Novak Djokovic is evil? That is quite the stretch.
Good shows Evil some love. 6-love to be exact. Nadal takes set one.

Evil? No. But definitely the least likeable of the Big 3.Originally Posted by texasdave
You can be the least likable of 3, and still be likable. I love to watch Djokovic play tennis.
I love matching Djokovic play but I’ll never root for him over Federer or Nadal.
Djokovic is obviously a great player. A good case can even be made he’s the best of the big 3. But I’ve never especially enjoyed watching him play. Defensive tennis is boring to me. I prefer the Federer and Nadal style so much more. To me, there were few things less enjoyable to watch than Djokovic/Murray matches where every point seemed to be a 20 shot rally.

Nadal and Djokovic seem like they're so far ahead of everyone else on the planet. I know it ends some time, but I'm not sure it ends soon. At the end of every season we hear pronouncements that it's the end of the dynasty. Yet they just keep coming. I'm not sure Federer can get back at age 39 (and he turns 40 before the next U.S. Open). What I think we're going to see is Rafa and Novak battling it out over the next three years for who gets the top seat on tennis' Mt. Olympus.
Friends don't let friends fWAR.
Coddle thy pitchers.
King Nadal!

Anyone watching the ATP Championships? Strange time in the sports universe with so many major events getting crammed into a short calendar space.
