Those players are far better than players Fed played in his weak era.
I don’t massively agree outside of Murray. Using Wawrinka as a prime example - an older Federer had minimal trouble with him, yet he gave Djoko all sorts of bother.

Roddick would of won a few more titles if it was Djokovic and not Federer around then. It’s not saying he’s anywhere near Novak, but neither is Stan.

He's gonna win it, isn't he?

Tsitsi took a break and somehow managed to return in worse state than before.

Tsitsipas has gone to pieces, didn't expect he'd be able to keep his level up but looking awful out there.

As good as the next gen is, they just don't have the weapons that the big 3 have/had.

Nadal/Federer - the greatest forehands of all time
Djokovic - the greatest return of all time + the best backhand of all time

Then on top of that, Nadal/Djokovic are the two best athletes of all time.

First time he's ever come back from 2 sets down in a grand slam final. Goat doing goat things.

Seemed so inevitable once he went up in that third set.

Tsitsipas played well, but Djokovic just went up a gear and he couldn't live with him anymore.
