Why don't we just compare the # of slams at the same age? That should settle it.

Djokovic got hot for that tournament, he retired against Roddick the next year.

If these are the type of threads that are gonna be posted until the season starts again, then the AO can't come fast enough.

Going by that logic, Hewitt and Safin are better than Federer.

I guess 20 year old Safin and Hewitt are better than Federer, too, and have more "potential".

thank you for leading me to my point. The expected result. This 2011 FO win over Djokovic was an upset in many ways. As was the montreal match. Federer won the 2007 AO, 2007 USO, 2007 Dubai. The expected result for a world number 1.

So 5555 can post this thread all he wants.. it just shows a match that prime Federer choked away. He redeemed himself a month later.

Also, i Love the quotes. does 2011 not count as peak Djokovic now?

Do you seriously believe he'll ever have a season as good as that again?
