Amazing. How does Novak Djokovic keep winning at age 38?

Great match. What a finish. Awesome to see the respect at the end from the two of them.

You not understand tennis. Djokovic is #6 ranked player in world at 38 years. That is good. Even if #6 at 28 he is good but he is 38. He is oldest ever #1.

It’s not #1. He used to be one. You guys cannot accept that I’m pointing out that he got worse. It’s not controversial!

I had no idea how rare it was to reach a semifinal in a grand slam until they showed that graphic. Reaching one at 38 puts him in a group of 5, but of course he's in a group of 1 already with everything he's done (24 open era slams if you want me to be specific). Maybe he isn't quite prime Novak anymore, but he's certainly still playing at a very high level

Impressive match for sure. Broken in the first match then held 18 straight service points. Great rally’s back and forth. Great to see two great players going back and forth. At this stage of his career, tennis fans are truly lucky to see him continuing on at such a high level.

LeBron. Brady. Both examples of aging with grace and maintaining success.

Slamming into a wall 18 months ago as world #1 with an unexplained “illness” and barely winning anything since. Less impressive. Possibly embarrassing.

Still definitely not insinuating Covid with illness in quotes. Nope. Harambe never mentioned it and you need to grow a thicker skin, even though he cannot shut up about Covid some five years on. Comical.

Absolutely nobody is saying that he isn’t *worse* than he was two years ago. They just attribute it to the reality of an aging star rather than a BS diagnosis that isn’t real. Just ask Zverev. Or does he suddenly have “long Covid” too?

Man, if Zverev can’t beat a 38-year old man suffering so immensely from long Covid, what hope does he have? He should quit. 😂🤡🤦‍♂️

Very great match. Djokovic unbeliveable. Zverev unbelievable. I was wrong in my prediction. Djokovic win. He play Skinner next. He cannot win this match. Skinner is very good. World number 1. I do not know what to do if Djokovic win match.

What an awesome match. Djokovic is unbelievable player.

We’ve established you already agree Chokervic is playing much worse.

Now we just disagree on why!

That’s progress! Meeting of the minds.

I didn’t think he could beat Zverev either. Especially not while suffering from “long Covid.” This is getting hysterical now.

Djokovic is an unbelievable player, an aging one admittedly, but still quite impressive. Most grand slam singles wins ever, Olympic gold medalist, and a pure blood. Dude is a winner!

Amazing indeed!

Djokovic faces #1 seed, Sinner next match. I think this is as far as Djokovic goes.

However, should he upset Sinner, I believe he has a decent shot to beat (most likely opponent) Alcaraz in the final. Alcaraz has added incentive, he wants revenge after losing Olympic gold to Novak last summer.

As for the clot shot retard Harambe, Djokovic never had "long Covid."

Djokovic is on to quarterfinal of French after another straight set win ( he has not dropped sets). It’s incredible that he’s able to this at an age of 38 against player 10-20 years younger than him.

It was his 100th win at French-second only to Rafael Nadal (who is also 38 but retired).

I don’t think he has much chance against Zverev but you never know with Djokovic. If he win it will be another incredible feat by GOAT.

His symptom profile is more parsimoniously explained by long Covid.

RFK just approved a new clot shot from Moderna, FYI
