@seattle_hq@ItzzZain10 His form has really slipped in the last couple years, especially relative to the other top guys. His level this week surely gave him hope for a better outlook, which is probably the biggest reason for the celebration
@DjokovicFan_ If it wasn't obvious already this stat should firmly squash any Fed fans' deluded view that Fed was anywhere close to Novak on clay. They cherry pick the one 2011 french open match and ignore everything else
@Abdel_Peace1 As ridiculous as Fed at #1 over Novak is, the entire list is really flawed. Alcaraz over Sampras at this point is ridiculous and Roddick over Stan, Hewitt (not to mention unranked guys like Safin, Guga and even Sinner) is indefensible
@Yolitatennis And these booers were obviously rooting against him, so they got the result they wanted but didn’t like the fact that Novak didn’t further damage himself to entertain them (when these were the very people he owed nothing to)?? Idiots
@josemorgado I'm sure I'll come off as a whiny Djokovic fan, but regardless. And I take nothing away from the very worthy nominees, although will note there have been some famous examples of racket smashing amongst them as well
@josemorgado I remain mystified that Fed/Nadal kept winning the Edberg award but Novak is never nominated. He is 2nd to none in applauding his opponents good shots, is super gracious in defeat ... seems abritrary to exclude him for stress-release racket smashing and reacting to impolite fans
@TrungTPhan Interesting but would note that the distribution of ketchup is important, so you won’t get the same experience eating a whole fry with a lump of ketchup as dipping and biting
@TheTennisLetter Gilbert seems to have an immediate initial positive impact and then seemingly his message/impact loses steam. Roddick had similar initial spike, even Agassi won 2 slams within a year of hiring him and then went 3+ years before his next slam
