I thought it would be an interesting idea to compare Federer and Djokovic on mental strength again. After 2011 and (early) 2012 the general consensus was that Djokovic had more mental strength than Federer.
He fought his way to a three slam season suriviving double matchpoints at the US open, back to back five setters at AO 2012 and outlasting Nadal several times, something which was thought to be impossible before.
It seemed as if no matter what you threw at him he'd come out stronger than before.
Obviously he isn't the same player he was back then, so I'm curious as to what the general consensus is now regarding their mental strength. (Nadal's not in the mix for obvious reasons.)
Do you think Djokovic has the edge, Federer, or are they about equal?
I'll end with the following quote:wink::
Adversity causes some men to break; others to break records.
