This ^. Djokovic's forehand is miles better than his backhand. His backhand is just so good it's mentioned more because it's a rarity. Great forehands are almost expected of top players.

Still, his forehand is nowhere near as good as Federer's if they're both compared on a good day.

Actually, Djokovic usually hit more Backhand winners than his Forehand winners, which is very rare in ATP Tour. That's why they considered his backhand the best in today's game. It is practically as good, if not better than his forehand side.

That's because most forehands players hit go to their opponent's forehands - which are also stronger than their backhands. It's generally harder to hit a winner to an opponent's forehand wing.
