2008 he lost at the Olympics to Nadal , 16 years later at 37 he beats Nadal , Tsitsipas , Musetti and Alcaraz whom he lost 3 weeks ago at Wimboedon and in straight sets to win the gold medal becoming the oldest player to win it and the only one to win it without losing a set !!!!
I agree that the achievement is great. But it was not Nadal he played, it was his ghost.
@@ValentinG23 Wimbledon was only a fluke. Novak wasn't healthy after his surgery and couldn't keep up. Now Novak is healthy, Alcaraz didn't stand a chance today.
Nice facts ❤
@@winterbird4447same age not fair to say yeah but Nadal is old. Ok but so is Novak. Sams ppl, same conditions on nadal’s preferred court and surface. End of story
2008, Carlos A. was just a toddler in kindergarten. Longevity GOAT
Enough said Novak is definitely the Goat
His records never will be touched, and he will keep adding slams.
I think he is.
For sure 👑🎾🇷🇸🐐
I’m a Federer fan and I said Novak was the goat after he outlasted Rafa in 6 hours at the AO 2012 Final for his 5th Slam after getting one day fewer rest after his 5 hour semi with Murray. Why did it take you 12 more years to crown him?
Another boring reference to GOAT, showing no appreciation of the actual match.
One of the best matches I have ever seen. 2 great champions
Novak played at an exceptionally high level. Credit goes to both players for their focus and intensity throughout the match, from the very first point to the last.. Truly an amazing match!
Well said! Agreed!
@@CourtSidewithBeilinsonTennis Seethe jew. Novak Djokovic is the GOAT. 8-7 40-15
Greatest sportsman in history!❤ Anyone who's seen tennis for 15 years will agree!
Physical issues early on, 2 all time great rivals at their peak + murray + wawrinka, media hate, injuries, covid, next gen challenges and still having almost every record possible. Simply unbelievable ❤
That's my Champ .Nole !!!
Nole is a genius. Once in 50 years a person like Nole is born.
This is completely wrong. Nole became the goat by outworking and out-training his competition. Roger has more natural talent. Rafa and Carlos are much better natural athletes. Novak is more disciplined and willing to sacrifice more. That is 100% a choice. That’s the difference between them, not any innate “genius.”
Nole is from another planet! Never will there be such an athlete like Nole ever on this planet! His mental fortitude and willpower are unmatched!
Absolutely true 👊😎
50.. more like 500 years
@@thsu8Novak is the best overall athlete of them all.
His serve abandoned him at the wimbledon finals after being amazing throughout the tournament. Here it didnt and he played amazing. I havent seen so many amazing shots in a single tournament by Novak as in this Olympics. Masterful performance.
GOAT.
In Wimbledone final he wasn't focused at all.Maybe he was affraid of getting hurt again and his mind was already set on the Olympics.
When you see that Carlos played like Hell, and Novak is 37, with a bad knee, surgery a month ago or so, 16-year-older legs, etc., I cannot help but to think that against a 10-year-old younger version of Novak, Carlos would not have a chance.
@@thezoran6868 Carlos doesn't have a chance against 37-year-old Novak. LOL
Of course. 2011 or 2015 Novak would destroy Alcaraz with ease.
Probably even 2008 Novak - he won AO at the peak of Federer and Nadal's powers
bs. arlos is kust 21. arlos is a better plauer than Novak. Novak at 21 was a joke comlared to arlos now. so stop the bs.
@vindukur100 Excuses are for loosers... Novak could be his father... Carlos ( who is a great player and even a good guy) just learned what happens when mortals mess with the God of tennis...
I always said. Always look at Novak’s forehand and how he is hitting it. If he is hitting it exceptionally then he will not lose any match. AO 2023 was a forehand clinic from Djokovic. His backhand is never an issue
His forehand was so effective in today's match. What an amazing match!
I totally agree, it all depends on his forehand - if that is on, he won't lose
This is so true. Its so true for all players. Like if Federer has his backhand working, he wins. Rafa with his DTL forehand. Novak with his cross court forehands!
Remember Nadal was injury free for 4-5 months preparing only for Olympics but Novak came back from injury etc
and destroys Nadal in the second round haha ... doesnt even let Nadal get into the tournament; all that preparation for nothing.
All the roids didn't help.
What is more scary NOVAK DJOKOVIC is unstoppable force and still counting.. GOAT position sealed

would you care to elaborate? can you share the year(s) and name of tournaments when/where novak beat nadal 9 consecutive times on clay or any other surface.

