Only one must ask though. And that one is you. Nobody else is asking. An Olympic medal is still shining bright. Especially for a guy with long Covid. Remarkable. Maybe he took Redfield’s advice and got the Novavax boost so as not to risk long vax.
Your king. Your idol. Only worthy of gold. Let us see.
Doesn’t matter, he already has the gold medal in remaining unvaccinated and not having long Covid. And now, at least an Olympic silver medal to add to his repertoire for the first time in his career. But, maybe he’s been suffering from long influenza for 15 years since he’s never won the gold.
Chang was competing in the '90's. But it was still the same sport when the others I named were competing. Sampras won his first slam at 19 in 1990. Federer won his first Wimbledon at 21 in 2003. Of course he doesn't count. Nadal won his first slam at 18 in 2005. What you are also ignorant of is that 3 players, Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic, virtually owned the sport for the last twenty years. Alcaraz doesn't have to have arrived at his career peak to be at his current peak level - which is enough to thrash everyone in sight at 21.
You’ve literally given zero examples of tennis greats who peaked at 21 in the last three decades. No one said there haven’t been tennis greats ever to win a major at a young age. Talk about ignorance. Can you read?

You're an idiot. That argument isn't that a player has reached their career peak but that they are in peak form - which Alcaraz clearly is. You are simply wasting space.
Novak Djokovic has made his first ever ever Olympic Tennis final match! He will face the current King of Clay, Carlos Alcaraz for the gold medal.
Alcaraz will be heavily favored as he has been dominant all year and the clay is not Novak's best surface, plus his knee is still not fully healed from the surgery.
Djokovic has never won an Olympic gold medal in his career. It would be an incredible feat should he defeat a peak Alcaraz. I hope this will be a great match.
And a big FU to Harambe- Novak does NOT have "Long Covid."
You're free to have your own opinion.
The man has not won a tournament this year.
Perhaps that changes tomorrow.
1.) can you please explain to all of us why we should consider your metric - djokovic’s 2024 season - vs the entire career of grand slams? It seems arbitrary. Curious why we should care about your metric when sites like Wikipedia talk about the number of grand slams wins, length of time ranked at #1, and most importantly, the number of match wins.
2.) how do you explain nadal’s performance in the same date range as Djokovic? He is a similarly successful player, and he’s vaxxed, and he has performed poorly - even worse - over the same time period that you unfairly judge Nole.
3.) the 0-7 downvotes on your post is a hint that perhaps your commentary is misguided.
You’re right he doesn’t have long covid. He has several of the symptoms of long vax. You already mentioned that he has a couple of the more than 200 long vax symptoms.
Posting your sort of garbage on Letsrun is another symptom of long vax. Everything is.
What Nadal shows is the usual decline brought about by a lengthy and strenuous career in which injuries are ultimately getting the better of him - which is the end of most pro careers. Nothing to do with a ****ing vax.
No. That is not a symptom of long vax
Nadal clearly has some of the symptoms of long vax. You mentioned those yourself.
I’m beginning to think Djokovic also secretly took the vaccine and his recent struggles are due to long vax. Wouldn’t you agree?

The symptoms you ascribe to long vax are the consequence of wear and tear and decline in an aging athlete. Nadal has never complained of vaccination issues. As someone obsessive about his health he and his team would be expected to know. You anti-vaxxers ascribe every kind of condition to the vax. That is because you have absolutely no serious medical training but have become ensnared by your mediaeval suspicions of what you don't understand.

This will be the highest he’s ever finished in an Olympic Games. Pretty impressive for a 37+ year old playing on one leg to have a career best finish.

So you think Djokovic has long covid? If not long covid or long vax, why the decline?

Are you being deliberately obtuse? He’s not saying Nadal categorically and unequivocally has long vax, he’s merely saying it’s possible and plausible, more likely than that Djokovic has long Covid. But still unlikely.
I know a dude with long Covid by the way, multi vaxxed too. He’s not getting anywhere near a tennis court. Long Covid is a serious disease replete with autonomic dysfunction, POTS, extreme fatigue, poor sleep, along with myriad other symptoms. I don’t know why Harambe mocks it so.
