If he gets past Nadal
Sunday is a formality
The slam this year to end the year on 21 would be on

We will blame the seeding committee for this
Very different game at 2pm on Sunday

Djokovic is the goat.
Like most greats he is pretty unlikeable but fair play to the cunt

Even I know about Nadal and what he normally gets up to on French clay. I was sick of it just knowing about it. Well done Novak, mate.

The slam this year would be a fitting way to move to the head of the table
No man has won the slam in the open era have they?

Think laver was the last in 68

Graf famously did the golden slam in 88 adding the Olympics as well

Doubtful Djokovic plays in Tokyo?

If the open era is defined to start in 1968, then Rod Laver and the ultra villian Margaret Court both won the lot in 1969 and 1970 respectively.

Only the French stopped him back in 2015, but he was playing perhaps the best tennis ever seen around then so we will see if he can maintain this level.

Ironic the 1 year the French was gifted to Federer he had already lost to nadal in Australia, the one and only time he won it.
Then del Potro won the open

Has to be said from its inception until quite well into the 80s a lot of the top players didn't go to Australia
John lloyd made a final ffs

From what I saw in the semis pavy looks the better player, but she has a rep for being nervous apparently The other girl seemed to have Ice in her veins in her game.
I think the Russian in 3
