2011, 2015: which year can be considered as the peak of Djokovic's prime?

I mean the peakest of peak of Djokovic's prime.

I think Novak Djokovic is in the final years of his prime. He isn't at his peak anymore. He may not be on a steep decline, but he is on the decline, nonetheless. 2011 and 2015 would probably go down as his best years.

He was better in 2011. Better competition as well, although you could argue that it took his top rivals some time to figure Djokovic out.

2015. Not as close as some people think either. Of course, 2011 will win the poll because "weak era"

Djokovic is at his best right now. Things he has done to his game has made him a better and less predictable player. Improved serve, improved slice, improved FH, better at the net (goes in more aswell), etc. 2011 version was predictable at the end and he got figured out. That is why he took Becker into his team.

Definitely 2015 for DJokovic Bhai. Why? Because he is beating GOAT player (Federer) in 2 backto-back Grand slam finals (Wimbledon and US open)

Very good answer, RF bhai. I am agree 100%.

He was better in 2011. His results were maybe better in 2015 but that's because of a weaker era. No Nadal, Fed or Murray to speak. Or anybody else either for that matter.

I think Djokovic's first 9 months of 2011 were better but as a whole year 2015 is superior because of his great indoor season.

I thought he was at his peak around about 2009 and 2010. The Fedal decline really benefited Djokovic.

I think 2006 is more likely to be his peak. The decline of Roddick and Haas opened the door for him. Both of those guys are his nemesis' - especially Roddick who post peak still had a winning record against Djokovic who was in his Indian summer of 09-10.

Don't forget Safin, the guy who has a better peak and backhand than Djokovic.

2015 > 2011
Although 3GS = 3GS,
WTF title (2015) > WTF RR (2011),
6 ATP1000 titles > 5,
FO final + beating Rafa > FO semi,
31 Top-10 wins > 21,
and YE ATP ranking points 16585 (2015) > 13630 (2011).

2006 was obviously his peak. It's just that the competition was too deep and strong at the time.

Result wise, it was 2015; level wise, 2011.

I actually think Djokovic was playing his best tennis during 2005/2006. The field was just too strong for him to win anything of note at the time.
