Literally, not a single shred of that is true. In the last 2 years he went from being 12 years past an ATP player's prime to 14 years. It must be "something else" (other than age)? LOL!
It’s no secret that those lesser, gossiping players are jealous. They gotta explain their failures on someone/something other than themselves!
You don’t have to believe me. Just passing along what those on the tour know. Probably more than the average distance runner?
I don't because those on the tour don't "know" what you're claiming and it doesn't even remotely fit with what IS known.
Then nothing anyone says here can be true. That includes you of course. So why are you here if you don't believe a word of what is said?
You lie about living in New Zealand; why wouldn't you lie about everything else?
Not actually true but you've just shown I was correct about you; you can't believe a word of what anyone says. Obviously, that also applies to you - nothing you say can be believed. That is certainly true.
@Armstronglivs from "suspect" to "only" to "quite likely" while also casting aspersions at all the other players. That only makes it even across the board: the 24yo doper should be able to defeat the 38yo alleged doper. Which still leaves Djokovic as perhaps one of the best athletes of all time, let alone tennis. Only the GOAT could do what he's doing at his advanced age. He was also coached by the hyper anti-doping Andy Murray who would have never jeopardized his credibility and integrity by coaching a doper. Their relationship was short because Murray is a jerk.
His skill as a player is the single biggest factor and that is only doubted by those with a non-tennis chip on their shoulder or the ignorant. Other greats have had longevity late in their career like Agassi and Federer. Djokovic is doing it because he's unique as a human and better at tennis.
I'll make it simpler for you: only a doper can do what he does at his age - especially if he is beating, as you say, doped 24 year olds. The argument isn't that he isn't skilled but is able to maintain the same athletic level as far younger players while he is aging. That's what enables him to remain competitive at 38 in a physically demanding sport.
Simply put: BS. According to your own argument, he shouldn't be able to beat those 24yo doped players - but he does. So the determining factor lies elsewhere. According to your own argument, the benefits would be insurmountable. You cannot have it both ways.
Besides, it would be valid to say that he ISN'T maintaining the same athletic level as the younger players. He's not as fast, doesn't have the same stamina, more prone to injury and all of that is showing. He's just the best there's ever been and he's on the decline. That aligns perfectly with his results.
sinner look in great form. i was at match game last night. very very good.
talk of novak djokovic dope is not right. people say this same about all great players in all sports always. great player not mean take drugs. just great player.

To simplify again for you: Djokovic has the skill level to match any player. But he also needs to match the best young players for strength, speed and endurance. His attrition game absolutely requires it. At 38 only doping will enable him to do that.

Doping is in tennis just as it is in running, weightlifting, bodybuilding and cycling.

Hearsay and personal opinion trump all other reasoning! Hooray for ignorance!!!

So you don't understand what pro tennis requires at Grand Slam level.
Except Djokovic gets injured in the back half of every other slam now. He absolutely cannot compete physically like he used to and probably doesn't have the fitness to finish the job anymore. This marks a signifigant departure for a player who was probably the fittest ever. Djokovic has suffered a decline in this area like everyone else, but he was starting from a different stratosphere, so he's still pretty damm fit, but he absolutely can't outlast guys like he used to. If you need an example look at how he won the 2012 Aussie open SF/F, he could not even come close to matching that today.

Its no secret that those lesser, gossiping players are jealous. They gotta explain their failures on someone/something other than themselves!
"What am I on? I'm on my bike!"
Exactly. Remember the first inkling, besides hearsay, that Armstrong doped was that “saddle sore cream” that had steroids in it and he got a pass? Kind of like Sinner.
As I said, there’s no point in picking on just one player in the top ten as almost all or all are doing whatever they can to gain an edge.

But Djokovic’s “dropoff” in the past two years is consistent with most tour pros beyond the age of 35. Still a phenomenal, healthy player.

Yup. The fittest ever to a house of cards. And why? Questions must be asked
