Agree 100% with you, Djokovic did not play a singlle 10 tern player, The only one that he would have plated was De Minaur gave hum a walkover, Still believe that knee-op had something to do with the way Djokovic played,
I saw he had a slight limp when he walked up to receive his trophy, He was determined to play at Whimbledon - and after tt in the Olympic Gamess - but I think it would be bettter if he cut out Whimbledon and try for something he never achieved and that is to win Olmic Gold - which he never did. .

It was a pretty one sided final with a slightly weird ending. But Traz was in control throughout. It’s amazing the Joker was even in the final, but he clearly wasn’t ready for the level today. His opponents leading up to the final weren’t top 5.
I do think he was tactically wrong all game. He went to net far more often instead of turning it into a ground shot contest. Traz has looked vulnerable in long ground shot rallies in the lead up. Joker seemed to want to end the points fast. His win/loss at the net was a disaster.
But congrats to Carlos who played a fine final with some spectacular points….like the flick swing volley at 30 all/4 all in the third. Having won France and Wimbledon he is clearly number one, regardless of what the rankings say.
Novak’s best moments were in the concession speech which he handled superbly, not taking the opening to use the knee as an excuse. Nice bloke, very misunderstood.
