Was just wondering what had happened in the other semi today and then I saw code had posted in here and knew that meant Ruud had won! 

[Captain Howdy]

Congratulations to the greatest tennis player of all time

[Captain Howdy]

Surprisingly quiet on here for such a monumental sporting achievement….ah well

[Remmie]

Yeah Djokovic isn't a particularly popular player, what with the all the covid jab dodging and Nadal and Federer both being far more charismatic players. I agree though that Djokovic is comfortably the best. 

[George Costanza]

Probably becuase its very difficult to like him.

 

He is relentless and one of the greats but I much prefer Federer & Nadal.

Yeah one of the greats alongside Federer & Nadal.  And as with most sports its extremly difficult to compare era's and achievements of historic players.

Djokovic has cleaned them out. He makes it 24 in Wimbledon as well imo, he’s the greatest to ever pick up a racket 

[Strontium]

He'd be on 24 or 25 already had the authorities not tried to make him into a scapegoat for their awful policies.

 

Not my favourite player to watch by any stretch, but undoubtedly the greatest.

[Trumo]

Not a likeable player or the best to watch, but he is ridiculously consistent and has claimed at least 3 titles at each Grand Slam on the way to claiming the overall record. His only remaining goals would be to try and win all 4 in one calendar year, and also add Olympic gold.

[KMD7]

He's the best ever but Fed will always be my favourite. 

[Moo]

I don't think the total number of Grand Slam titles is necessarily the only indicator of the greatest, though Djokovic's achievements make for a compelling argument. I think when the numbers are so close you have to look at unique achievements and of course doing the calendar year Grand Slam counts for so much that many would still consider Laver the greatest as he did it twice. I think if Djokovic could do it once, coupled with his number of Grand Slam titles, then everyone would have to concede.

[Megadrive Man]

He's second only to Tim Henman in my eyes.

 

He may have won a few more grand slams but he never captured the heart of the nation like tiger Tim. 

 

Henman has more hils unofficially named after him too.

As ever, I've got absolutely zero interest in fucking Wimbledon. Apart from this little minx.

Its because he knows he's done and he can't cope with it.

I’ll never not appreciate the sheer will to win and never say die attitude he’s got but he’s a bit of a bellend with it. No class.
