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.

                            Dan I suspect Rune and Augier Aliassime might upset the applecart

                              Dan NK proving that he is still the world’s best player. Rune is some talent

                                Looks like Nadal Draper is going the distance. Intriguing start to the first major.

                                  Going for Rune for the Men’s AO title.

                                  Women’s title …I’m going for Ons Jabeur (who’s basically a man)
