing all around the court, he doesn’t mind losing cause his legacy is already written and his “hunger” for success is already dead. Federer, by winning 20 grand slam titles, gave Nadal n Djokovic the standard and the heights to go at for greatness. If Federer came after Nadal n Djokovic, with the hunger of a young champion seeking greatness, with that kind of tennis talent, it would have been a completely different story cause he would have the “greed” and mental strength to back-up his tennis talent. Most young tennis players would would want to be like Federer cause he has variety n style in his game and could beat you in a lot of different ways. Nadal n Djokovic is all about fight which straddles on their hunger to pass the standards that Federer has set. Federer, since the last 10 yrs or so, was/is playing because he loves to play tennis and it shows when he’s playing.

I think even Djokovic himself will admit that he would never be as great or won as much if not by Federer and Nadal, Novak always claim they were the ones that made him become so great because Djokovic had to dig really deep to find a way to improve himself and surpass their level.

not djokovic for sure