Thanx David & Steve! Great serving. Great opportunities for both on break points. Amazing execution. Novak’s serving, volleying & crushing forehands were the difference during both sets. Then, in the tiebreaks, Nole just raised his level & closed them both out with serving, execution, mental toughness & sublime top-tier finishing of points. WOW! What a match! Golden Career Slam! What’s left? Cheers, Milan
Great Stuff. Thank you
No one in any sport has won everything the sport has to offer. By nature, tennis has like 8-10 records you can hold. Novak has them all!
Djokovic is the only player in singles to have won all of the Big Titles over the course of his career. Achievement unlocked.
Is there any athlete in the history of sport who dominated for 15 years? Is he the greatest sportsman in the history? Novak could get even more Grand slams but he started playing a professional tennis when there was a total battlefield in top 50. Not only Nadal and Federer but super talented Murrey, Wawrinka, Monfils, Tsonga, Ferrer, Del Potro, Roddick, Isner, Cilic...Only Alcaraz and Sinner are on highest level and those two players will dominate tennis courts in the years to come.
Federer (2003-2018) won Slams 15 years apart. Nadal (2005-2022) won Slams 17 years apart. Messi dominated from age 21-35. Michael Jordan stopped dominating only by choice in 1998.
@@thsu8roger's era ended in 2010. And because Novak has elbow surgery Roger won 3 more slams in 17-18. Not because he dominated.
Rafa dominated only 2 years. 2010 and 2013. He was a subpar all court player compared to the other 2.
am not sure how you can compare team sports with individual sports.
@@user-wd7ue1wd6r I completely agree with you

I watched Musetti win the Australian boys Open in 2019 against Navarro. You could tell he was supremely talented even then. Not surprised hes finally stringing it together in the pros 5 years later.
Brilliant chat guys. Thanks once again.
Mr. Fink is always interesting to listen. Really enjoy his post tournament breakdown.
How do u call when u win all 9 masters , all 4 slams , Nitto atp finals and olympics gold? Mega slam?
He shall win the US Open, finish with 100 tournament wins including 25 Grand Slams and then retire at the ATP Finals in Turin :)
No, he won't retire for another 7 or 8 years. And he'll win 30 Majors!
Nole is the Best! 👍
Where are those Nadal's fans now who were challenging Novak to win Olympics Gold 🥇🥇🥇
LoL 😂😂😂😂😂 They have all disappeared for good.
those terrorists are saying now that Djokovic needs the Olympic Doubles Gold Medal that ´Rafa´ has.
@@rebecalinares5393 Good j0ke. Doubles Gold in Olympics are insignificant as the top five pair boycott it. In singles lately it is the exact reverse.

What next for Novak?
Most US opens (tied with Roger) - 5 in 1 month
Quadruple grand slam (all GS 4 times atleast ) - RG 2025
Most wimbledons (tied with Roger 8) - Wimbledon 2025.
He will be GOD if he gets them all. Maybe 2026 but yes nothing is impossible for Novak!💥
Novak undeniable Goat 🐐 of tennis 🎾 and of the Greatest athlete ever!!! Period
What else left to achieve? Maybe win 1 more USO and Wimbledon to tie those records. Other than that, i dont see what else is there for him to achieve.
Monte Carlo so as to win all ATP Masters 1000 three times and RG so has won all Slams 4 times ?
@@kennethmaxwell4809 well he is already the only player who has won all Masters twice and all GS thrice. So adding to those while good won't be that desirable cos hes already ahead in those stats. Just my opinion that it is more desirable to match Fed on wimbledon and USO. But whatever he wins from this point onwards will be amazing. Now he's mentally free having achieved everything there is to achieve.
Why not play until 2030 and win 30 Majors?
@@lawdogwales5921 he's be too old and physically incapable of winning. But yeah I'd be super happy if he continues to play and win as much as he can. The day he starts to lose in the early rounds of a tournament, should retire.

