Agreed. Second "weakest" is 2015-2019, but 2015 and part of 2016 were very strong.

Not a single person under 30 years old has won a major
The answer is obvious
2015-2019
A completely and absolutely worthless two entire generations of players
Nothing compares

Let's not beat around the bush here. The answer is 2003-2007. Federer was able to take advantage and win the majority of his grand slams during this timeframe, before Djokovic and Nadal (other than clay) arrived.
2015- present makes 2004-2007 look like a golden era.

What's the difference between then and 2015-2020 where Djokovic has managed to rack up countless majors against completely horsesh*t competition?

It’s absolutely laughable that some vote 2003-2007 and ignore the obviously weaker 2000-2002 period. It shows the vendetta these people have against Federer.

Late 90s to 2002-03ish weakest out of those options. I have nothing against Agassi, but that was also the time he took his opportunity and padded his major tally.
Federer emerging and then Nadal later brought some balance and the scene definitely recovered and got stronger.

Surprisingly 18% of the voters agree with me so far that 2005-2009 was the weakest era. It was such an average era with no major threats to nadal and Federer.
also rightly so no one has voted for 2010-2014.

Daaaaaaaaaamn Sampras and Federer really vultured slams during weak ELO.

It's not mate. Late 90s early 00s wins this by a landslide.
15-20 being neck and neck with that period in the poll must be some big level of trolling by posters here.

You are right,But you ignore 11 votes for 15-20. If there is vendetta against Fed, so is there for Djokovic.

2015-2019 Nadal > 2003-2007 Nadal
In addition, 2015-2019 Djokovic still had to deal with a declined Federer, whereas 2003-2007 Federer had a Djokovic that was even worse (still a Djoke).

From weakest to strongest:
1) 1998-2002....1*
2) 2016-2020....1.5*
3) 2002-2006....3*
4) 2011-2015....4*
5) 2007-2011....5*
Legend
1* = very weak, 2* = mediocre, 3* = average, 4* = strong, 5* = very strong
PS: 2011-15 only gets a 4* because of the very strong period of 2011/2012, and to some extent 2013.

Why are people replying in a thread made for only riling up fanbases?
This is really a bait.
On topic 2000-2004 easily the weakest.
By strength
1.2010-2014
2.2005-2009=2015-2019
3.2000-2004

If someone searches on GPPD for the most used word, weak has to be the one.I mean, weak era day in day out; tennis must be such an weak sport.
There is no word "weak" here. The word is "weakest". Thus, it is relative; the weakest 5-year period in the last 20 years can be still very strong.

Of course, look at their opponents. At least 15 to 19 had 17 to 19 good level Rafa, decent Fed, 15 to 16 good level Andy, Wawa, and of course Novak. That lot there as a group are better than the best of 00 to 04 as a group.

Yes, exactly - but the OP clearly created the time frames so that many who would vote for that era reluctantly have to pick a period (2000 - 2004) containing some of Federer’s prime.

It seems that you were wrong.
