Except when you think I'm trying to say Hewitt and Djokovic are equals I'm not. I'm actually mainly trying to debunk the Murray >>>>>>>>>> Hewitt myth..
They're about equal in terms of peak play.
In terms of consistency I'd give the nod to Murray.
But I don't like when people say stuff like "Oh u guyz r krazy, Hewitt #1 for 80 weeks Muzza never got there even once lolz"
It's not as simple as that. No way does Hewitt reach #1 if the same age as Murray. He might still win a US Open title, but I don't think he gets Wimbledon and he definitely doesn't make it to as many slam finals as Murray has.
I think I already pointed out that for Fed to take #1 in 2012 he had to:
win WTF, make AO and RG SF, win 3 Masters and win Wimbledon all in the span of about 9 months.
In Hewitt's entire career his cabinet is not much better than that. 1 more US Open title, 1 less Masters title, 1 more WTF/YEC title, made AO F but never got to RG SF.
And even with all that, Fed was only #1 for a few months.
Nadal's 2013 season alone he won arguably more valuable (or at least equal) titles than Hewitt did in his career with 2 majors and 5 Masters (vs 2 majors, 2 Masters and 2 YEC). Even with that he barely took over Novak...
No way does Hewitt reach #1 if same age as Murray, absolutely no freaking way.
