I love this man. The best tennis player on the planet. A true warrior. He is Novak Djokovic.

Our players should be forced to watch his matches. The way he's turned himself into quite an invincible force over the last 18 months is very impressive.

Can one of you let me know how qucik the last game went? I went to make a sandwich and when I came back the game was already over. It was just ham and cheese too.

Djokovic can play, but he would be an even better player if he didn't hit the ball straight back to his opponent half the time instead of using all the court. He needs to watch Federer tapes from when he was on top of his game and see how he always pushed the ball into the open court. Too many times Rafa didn't need to move his feet after he completed his shot.

Yes pretty poor show from Djokovic.

He cvould really learn a lot from some of the blokes who went out in earlier rounds.

It seems to be working against everyone in the world. I think he knows best.

Nadal is class and has admitted on numerous occasions that Djokovic has the mental edge over him. At least he didn't cry like Roger "I want my mummy" Federer.

I think you need to take your Balkan glasses off Avenger. He loses plenty of points by hitting the ball straight back to his opponent and simply it puts himself under pressure. Just because he is No.1, doesn't mean that he has a faultless game.

Federer is the greatest of his generation. He deserves more respect than you give him BTW.

Federer is great but is also a sook of epic proportions.

And another thing. The Balkans and Serbia in particular have been demonized for the best part of 20 years. I am not saying you are like that but many are. Its hard for the tennis community to accept the new King due to their bias. It's is so obvious with general crowds and commentary. Now they can respectfully shove it in their prejudiced arse. Federer when Novak started was very disrespectful to him and used to mock him on many press conferences. That is why I take immense pleasure of his dethroning by the new benchmark in world tennis.

Federer at his best was far better.

Before Djokovic took it to the next level. Federer had guys like Hewitt< Gonzales and Nalbandian to contend with. :lol::lol:

Nadal hadn't even reached his peak and exposed him for the robot that he is.
