I'm so fucking happy. My friends hate Novak and they have a tennis match today and I'm going to be so obnoxious lol. I have my Djokovic shirt ready and everything.
It's MY time ^_^
I don't even care if he loses Sunday He has a zillion other chances to get the record. THIS win was for his legacy.

Might?
Take your rose tinted glasses off. Guy with 18 slams currently might go down as top 5 player? Oh come on, I know people hate him but that's a ridiculous statement.

He will firmly be the No. 1 player of all time when all of this is said and done
Very easy to say atm but things can change very quickly could win the final then not win another slam while Fed (very unlikely) and Nadal pick up another. Tsitsipas could just win the final too many variables
He ran Novak close last year, also played a very close match in Rome, personally I don't think he will because the occasion of being in his first grand slam will be too much. However he does have the game to trouble Novak when all is going well
That third set was insane, the level of tennis we have been seeing from the big-three will be unmatched in our lives.
This is def true.
How can the "next" (already approaching their 30s lol) generation be so pathetic in comparison. I don't understand how there's such a huge dropoff in talent and quality.
Novax Djokovid is his full name.
Alas it'll be Novax Djokovid-19 pretty soon, I just wish it'll stay at that forever. But the chances are pretty slim.
i think when in a few years all said and done he'll have an even better argument for GOAT men's tennis player than he does now, especially since he is likely to get over 20 slams and pass federer.
yes, i am counting out federer, who will be 40 in two months and just withdrew from the french open.
we'll see what nadal does in the twilight of his career though.

I said top 5 just to not get bogged down in the minutiae of who's actually what place.

Even so, Djokovic will be the favorite going into Wimbledon, the US Open and of course the Australian Open. He has chances everywhere whereas Nadal primarily just has the French (and Federer is pretty much done). The odds are in his favor.
