Erling Haaland when asked who his sporting hero from another sport is:
"I like Djokovic. I think he's good, he's being himself and what he has achieved is amazing, coming from nowhere and from his country. I take Djokovic." [via Man City podcast]
"When NATO ruined my country without a legal base in 1999 I was a kid. I told myself I'll win that same world in my own way. And here I am today. The bombing didn't ruin me, nor my people. Our souls aren't broken. We're happy despite our problems. That's winning" 🐐-Djokovic
I always say that whatever happens, Rafa is still the GOAT of the streets. Novak can have the stats. Novak is the stats GOAT, sure.
But Rafa is the GOAT of the people, and the stats he’s a close second. Enough for me to say he’s overall GOAT.
if we're being honest nadal has 0 legitimate Australian open titles.
2009- Djokovic withdrew due to health reasons
2022- complete fluke win, Djokovic unjustly deported like a criminal
If we're being honest, Djokovic has 0 legitimate Roland Garros titles.
2023 - Cramps, Injured Nadal
2021 - Greek mosquito swatter in final, Injured Nadal
2016 - Pushing moaner in final, Injured Nadal
When is he ever going to win the title playing a fit, in-form Tier 1?
I have a friend who is an entomologist and studies insects
I gave him a list of Djokovic's grand slams and career achievements and told him to work out his slam count if he had 4 legs and powers to spin webs on court
He emailed me back and the results are:
Djokovic slams 79
you play the best tennis of your life and yet grandpa Djokovic brings you to a fifth set while smacking his legs and lousily gifting points. there's a difference.
he's 16 years younger, that's not called being rivals
Djokovic furious the ball was out & rightly so as hawkeye confirms the ball was out!!
Both the linesman & umpire missed it🤦🏽♂️........what a surprise🙄
