Oh yes, the intellectual dimension of "my fav player is better" shenanigans. Disgustingly hilarious.
For the record my favorite player is Fed by a mile.
But that doesn't mean I'm gonna call him an intellectual.

Is Djokovic more intellectual than Federer and Nadal?
What books you read, movies you watch or music you listen to does not tell anyone about how intelligent you are. What university you went to, or what job you do also tells you nothing.
The only thing that tells people how intelligent you are is how quickly you can do speed math and how quickly you can spot patterns in those shape-shifting tests - basically, your IQ.
Hence, there could be a homeless, unemployed knucklehead who could never be bothered to read past 'The Hungry Caterpillar' and whose only hobbies were to get drunk and start fights - but if he has an IQ of 160 he'd still be much more intelligent than a Harvard-educated brain surgeon who listens to Chopin and reads Shakespeare but has an IQ of 120.
The beauty of IQ is that we can categorize people's whole intellect into a single stat and judge quantitatively with perfect accuracy whether they're brighter or thicker than the next guy.
And if we had some natural disaster and I needed to pick someone clever to stick with, I'd pick the homeless guy with the 160 IQ over the brain surgeon every time.
I really hope you're being sarcastic..

I was thinking the same thing. There is so much more to intelligence than an IQ score. Very narrow minded to think it's the end all be all of just how smart someone is.
lol its tennismoron182...resurgent.

Are there any hipsters among the players? lol.
There are plenty of intelligent people who listen to Rap and Rock.
One of the oldest myths that was proven untrue. If anything several researches sugges that trance music develops the child's intelligence more than any other.
Gangnam, Slumdog, Guetta, djoking around like an ass, wearing wigs in ads... that should settle it for me.
Since you brought it up, you prove it.

What I have to prove?
The trouble is these days people are new-age hippies who are scared of being 'insensitive' by classifying people by stats. They're probably scared of themselves being classified as dumb if they do badly on an IQ test.
But really, IQ tests are the definitive way to objectively measure intelligence. You can throw all your achievements/education/career out the window - all you need is that score to know how bright someone is.
You created this thread so why don't you prove that Nole is more intellectual than Fed and Nadal.
I have not made the claim that Djokovic is more intellectual than Federer and Nadal, and therefore I do not have to prove it.
Is Paris Hilton more intellectual than Djokovic?
Is a 5-year old more intellectual than Djokovic?
Is a donkey more intellectual than Djokovic?
LOL.
Fed likes some classical music as well, though I don't think opera. But he's had Beethoven and Chopin pieces on his i-pod. And last year he went with his mom to a Beethoven violin concert in Rotterdam for her b-day. OK, it was a b-day outing for her but doubt they would have gone if he hated that kinda stuff.
I do not see how anyone can make sensible argument to support claim that a donkey is more intellectual than Djokovic.

You mean random articles about traits which have been shown not to correlate at all with intellect?
Does this mean it was a 'sensible argument' to support your CLAIM that Djokovic was more intellectual than Federer and Nadal?
But accroding to you, statement needs to be proven otherwise it's just an opinion. And since you can't prove Nole is more intellectual than a donkey, what we have left is nothing but an opinion.
a plate of overcooked noodles is more intellectual than the nadal... not sure it's really a significant compliment.http://www.wqxr.org/#!/articles/top-5-105/2012/oct/11/top-five-famous-classical-music-fans/
