Novak Djokovic as Tyrion Lannister

Tyrion Lannister is as adept with his words as Novak Djokovic is with his shots. Both men exert a huge influence on proceedings while others around them take them lightly at their peril. They may not draw all the limelight, but still they quietly continue to achieve.

It seems as though Tyrion’s climb to the very top is almost inevitable, while Djokovic also has a chance to become the Greatest of All Time in the years to come. His body is fueled by the most precise of gluten-free diets,  whereas Tyrion’s is centred more upon wine.

The world number one is so strong when backed into a corner, even when all hope looks lost, he continues to fight until the end. Tyrion also possesses the same fighting spirit and can never be discounted. Despite his setbacks, heading into Season 6 Tyrion seems to be at the top of his game. He will, however, continue to require Djokovic-like flexibility to get out of tricky situations going forward.
