  • Brad Gilbert thinks Djokovic will win 6 USOs.

    From Whisper@21:1/5 to All on Fri Sep 15 00:21:01 2023
    That would put him ahead of Federer, Sampras & Connors as open era USO
    goat, only 1 behind Tilden's 7.

    I guess it's conceivable he'll be top 2 or 3 faves for next 2 USO's so possible?

    Djoker has been relatively unlucky at USO compared ot AO or Wimb? 10 finals could be easily 6-4 instead of 4-6 already)

    But then AO + Wimb record are clean as they can realistically get - maybe lady fortuna paid back there?
