Dan Interesting that both of us have overlooked ND when his head to head record against both of them is better, not to mention the fact he has more miles left in the tank and was number one for a record seven years. My eldest who is county standard thinks he is the best. All so subjective

      alistair Two French Open titles. Your son is probably right. He’s an amazing athlete with laster like accuracy. I saw him get smashed by Safin one year at Wimbledon and never thought he’d reach those dizzy heights he has achieved. Let’s face it if there was no Covid and he hadn’t wacked the line judge he’d be well in front in GS stakes.

          Dan personally, I doubt Alcaraz would have won the US had he been there.

              ND is doubtless an astonishing athlete, and a hell of a tennis player, but IMO he’s also:

              a) not that fun to watch, and
              2) a cunt

                  alistair Oh, for sure - has achieved so much, and you get the sense that he’s almost out performed his natural talent. I’d watch a Federer game ahead of Djokovic any day of the week though - more naturally gifted IMO, and his playing style is just a ton better to watch.

                  Djokovic is the Ivan Drago of modern tennis.

                    Watching Laver cup @Dan ?
                    Set up nicely for Djok and Tiafoe tonight. Should be a cracker

                    vinnyt77 Simliar vibes to Schumacher during his pomp. A winner but not necessarily any good for his sport.

                        mono-stereo Correct. Schumacher was/is an awful human being, but also the best racer I’ve ever seen.

                          One cannot argue that Federer is a better player than Novak when he has been so utterly dominated by him in Grand Slam finals but he will never be as fun or joyful to watch.

                          Not really mate.
                          I’ve not got Eurosport.

                            Dan ND hasn’t played competitively since Wimbledon final and is completely dismantling Tiafoe. Extraordinary

                                alistair He hadn’t played much tennis coming into Wimbledon.

                                  Some top players still left but is it all set for an Djokovic v Alcaraz final in Paris? Another good masters @Dan

                                    alistair Yes mate. I was going to the French Open next year, but i quite fancy going the Paris Masters instead. Neither of them have played a great deal….should be a cracker.
