Clear victory for Djokovic, a very good form that he currently has, especially in Australia. He has contested 9 finals in Australia so far and won all of them.



His first victory at Australien open are at 2008

Well, Australian Open is to Djokovic like Wimbledon is to Federer or French Open is to Nadal. Suites Djokovic's playing style. The ball comes to the racquet consistently and isnt as fast or windy as hard courts at US Open. He can defend for days and counter attack when necessary. Djokovic's serving seemed to have improved as well, along with his fitness and form, coming into the final stages of the tournament.

Thanks for sharing that haha. So he is two more GS titles away from equalling the other two big three guys. It's going to happen for sure.

The only thing now that would shock everyone is if Federer recovers from his knee injury and does a serena williams comeback. I believe he has at least one more GS in him and he will be motivated to do it for the records.

Only Nadal have more wins at one tournament, to compare.

Australien Open most wins:



US Open.



French Open:



Wimbledon:



Djokovic and Federer have a impressive statistics, but Nadal has already won one tournament 13 times, normally you can't even do that in 3 careers.

I think it's a pretty special time in male tennis now for the last 10 years. We have 3 absolutely world class players that would have probably won everything if the other 2 would not be around at the same time.
If i had to choose one of those 3 i would go with federer as the GOAT. He is just gifted with so much talent and just looks so incredibly elegant when playing. I just love that 1-handed backhand.
Of course nadals top spin forehand is also incredible and the way djokovic slides into his defending shots and always brings the ball back is phenomal too.

Oh, that's a lovely list you share with us. Many names that remind me of a wonderful time in the 80s and 90s.

As much I admire Federer I would never want him to be back on the court at this age risky a bigger injury, so better take rest and heal and only make a comeback once fully fit.

I think Nadal is going to win 3-4 more titles at least on the French open because he made Djokovic look mediocre last year when he won and OI won't be surprised if he wins in coming years without dropping a sweat.

Djokovic has better chances of more grand slams and even could have won US open had that foolish mistake been avoided of hitting a line person on the neck. I think since there are 2 grand slams each year on the hard court - namely US open and Australian open and since Djokovic is fit, he has better chances of leveling up and even becoming the player with most grand slams in coming time.

But he never gets the support from crowd despite being the best player of the tournament, I remember how fans were cheering when he was injured against Taylor Fritz and he was able to overcome the injury and win that match because the crowd was asked to leave around the start of the 3rd set. I don't know why people hate Novak so much because he gives his 100% against any opponent and one thing you can associate with Novak is consistency. I don't remember when last time Novak was out of a tournament early.

I thought he will lose against Milos but he did well to win in 4 sets and by the time final arrived he looked like he never had any injury. I remember when Nadal was asked about it he said if you have an injury you just cannot win but Novak did it.

I agree with you, I am one of the biggest Federer supported since he started playing tennis but we have to be honest with us and he is not ready to win another Grand Slam. I would love to see a new Federer victory but he is 39 years old, we have to understand that he can not be winning titles over and over again. Then next Gran Slam victories will be leading/sharing for Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic and who knows if some new young tennis player is there such as Daniil Medvédev (top 3 ATP rank nad 25 years old) or Dominic Thiem (top 4 ATP rank and 27 years old).
