Well deserved :applause:

[gigantes]

and he just set two records:

- first man to ever win the first three masters tournaments of the year (monte carlo, miami open, indian wells)

- first man to own a 5,000+ point lead over the next guy in the ATP rankings (he has 13,845 pts to fed's 8,385)

Can't say I really care much about shit like this...but he's been raping the mens tour this season.

[imdaman99]

He's well primed to take Nadal's French Open this year, as he whooped up on Nadal the other day on Clay. But we all know Nadal is a different animal at Roland Garros. Djoko was in better form the last 2 years as well (prior to FO) and Nadal still beat him there. Can't say I am looking forward to it though... Nadal could be coming to his end.

i still expect nadal to go full beast-mode by the french open.

he knows exactly all the little things he needs to do to get in to peak form and will be sure to pursue them with his typical passion. to struggle with all the injuries, peaks and valleys and still win the french nine out of ten years is just mind-blowing to me.

that's sort of rod laver territory for sheer accomplishment, and andre agassi territory for overcoming physical / mental issues and coming back even stronger.

No way in hell he beats Nadal in the French Open. I have a feeling Novak will we a bit forgotten when we talk about GOAT-list. Sadly but I can see that happening.

they are injecting him with horse roids as we speak
there is so much djokovic can do about it

I dislike Nadal. But them "roids" you talking about.:lol

Nadal has been a master on clay since he was a kid. He is 4x better on clay than all the other surfaces. It is what it is.

interesting incident (http://sports.yahoo.com/news/murray-blasts-rosol-way-munich-semis-000407649--ten.html) between murray and lukas rosol (guy who beat nadal at wimbledon couple years ago).

rosol rallies to win the first set, bumps murray during a changeover, murray calls him the most hated guy on tour, comes back and wins 4-6, 6-3, 6-2 and goes on to the munich finals.
