So, @DjokerNole won the Wimbledon longest final (2019 vs. Federer), the second longest semi-final (2018 vs. Nadal) and the longest quarterfinals (2026 vs. Felix AA)
Wow.
Since Djokovic won 2023 RG and achieved slam #23 + the Triple Career Slam, he has been stopped in the SF or Fs of majors 4x by Sinner and 4x by Carlos Alcaraz.
Still incredibly managed to win one more US Open, Olympic Gold, ATP Finals, 2 1000s, 2 250s, and story still not over.
The BBC commentary for Djokovic v Sinner is 3 mid players whose careers pale in comparison to Djokovic, being condescending & dismissive of his talent & legacy. They even suggested that, in his prime, he was never as good as Sinner, Fed, & Nadal.
Absolute disgrace.

Just saw @DjokerNole walk into the gym & congratulate Janniks entires team & Jannik again. The behind the scenes things u learn about players & their respect for each other is always so nice to see. Congratulations to both for a wonderful match. @janniksin just too good today.
In 2015, Stefan Djokovic was watching his father in an Australian Open semi-final.
In 2026, Stefan Djokovic is helping his father get ready for a Wimbledon semi-final.
The longevity 🍷
Coco Gauff on the missed drop shot she hit on match point against Muchova, ‘People who don’t watch tennis are gonna be like, Why did you do that? But also if I make it, everyone’s gonna say how clutch of a shot that was’
Coco: “It was a lot of positives. Obviously got super close. Definitely gonna think about the last point, or I don’t know, second or third last point… whatever, for a while. But overall it was a positive tournament for me. A match to for sure remember. It’s tough to digest. But I don’t know, I’m happy.”
“What are you thinking about that point?”
Coco: “I mean, there’s one thing to be like ‘Oh why play a drop shot…’ but then I think about how many points I won off the drop shot. So it’s like, yes, people who don’t watch tennis are gonna be like ‘why did you do that?’ But at the end of the day… that’s the choice I made. Was it the right one in that moment? Maybe not. But also if I make it, everyone’s gonna say how clutch of a shot that was. That’s just tennis. You lose some shots off margins. The return came back in a tricky place for me. I didn’t expect it to, the bounce kind of caught me off guard. So I just panicked a little bit. But it takes moments like this to learn from and have a more clear and concise plan of what I wanna do. At the end of the day I left it all out there. I don’t have any regrets. Obviously points I wanna make better decisions on. But that’s how you learn and become a better player.”
