You may need it sooner than you think if rumours are true we’re going to a back 3 with Trippier coming in in place of Saka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's too late to change a negative approach now. Djokovic has woke up now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Not always at his best but a masterclass of return of service from Djokovic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyangel Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 So it’s been 19yrs since anyone other than Djokovic, Federer, Nadal or Murray won Wimbledon… what an era of men’s tennis! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he lost the final to Murray in 2013 i would never have expected that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair play to him though, he’s in incredible condition for his age! I imagine with the other ‘greats’ all deteriorating, Novak will push for more titles whilst he’s relatively unopposed! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly true I'm afraid and unless another is born talent comes along he will go on to be the greatest of all time. Was hoping Roger would have that accolade but it wasn't to be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Novak may eventually hold the most trophies but Roger will retain the adoration and plaudits. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on Roger, get them knees back in shape and win couple more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Djokovic has taken the game to a whole new level. Federer has pulled out of the Olympics now, sadly I think he will retire soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sports fans often look at more than achievements when defining the GOATs and players that exude a certain style and a more palatable personality get a bit more credit than their contemporaries.
