Lol Lads, seriously?

They're tested a lot. Sure no one could ever beat a test.

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.

I must have a plate of Broccoli and Parsnips tomorrow to increase my physical output and mental toughness.

That is only part A, now for part B, you must find a Serbian quack that will hold a slice of bread against your stomach and diagnose you with gluten sensitivity

Try to find a vegetable that improves your ‘bantz’ pal, you’re making the same jokes over and over

Feel free to come up with an actual example of the cheating you’re accusing Djoko of m8.

I won’t hold my breathe. ?

I'd like an example too, Nollaigh.

PEDs, is it? You're looking for an example of an athlete taking PEDs? Fuck, this could take upwards of seconds.

Or do you want us to actually catch the fucker ourselves? I mean, we can give it a go, but I want @Nollaig O Muracu to hold the piss cup, there's no knowing where that scumbag has put his knob, so I'm not going anywhere near it.

Fair enough, KD?

Well put.

Like it's not the done thing to be suspicious when a 36 year old man starts dominating a sport where traditionally the best years of a player's career are over once they hit 30.

Sampras14 slams, one in his 30s, 32 to be precise

, Lendl, 8 Slams, all in his 20s
Reached 19 Finals, one in his 30s


Becker, 6 Slams, all in his 20s

Agassi, 8 Slams, 2 in his 30s, his last one at 33 the young pup!

McEnroe, 8 Slams, none in his 30s

Edberg, 8 Slams, none in his 30s, his last one coming at 26

Connors, 8 Slams, 2 in his 30s, last one cming at 31.

So there we have 60 Grand slam wins, 5 won in their 30s, by a collection of some of the greatest players of all time.

Players with most grand slam titles in their 30s as Novak Djokovic breaks record

Serena Williams is the only other player to win 10 majors in her 30s.

Novak has 11 slams in his 30s. The next best is Nadal with 8. Next is Fed with 4.

Then we have Laver, who won 4 at 31.

Ken Rosewall won 4 in his 30s back in the 70s.

But no, nothing odd at all at all about the numbers won by Novak, Rafa and Roger. I mean, you wouldn't even be a small bit suspicious, would you?
