Djoker is so good. He’s routined great great players at Aussie Open over the years. There is nowhere to attack him on the court. It’s like not being able to hit a boxer, but that boxer also has knockout power in both hands. Props.

Djokovic's status as an all-time great was never in doubt, but sitting just two Slams behind Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer, he has the potential to severely shake up the debate this year for the most accomplished men's player of all time.

You’re the biggest inspiration, congratulations and thank you for giving us all of these amazing memories♥️ Hope you get to celebrate with your family soon!!🥰♥️ #NoleFam