Alcaraz is yet to prove himself in indoor hard courts. LoL 😂😂😂
He is still not an all court player like Novak.
this loss will compromise his results in the second half of 2024; his next title will be Indian Wells 2025.
Same applies to Rafa too. Nothing accomplished indoors. That elusive ATP Finals title must be an open wound.
@@danicadabic9789absolutely. No ATP finals, just over 200 weeks at #1.
Is this show bigoted against conservative?
Why is only 2% of the population 100% of the commentators ? Same as the three! Hmmmmm……
@@Whatreally123 what does the number of weeks have to do with the comment on the indoor accomplishments? You cannot change the facts. Oh, and by the way, 428 weeks at #1.
It's amazing how a 37 year old with a bad knee is still obliteratimg the field of young players. It tells a lot about Novak's high level....and how clueless the young "champions" are. Wimbledon 24 was just a fluke.
Novak can go and get #25 now.
I genuinely don't think he has the legs in him to compete with Alcaraz in BO5 anymore. By detracting from Alcaraz you are only detracting from Novak. The fact he can go back to the drawing board and is still willing and able to figure this puzzle out is a testament to them both.
non sense he got utterly humiliated byacaraz in wimby. So dont give excuses
@@vindukur100🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@dudemanismadcoollol
Many people, including tennis bloggers, talk about Nadal as if he will retire tomorrow, if not yesterday. I don’t think this is what Nadal has communicated. Maybe it is more what you guys want him to do than what Nadal really wants to do.
Whether he retires or not is irrelevant like how he is now. He is done.
@@Whatreally123 Sure. Ok. That is about his level. My post is about his longevity, not his performance. I hear that the rivalry between Djokovic and Nadal ended 21-19…they don’t know if they will play again one against the other. They can meet again next week at a tournament if Nadal decides to play more. Stating that Nadal will no longer play after the Olympics is an assumption, perhaps a suggestion, not based on evidence. Nadal did not express the desire to retire. Let the man decide. He will choose his way out. It is not up to us to determine when he should retire.
@@NotbecauseIcoudnt sure. His retirement is upto him. But the way things are going, he won't even play a grand slam unless given a wild card entry. And Novak or any other top player won't play a 250. It's almost impossible for nadal to meet Novak in any tournament cos he won't even qualify for it. He's currently 159 as shown on the atp website. He can do whatever he wants but he's as good as retired if you look from a competitive lens.
@Whatreally123 , you may be right. But maybe not. He has come back from several injuries. Hasn't had any match practice. And yet played really well against Zverev. Don't count him out. And he couldceasily win few smaller titles to qualify for grand slams on merit.
@@Whatreally123 if your crystal ball is correct, then your troubles are over. you no longer have to be tormented with fear that nadal will somehow rise from the ashes once again; since he's irrelevant he won't be the nucleus of your conversation anymore. btw, correct me if I'm wrong but didn't novak play the 250 geneva open in may, just saying. also, the only wildcard that nadal has used since returning is bastad open. he used his protected ranking for the other tournaments. you might want to check your info before you speak, that way, you won't sound so ignorant.
When will Federer come out & tell the world Djokovic is the GOAT?
Considering he spent the best part of 20 years badmouthing him, I doubt he has the humility to admit the truth.
In a lie world, fact count more. Facts are 100% beyond nole.

Novak's versatility, Olympic Gold or not, makes him the GOAT by a large margin. Winning 250 and 500 ATP events is great, but greatness is measured by a player's performance in the "Big Titles". There are 15 "Big Titles":

Novak is the only man to have won all 9 Masters 1000 events. Not only is the only man to have won all 9 Masters 1000 events, but he won them each a minimum of twice, so he completed the "Golden Masters" twice.

Novak Djokovic leads the field in Big Titles by a huge margin. He has over 70 "Big Titles" while no other man has won over 59.
Just as impressive is the incredible balance in the "Big titles" that Novak Djokovic has won on each of the four surfaces:
