Look m8, you keep believing this fairy tale if you like.

It makes you look very very naive, to put it politely.

Sorry for dealing with facts and not believing something until I actually see actual concrete proofs or even half credible accusations .

Other than your ‘he’s too old to be competing at this level’ you have nowt to offer on this topic pal…just the shit bantz based on absolutely nothing ?

Here’s some free advice: you shouldn’t bother watching this sport anymore.

A few examples of his cheating would be helpful if you don't mind Nollaig (h) ?

That is the evidence m8. Every single one of the greats had their time, and then declined, usually beginning that decline in their early 30s and being a busted flush by 35.

Not one of them ever dominated the game like this at 36.

Use your eyes m8.

I have a question for you. I saw a 25 year old Novak visibly wilt in a final at 25 at Flushing Meadows but 36 year old Novak is dominating mens tennis and hardly breaking sweat to do it.

How do you think this is possible?

 

[marco 2005]

No evidence then, quelle surprise ?

lol.

Are you seriously suggesting that you don't think it might be a little bit odd that a man this old is dominating tennis? Not even a little bit suspicious?

Yes, in fact I’m finding it fascinating.

You’re choosing to be a cynical, i’m choosing to believe he’s the greatest and that we’re privileged to witness him perform on court.

If he ever gets done for doping I’ll probably stop watching the sport altogether.

So am I. The most fascinating thing about it, is how no one in the tennis world has even questioned it.

No, sorry. I don't think I'm being cynical, just realistic. If a 36 year old footballer was doing similar I'd be the same.

Fair enough.

lol - pretty much everyone is questioning it pal, every single TV pundit/tennis watcher wonders how the hell he does it...if anything, Djoko is one of the most tested players on the ATP tour

from the 2022 top 10 players, Djokovic is one of the players the most tested in tennis : 3rd with 21 tests, which are random and unplanned...as in, they can occur in the middle of an Open/Slam or out of competition times.

Fair enough.

Nollaigh, I think you've lost the argument there conclusively.
