Back in 84, John McEnroe beat up Jimmy Conners 6-1 6-1 6-2 in 80 minutes when I was out in Corfu watching. This feels somewhat similar though Djokovic won't throw the towel in.
Turned out to be Djokovic’s second heaviest defeat in a grand slam final, winning only 10 games in total 2-6 2-6 6-7.
He had only previously lost three finals in straight sets: French Open 2020 vs Nadal (where he won 7 games 0-6 2-6 5-7), US Open 2021 vs Medvedev (where he won 12 games 4-6 4-6 4-6) and Wimbledon 2013 vs Murray (where he won 13 games 4-6 5-7 4-6).

Italian Sinner is still number 1 despite this straight sets win against the Serbian GOAT for the Spanish boy Wonder Alcaraz.

Soapbox Sam you doughnut 🤦🏻♂️ don't text the score at 5-4, 40 love and try to be clever.

Federer, Nadal, Djokovic had dominated the slams with Murray and Wawrinka the best of the rest.
I do believe Novak will carry on for a couple more season unless he starts losing in quarter finals.
