I’ve never seen a winning mentality quite like it.

It’s a pity Wimbledon was cancelled last year, good chance he would be sitting on 20 Grandslams.

Nadal is very similar- just won’t give up.

Is there another sport where the best player in the world is so universally disliked?

It seems the world were excited by the Fedal rivalry and this kid from the eastern bloc comes in and ruins it.

Fed and Nadal get all the high class endorsements and media backing.

Fed has Rolex and Mercedes Benz sponsors.

Novak has Seiko and Peugeot.

I’m a Fed fan and therefore dislike Novak but can appreciate when it’s all over between the big 3 he will likely have all the important records.

Most weeks at No1

Most grand slams wins and finals

Most year end #1

Most atp tour final wins

Most masters 1,000 wins

Only man in the open era to hold all 4 grand slams and win each one twice.

But he will never get the Wimbledon record!

are you sure, could easily win the next 3

grand slam this year would seal it, the other two never even came close to that, Wilander in 88 last guy to seriously threaten it

Shapovalov has been great in this match and somehow finds himself 2sets down.

You at the this match ZK?

Yeah I was there today. Great day out.

Shapovalov played well but Novak too good on the key points.

He is going to win 20 to match Fed and Rafa.

Some match between Nadal and Medvedev. Medvedev is such a t**ser. Nadal has battled back to 2-2 after being 2-0 down.

That was a mental match last night

It was class and loved seeing Kygrios win given the holier than tho attitude from the commentators the whole match.
