BOSS!!! After a bad day at the office and he comes on to these press conferences and gives the kind of answers like he does here, I never worry. Look at that confidence, that belief in himself (to be able to talk so intricately about what he couldn’t do). As long as he knows what he does I do not worry. Truthfully, as a Nolefam I’m so grateful to him already. He proved himself years back. Just come out and play for us to see Champ. That’s enough, that alone is a privilege. GOAT!!!!

To be honest, at age 36+, it is not easy to stay in the highest level of tennis, up and down are expected. Anyway, we all know the big 3 era will end sooner or later, but as a Nole fans, I would still enjoy seeing him play at high level and winning matches! All the best Champ, good luck for RG, Olympics and Wimbledon🙏😊

He started by giving him credit. No matter how many times Tabilo beats Novak he can’t be a better player until he wins more titles. These legends( Djokovic, Nadal and Federer) are so good, as shown by their records that when they lose to players like Tabilo its perfectly reasonable and logical to give an excuse for their losses. Nadal lost in Rome simply because of injuries and age. Otherwise Hurcaz would never beat him on clay. With the number of titles Nadal has won on clay it makes sense to make this assumption. Over the years these legends have consistently beaten players stronger than Tabilo. So this loss today is no big deal. It’s just a loss on a bad day. It takes nothing away from the greatness of Novak. Even if the bottle is not an excuse for this loss,something else has to be because under normal circumstances Tabilo doesn’t have the strength,skill and consistency to beat a fully fit Novak. Kudos to Tabilo though. Wish him a great career ahead.

Completely logical, when you have bleeding from hit to the head 2 days ago. It is not normal to be interested in tennis tournament anymore. Rest and check is what he should do before RG.

Jaja he want to go Home post bottle in his head. He serve with 20 seconds in the clock, no bouncing! He gives a lesson to the organización. GOAT

Damn those comments one less informed and reality based than the next one. (with exceptions) First of all, when Roger retired the big 3 era ended. Second of all, it is really foolish to write a sportsman of the caliber of Novak, Rafa, Roger as well as many others off at any point. They are animals with decades of experience or clearer self-knowledge. Thirdly, yes it is indeed unlikely that the bottle incident has been the major reason for the rather poor performance by his standards, however, we can't know for sure. But if we look at it from a bit more distance, it seems that Novak has some mental issues since it is clear that he is the most successful player of all time and nobody is probably born yet, who could even dream of breaking his grand slam record. But it wouldn't be the first time he reinvents himself! The GOAT discussion is, was and will always be rubbish. Why? Because Greatness doesn't has just to do with numbers. Yeah Novak is a great guy and deserves respect as all the others! And so on and so forth...
