    There is at least one very popular Italian being supported in London today. Novak for his success has never been popular with fans.

    For all his success, he’s never been a massive fan favourite Novak.

    I much prefer Federer personally, he’s just so graceful on and around the court, but I can easily see Djokovic ending up with more slams when they’re both retired.

    Plenty give Berrettini Novak in chance of winning.

    Like you I'm more of a Federer fan but not only will Djokovic likely end up with more Slams than him and possibly Nadal but his achievements are arguably greater than Federers when you look at the quality he was up against to win them all. He has just come fresh from Conquering Nadal on the clay too. He's certainly not charismatic but he's definitely impressive.

    I agree with that. Djokovic is the only one of the handful who've dominated men's tennis in the last 15 years who's still in good shape. There's a bit of a vacuum behind him, with no-one else consistently challenging and a few flattering to deceive.

    Can’t argue with any of that.

    It has been some era this with Federer, Nadal and Djokovic (and Murray for a brief spell too). I keep waiting for some of the younger ones coming through but the old guards are still coming through.

    Yeah, it’s about time some of the younger ones pulled through. Djokovic still standing could end up with 25 slams by the time he has finished.
