There’s no post hoc. Novak did not suffer from long covid prior to, during, or after the Olympics. You’ve yet to point to a single thing that would come close to being speculative, never mind proof, regarding your childish diatribe for partisan purposes. And you won’t now. You'll make some ridiculous excuse and just say I’m a genius instead. All bluster, no substance. Just like you’ve always been when it comes to something you clearly lack basic knowledge about.
I saw the evidence. I made the prediction. I laid it all out 18 months ago. I’ve been proven correct by his terrible play - his worst stretch ever. Vindication.
18 months ago…. Hmmm, so that would put us in September of 2023, right after or during which he won the US Open and right before he won the ATP Masters to close out the year in November. Well before he made yet another Wimbledon final and won Olympic gold. Ironically, the dude had provable, if inconsequential Covid right before his greatest run of tennis ever that year you falsely represent as the year you made your “prediction.”
What he didn’t have was a Covid infection, a medical opinion alluding to such, or an abnormal immunological panel during or after your first observation and claim of his long COVID in January 2024. But he definitely aged out like all the greats due by age 37. Your insincerity knows no bounds. It undermines your credibility on everything. You do not hold yourself to the same logic and proof constraints that you hold everyone else to, which is comical. Nobody respects you because you haven’t earned anybody’s respect. You’ve only demanded it, speaking of children. Great tactic. Way to win hearts and minds.

Oh yeah, he was openly unvaxxed which should increase our prior of long COVID. I completely forgot that 🤣
I had the knowledge. I made the prediction. Now I reap the spoils. (Seething antivaxxers)
Unfortunately you have no facts in your corner. Over the last 18 months Novaks play could only be looked down on by Novaks ghost of absolute dominance over the previous 5 years. He has four tournament wins, 2 being grand slams. Another one was an Olympic gold, his self described most important win of his career that was, the stated focus of his entire 2024 campaign. He has 3 grand slam semi finals and one qf he withdrew from for injury and subsequent surgery. (Ahhhhh soft tissue damage, covid!!!!!)
Undoubtedly the young ones are coming and at Novaks age( that’s just an excuse for long covid!!!!!!!) they are chipping away. Yet his brilliance in the Olympics proves he still has the acumen to outlast the kids. He’s played less often and I can only imagine he didn’t jump right back into it, rightfully so, post Olympics. His statistics have remained consistent over the last few years with no precipitous drop offs.
Yes, Sinner and Alcaraz are here to take over. Yes Novaks best days are undoubtedly behind him. And I’d say round about 100% of the board would say obviously. And it has nothing to with long covid.
Honestly, stepping back, in your heart of hearts you know this is a dumb stance you took. You know you’re making bad faith unintelligent arguments. You’re not that stupid to not realize it’s all a bad troll gone wrong. You refuse to have a reasonable look at things. You jump to absurd statements like an injury is proof of long covid. Or age has no bearing on athletic performance. It’s juvenile. You could have just said mea culpa post Olympics and no one would care. Literally no rational adult thinks Novaks play has anything to do with a long covid infection. But you stick to your irrational line of thinking with no meat on the bones to back up your factually incorrect statements.
I eagerly await your “I’m such a genius I just have to say watch him play” reply
3) he is not showing classic symptoms of long covid: injuries, mistakes, poor endurance, lapses in concentration.
Absent that we clearly have a disagreement and it may be best that we agree we will never find a common point which would change our minds.
Now that that’s cleared we can stay on topic here
1 Feel free to link to your prediction. It’s yours not mine
2 Over the last decade his win rate has hovered between 80 and 89%. 3 of those years were at 80%
3 This is where you prove you’re a joke. You want me to prove a double fault is not the product of long covid? Or that an injury can happen in sport without long covid? What are you even trying to get to with that last ridiculous bullet point. Concentration??? I don’t even know what to make of it and it is the epitome of your dishonesty and insincerity. You can argue anything you want and I’m sure you’re competent and capable. But with this. You’re just plain stupid. Unapologetically mentally incapable.

Also I think saying “absent that” is just the most pathetic thing you’ve ever uttered on this board. Absent my lack of proof I’m going to continue saying whatever I please.
It shouldn’t be “absent that”. It should state I have not provided one bit of evidence but I need to hold on to my delusions. Instead I’m asking you to prove that the backhand Novak hit down the line in Geneva last May can’t conclusively exclude long covid for Novaks long covid induced injury, long covid induced mistakes, long covid induced poor endurance or long covid induced lapse of concentration. It is so asinine and the perfect example of your hypocrisy and stupidity.

Since that point he has had his worst run of form ever. I called the top perfectly. Exactly what I’m trying to say.

You have it backwards, my friend.
I’ve clearly laid out my evidence. My genius prediction.
I’m asking for any counter evidence that doesn’t fit my 3 assertions above. You haven’t done that - rather you’ve gone off on the same rambling you usually do.
Deep breaths. Focus on the argument at hand. If you can’t, I’m perfectly willing to go our separate ways.
Happy to continue to coach you along otherwise. You’ve got this!

