He means that Djokovic's dominance is largely due to him being the beneficiary of playing in an era punctuated by the decline of both Federer and Nadal as well as a dearth of talent on the men's side of the sport.

I mean maybe that argument flies for Federer as he was in the tail end of his career when Joker won his first Slam (Federer still won four Slams after that though), but Nadal? He was in definitely in his prime when Djokovic entered his prime. Nadal also used to regularly beat prime Federer so I don’t see how prime Joker would not be on the same level as prime Federer. Regardless, he’s on pace to win at least a few more Slams so this is going to eventually be a moot discussion. I hope I’m wrong because I intensely dislike him.

I'm not saying he sucks or anything, he's obviously great. I just don't think he's going to be considered the greatest player ever, certainly not undisputed.

Guest Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I cut back my social media follows to either family members I like but live far, or people who I see in real life at least once a month. And I dumped anybody that posts more than once a day, or posts about politics with any regularity. It completely changed the pleasantness of social media for me.

CitizenVectron Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Frankly everyone in vaccine research as well as healthcare in general deserve a 50% raise at this point.
