The greatest returner in tennis history. Outstanding flexibility and fitness, and just an all round nice guy. My idol and a joy to watch. It's been an honour to watch you play live Novak, and I hope you have an amazing birthday. Make sure to eat some grass, as that's what 🐐s do 😉
I think that, apart from his shots, one of Djokovic's greatest talents is his foot work and his movement overall. The guy has an insane court coverage and amazing balance. One thing is reaching a hard ball but another thing is reaching it and doing what he does with it. No one in tennis history has reached a higher level.
Some may think he is the GOAT , some may not but all that aside any tennis fan should agree djokovic is one of the best if not the best player of this decade so far . He had the courage to stand up to nadal and federer and displayed a never give up attitude which is why he won 15 majors.
Sorry, but as great as he is, he's definitely not the best. Federer poses the finest skill, sharp mind and best eye-body coordination. I always been Nadals's fan, but Federer is still the best.
@@robmarth2226 That's the point here Federer is such a natural talent he's got the best natural game I've seen . Djokovic even though he doesn't have those qualities I believe he has the sharpest mind of tour ,his tennis IQ is brilliant , his mental strength is the best if not the best and he had the will to not accept two guys dominating the sport , you cant say Djokovic doesn't have hand eye coordination skills it's because of that he puts the balls in the no man area on a stretch , he is the most elastic and if not the most fittest player on tour. Irrespective of his shortcomings he came through ,he is a fighter that's what attracts people like me and that's what makes some people hate on him because he isn't an artist life Federer and more of a machine
@@dpa71999 you missed my point, I acknowledge his greatness but Federer is the best we ever get so far. So no "if not the best" for Djokovic because he's clearly not.
A Is Here He was declared old 10 years ago. Became old as soon as Djoker started domination along with Nadal. No more Nalbandian, Davydenko, Hewitt etc. Nadal Novak and Murray. Till 2017. and Djoko's injury he won 1 grand slam 2010-2017, or two, AO 2010 and than something in 2012. Federer sucks.
@@Radegadestotejebo Djokovic 0- Kyrgios 2! Dustin Brown 2- nadal 0, djokovic 4- roddick 5, nadal 3- kyrgios 3; karlovic 2- djokovic1; you are absolutely right, h2h is the true criterion of greatness, nothing else matters, neither the surfaces they played, nor the age/peakness of the career, nor slowing down courts- making hard/grass courts like clay courts--nothing else matters. Djokovic/nadal are the GOATs.
Even as a die hard Nadal fan, I'm glad Djokovic has come in between the Nadal & Federer duopoly. He's made tennis infinitely more exciting as a result and long may it continue. You can actually make a valid argument in favour of any one of the three. To think there was a time Djokovic looked done, yet he keeps coming back and getting to balls that are impossible for others. What a player!!!
I must have seen this video a hundred times and I'm still baffled how fast Novak's moves. His spilt step, backhand and forehand defensive shots into offence, is simply beyond belief. Almost cat like movement, light underfoot and lightning fast! And he still manages to get back into position for the reply, if necessary. He's like a friggin' road block! RESPECT!
Federer: elegance, serve, his tennis looks the most like a "natural gift" Nadal: Power, Speed, Spin, unbreakable fighting spirit Djokovic: The tennis machine, stepped ahead of the tennis schoolbook and has the strongest mentality You may have your favourite and mine is Djokovic but on their own they are all outstanding in specific areas. i feel blessed that i am allowed to watch them play and i feel sorry for every great tennisplayer who were born in the same era.
Only Novak has a God Mode. It's not always switched on, but when it is, no player on the planet can do anything to him. Federer and Nadal felt the God Mode one too many times. His God Mode is tennis perfection. Happy birthday Novak and keep breaking all the tennis records!
@@sohammaity7790 yeah, Wawrinka has proven to be the arch nemesis... Having said that, both GS finals that Novak lost to Stan you could argue he wasn't in godmode after tiring QF and SF... But kudos to Stan. That Rolan Garros performance was unforgettable.
One point that showcases his reach and stretch the best is the one in the 2013 WTF final against Nadal. He played an INSANE point when Nadal was serving at 3-4 break point down. Went from defense to offense so quickly! Happy birthday Nole!
I believe that Novak is unbelievable athlete, in despite of being a Nadal fan. I don't know how he does it, day in and day out. People, say that Rafa's game is body taxing. How about Novak's game? For me to do all that and don't get injured is not human...
Everytime he slides makes me worry about his back foot...they way he positions it to reduce friction...it seems like a one fine line away from a sprain... unbelievable
How can you not love the man? He's an almost perfect tennis player. And I say "almost" because he doesn't have as many fans and GS as others, but I do think that's is changing quickly. Am I right?
One can take a Leaf out of Djokovich playing book towards life... never say die attitude 4 he said ..Defeat is never an Option ... whata mindset... IDEMO NOLE...
I just think the point against Wawrinka in US Open 2016 (2 game of that match) should have been here... I'd even dare to say it's the best defense I've seen in tennis history... 👀🤩🧠💣
His tennis IQ is so high. He anticipates so well. Amazing player.
Well said
He's got amazing legs to boot 😁
We witness that with Alcaraz now 🙂❤️
happy birthday to the greatest and my sporting idol. Novak

Yes an absolute stunner of a point! Djokovic has one of the most consistent ever.
@man bat Yet Federer has over 20 wins on Djokovic, yes indeed a weak era champion
Lol
Ruihan Wang no he doesn’t have 20 lmao
Ruihan Wang it’s something like 25:13
All of these points are possible because of ND footwork and sliding. Really a beauty to watch.
Happy Birthday, Novak! Your elastic movements in playing are fantastic. Nobody can do that in tennis history.
Absolutely true... NOBODY IN TENNIS HISTORY COULD EVER ACHIEVE TO SLIDE ON COURT (EVEN HARD COURTS) AS DJOKOVIC HAS. LEGEND.
GO NOVAK !!!!!! LOVE YOUUUUU FIGHTINGGGG
The best player ever by a country mile.
The best #1 ❤❤❤

Just stop writing this and try to appreciate him honestly and acknowledge the fact.
Happy B'day Novak..that was ferrer's trick shot by the way.
How many time did the commentator say you gotta be kidding me 😂😂
