nah he was faking it to get a medical time-out and win, except he forgot the bit about playing out the game.

He's very clever.  Alcaraz and Sinner can over take him as goat.  Zverev is 27 and would have to conquer all comers for 10 years to get close to his record.

Grand slams are brutal. Best of 5 sets x 7 over 14 days if you want to win it.
Nick Kygrios has never been fit enough to do it, always has struggled in week 2.
Novak's body at 37 no longer appears to be able to go the distance. He didn't win a grand slam last year either.
Clay and grass is easier on the body so if he can pinch one of the next 2 I don't think he will get to 25.

There were clearly more than few punters peeved at forking out serious coin and receiving one set for that outlay.  People get injured playing sport but this bloke is frequently injured and goes into games with injury. 
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

Fit enough?
Mentally fiit enough.

Kygrios uses the tennis circuit as a worldwide holiday.
He only needs the coin from a few rounds to cover his costs and give him spending money and gives him enough time to party before he needs to be at the next one.

Again, booed because he can be a bit df a dick at times not because they are racist. Poor form I agree, Sverev put the crown in their place.

I cant see anyone overtaking Novak as the GOAT, a special talent with abilities none of the current players have. Remember, for most of his career, he played against Fed and Raffa in a lot of Grandslams (ie multiple GS winners themselves and contenders for GOAT). I cant see an era were Sinner, Alcaraz and co achieve what the above did, time will tell.

If it was racism, why didn't the crowds boo Nadal, Lendl, Vilas, Becker, Alcaraz, etc., etc.?

Fans of Djoker accept his knob behaviour, and anyone who pushes back against it gets labelled racist by them.

Not sure what his injury is or if he genuinely has one, it seems the only way he losses a match these days is through injury and that makes people suspicious, I think the cynicism is justified. It's like aging F1 drivers always claiming the car is no good.

It's understandable, he's been there done that and when the going gets tough it's fair enough for him to perhaps lose motivation, but don't steal the opponents victory with excuses.

Perhaps a very oblique reference to the booing of Goodes?

You know, all of them came from the Balkans too...

For me, Goodes was dirty and a Kent on the ground. I feel that's why he was booed.

I have to say I'm not a big tennis fan, I like all sport, but with tennis I tend to only watch finals.

Having watched tonight's final, I'm not surprised at all that Djoker dominates these players, they are dead set ordinary by the standards of the past. A fit Djoker, Raffa, Agassi type would mince these spuds.

For example, they play drops shots from the baseline like they have concrete rackets, and sometimes still win the point! :o

Sinner is the returning champ and hardly lost a set all tournament and far from ordinary.  He has won 3 slams now and will win many more.  

Novak and Raffa are 2 of the top 3 players of all time - comparing any current player to anyone in that group is pointless.

Records are relative.

I suspect if Federer was around and playing in his prime at the moment he would probably be on a grand slam hattrick about now, the current players aren't in the same league as the people he regularly came up against. I'm not even sure Sinner and Alcaraz would get the better of the 2nd tier types from the early Federer era 2000 through 2010.