I have multiple times. It was made in December, I believe.
1 win since my prediction is the longest stretch of his career with only a single win.
This stretch of poor form has been repeatedly characterized by injuries, unusual mistakes, and poor stamina (multiple withdrawals). These are all characteristic of long COVID.
You can’t dispute these lines of evidence because they are facts.
you may disagree with the interpretation, but I have the support for my argument that I’ve always claimed I’ve had.
Again, you’re letting emotion get in the way of your reasoning. Acknowledge my points and continue.
There’s a boy named Harambe, head held so high, He’s got the answers, but they're always awry. Certain as the sunrise, he’s never in doubt, But every declaration somehow turns out… inside out!
Oh, Harambe, Harambe, living life bold, A stubborn soul with a heart of gold. Though the world shakes its head, he keeps up the fight, He’s always wrong, but convinced he’s right.
He swears he’s a genius, a master of skill, But his theories crash like a wagon downhill. The stars in his eyes lead him to the fray, But Harambe’s path finds a comical way.
Oh, Harambe, Harambe, living life bold, A stubborn soul with a heart of gold. Though the world shakes its head, he keeps up the fight, He’s always wrong, but convinced he’s right.
And then there’s 2600bro, his shadow so small, Mimicking Harambe, he echoes it all. No thoughts of his own, but loyal, no doubt, A faithful friend that just tags along the route.
Oh, Harambe, Harambe, living life bold, A stubborn soul with a heart of gold. Though the world shakes its head, he keeps up the fight, He’s always wrong, but convinced he’s right.
He says, “This time I know it! Trust me, you’ll see!” But fate winks and chuckles, “Not meant to be.” Yet there’s charm in his folly, a spark in his stride, For Harambe and 2600bro, side by side.
So here’s to Harambe, a tale we won’t forget, A boy who’s wrong, but no regret. With a twinkle of mischief and a heart that’s bright, He stumbles along, in his own spotlight.
There’s a scholar named Harambe, head held so high, MD, PhD from Virunga U's pride. Logic sharp as sunrise, rhetoric precise, Antivaxxers tremble, for his words suffice!
Oh, Harambe, Harambe, wisdom untold, Brilliant mind, with a heart that's bold. When ignorance rises, he shines a clear light, With science and reason, always in the right.
Claims spread wild, misinformation's fleet, Yet Harambe arrives, calm, measured, discreet. With facts as his shield, and truth as his blade, Every false narrative swiftly unmade.
Oh, Harambe, Harambe, wisdom untold, Brilliant mind, with a heart that's bold. When ignorance rises, he shines a clear light, With science and reason, always in the right.
"Trust me," they argue, spouting fear and despair, But Harambe counters, logic slicing the air. Data and evidence, eloquence combined, Antivaxx illusions quickly unwind.
Oh, Harambe, Harambe, wisdom untold, Brilliant mind, with a heart that's bold. When ignorance rises, he shines a clear light, With science and reason, always in the right.
And then there's 2600bro, faithful and clear, Echoing logic, holding science dear. By Harambe’s side, learning and true, Championing reason in all they pursue.
So here's to Harambe, a beacon so bright, Champion of reason, dispeller of fright. Doctor, professor, unmatched in debate, Crushing misinformation with logic innate.

Brings a tear to me eye. Brothers in arms. Knocking our arrows with fletching labeled “reason”, “empathy”, and “relatableness” upon a shaft, “elegance”, and a sharpened head “owning moronic lowlife antivaxxers wherever they stand.”
In realms of wit, where shadows play, arose a tale of disarray. Of Harambe, small, with heart aflame, and Novak, bold, who won the game. And Covid, she, with eyes so keen, a fickle heart, a shifting scene. Harambe loved, with fervent might, young Covid, fair, a dazzling sight. He'd sing her praise, with earnest plea, and swear his love, eternally. But Novak came, with silver tongue, and melodies, more sweetly sung. He charmed her soul, with subtle art, and stole her favor, and her heart. Harambe raged, a tempest's roar, "By all the gods, I'll have no more! This Novak's theft, I will repay, and steal his glory, day by day!" He vowed revenge, with bitter cry, and sought to cast, Novak's name awry. He plotted schemes, with darkened brow, to bring his rival, crashing low. But Novak, wise, and ever keen, foresaw the plots, the vengeful scene. He met each challenge, with a smile, and turned each trial, to a worthwhile. He built his fame, with steady hand, and rose to power, throughout the land. He proved his worth, with every deed, while Harambe's plots, began to bleed. And Covid, she, with changing mind, found Novak's strength, a treasure kind. She saw his grace, his steady hand, and knew his worth, throughout the land. She chose his side, with clear intent, and left Harambe, discontent. For in her eyes, a truth was clear, Novak's victory, held no fear. Harambe's rage, a fading fire, consumed his soul, with dark desire. He chased his dreams, with futile quest, and found no solace, or no rest. While Novak thrived, with steady pace, and held his love, with gentle grace. He built a life, of strength and might, and shone like stars, in darkest night. And Covid, she, with fickle sway, found joy and peace, along the way. She learned to value, strength and truth, and cast aside, her fleeting youth. She found her place, in Novak's care, and left behind, all dark despair. So let the tale, a lesson bring, that bitter vengeance, holds no sting. That grace and strength, will win the day, and fleeting passions, fade away. And though Harambe, sought to claim, a love and glory, lost to shame. Novak's triumph, stands so bright, a beacon shining, in the night.

That’s creepy. How many locks of his hair have you collected?
The vast majority of these people are well protected against Covid from the original series. Additional boosters are good, but not essential to avoid most of the risk of serious disease.
