Even the most rabid, mRNA vax pushing, Djokovic hater has to concede how well he is battling his long COVID. Only 30+ year old player in world’s top 10, only >35 year old in world’s top 40, and seeking to become the first player in history to win a grand slam past age 37. And only one 37-year old, Ken Rosewall back in 1971 with much less depth in the sport, has ever won a slam in history. Only one.
Federer won one at age 36. Nadal won one at 35. But nobody at 38. I bet I can count on less than one hand the number of 38-year olds ever in the world’s top ten. None of them have a gold medal. Man, long Covid is such a b!tch. Life ruining. What a gamer that Novax character.
