Hall of Fame
I know it's not even close to be over,but let's see whole resume so far:
----------------------------------------
2006 = BREAKTHROUGH YEAR. His first atp titles.
2007 - 2010 = CONSTANTLY 3rd. Thats how I see it. Federer was at his peak, Rafa too fierce. Djokovic was distant 3rd and also far better than anyone else. Other: His first GS , couple of M 1000 , health problems and two things that give him confidence - epic win vs Federer at US Open 2010 and DC 2010.
2011 = DJOKOVIC 2.0. Birth of goat, Atomic Djokovic. Only year when he played attacking tennis. 9:1 vs Fedal.
2012 - 2014 = ONE GS PER SEASON. Even though he was most consistent player in the world, he only won 3 GS in 3 years. With 5 losses in finals. He won all three WTFs.
2015 - 1/2 2016. DOMINANCE. Most dominantning player that ever played. From 2015 AO to 2016 RG. It took peak Wawrinka to snatch only one Slam. And his greatest achievment NCYGS+WTF.
1/2 2016 - 1/2 2018. WORST PERIOD. From 2016 WIM to 2018 RG. Maybe he was burnt out,maybe Pepe mess with his mind,maybe natural drop of form. Who knows. That was worst period of his career. Awful losses to Cecchinato,Querrey or Istomin. USO 2016 Final was only result worth mentioning.
1/2 2018 - 2020. TWO GS PER SEASON. Epic comeback at the WIM 2018 and couple of epic matches wins in five sets- Nadal 2018,Federer 2019,Thiem 2020. Yep,even though he didn't win 2 GS in 2020 - that year seemed like 2019 add to that covid and USO disq. I feel he would won atleast one
2021 = HISTORY. We all know how close he was to win CYGS. Only one match. And Olympics loss. At the end of year- Big 3 were 20/20/20.
2022 = MR.PRINCIPAL. Princips over career. With not allowed to play at AO and USO - He still won Wimbledon. Nadal still 1 GS ahead.
2023 = NOVAK DJOKOVIC aka GOAT. Once again- 3 Slams Season. Only Alcaraz in beast mode took him down in Wimbledon. And finally after USO 2023, we can 100% say - Novak Djokovic is clear GOAT. I say it after RG 2023,but still was debate. Right now ,there is no debate. 2 more slams is huge factor.
