Do you agree with harmbes assertion that the biggest factor in Novak’s level of play is the allegations he’s suffering from long covid?
I'm not really in a position to answer that, beyond any Google search.
It looks like he caught Covid twice, once in 2020 and again in 2022. Harambe talks about long Covid in 2023.
Outside of the 2024 Olympics, it doesn't look like 2024 was a great year for Djokovic. A quick google search shows he started with a "mystery illness" and ended with "on-going injury".
Who wouldn’t want to be reminded daily of Djokovic’s brilliance.
I'm a much bigger fan of Federer. He's just way more charismatic and likeable and his play has much more style and elegance and breadth and intelligence and was always enjoyable to watch.
It seems in your quest for you to declare yourself the winner, you have lost the point.
Djokovic exercised his medical autonomy and he chose not to vaccinate, and this delayed his reaching some of these new milestones by years. (This pause in play also likely prolonged his career by the same couple years, as his body recovered from constant tournaments.) No one forced him to vaccinate, but society also has the right to decide who is a risk to society, and Djokovic was considered a walking health risk to the other players, tennis staff, journalists, photographers, and the general public, due to his own choices. He knew the rules and the consequences of his actions.
I don't know what this thread is about. Djokovic was never banned. Everyone made their choices and got what they wanted.
Well put.
There’s a cadre of posters on here who are desperate for me to admit my opinion about Chokervic is “wrong.”
They can’t let it go and I will happily engage them for my idle amusement.

Yup. Secret feverish illness and then well over a year of poor play and classic injuries. I’ll let others speculate I’ve delivered my diagnosis many times.
The professionals of that sport say otherwise. Thanks for volunteering that you are indeed the obtuse idiot.
The NBA GOAT debate is one of the classic debates in sports. Acting like it’s clear cut is silly. I recognize the strong opinions it evokes however, and am not offended that you crashed out a called me an “obtuse idiot.”

Ah, sports
I said the professionals of the sport. It is clear cut in that instance. Historically only one name has been at the top of that list every time. But, every obtuse idiot can have an opinion. It doesn’t matter at all though when compared to those who have competed in the league.

Untrue. There’s a clear debate, speculate as BronBron continues to demonstrate impressive longevity in an era of intense talent and competition.

Lol they’re within 3 percentage points on a recent poll of NBA players.
So what you’re saying is what I said is verifiable truth? And the gap narrows as time marches forward, just as expected. But 100%, you’re personally verifying that the goat debate has always been one sided and it’s always for one person.
Thank you for finally providing a verifiable link. Now work on the link I asked you for. Not the one I knew existed.

MJ is not the consensus GOAT. Not even close.
That being said, you must be giving more credence to Novak’s GOAT status. Longevity in an era of I tense talent and competition and all.

Ah, sports
There’s no debating who the GOAT tennis player is. What a performance. 38 year olds shouldn’t be this great.
Off the top of my head, there have only been about 6-7 guys in history to make the semis in the AO, French and Wimbledon in the same year. Even fewer since they went to three different surfaces.
We just witnessed a 38 year old do it. Incredible! 38! (He’s also done this 7 different years - more than #2 and #3 combined).

Truly a reminder that he is the GOAT.
Yep, but remember, if he doesn’t beat proven doper Sinner on Friday and win the entire tournament, then he definitely, without any shred of a doubt, must “still” be suffering from long Covid. Nevermind that no 38-year old has ever won a slam and nobody over 36 has won any in the modern era.

It’s not clear cut dude it’s almost a 50:50 split. I was right that there is an open and vigorous debate, especially among current professionals.
If we agree on that, then sure.
I’ll note that if you think 45% is “clear cut” and “inarguable” then surely you’d agree the efficacy of current COVID vaccines against infection are similarly clear cut!

Only an ignorant fool would believe such rubbish.
If the dude with the greatest tennis doping regime of all time, excuse me, “worlds healthiest man” can’t win, he’s not the GOAT.

Incorrect. Chokervics competition has been the gracefully aging but past their primes Fed, Nadal, and a few others. He has never had to face another GOAT contender at full strength. Weak era! Credit to him for capitalizing.
and “inarguable” then surely you’d agree the efficacy of current COVID vaccines against infection are similarly clear cut!
You come off a complete mainstream TV authority believer, probably buy into the Epstein didn't have a list, didn't blackmail anyone, and committed suicide.

Lol no Epstein thing was obviously spiked because Trump is on the list.

Bondi and Patel let us down.
another TACO moment
Maybe Trump is, but you better believe that Obama, Clinton, and many more "name" Democrats are on that list as well, or it would've come out before Trump's 2nd Admin. If it was considered a net loss to Democrats, and those who own both parties (and produced the Covid Hoax, and lockdowns, fetish masking, and "vaccine" solutions to a relatively ordinary flu year with a scary new name).
