After 2013 Did Novak Move out of Tier with Edberg, Wilander, and Becker

[McEnroeisanartist]

After 2013, do you think Djokovic moved out of a tier 3 great level shared with Edberg, Becker, and Djokovic and into his own tier between the tier 2 greats of Connors, Lendl, McEnroe, and Agassi?


He has more Grand Slam finals than all of them.

He has as many ATP World Tour Finals as indoor great, Boris Becker, with 3.

He he has finished two years ranked #1 tied with Edberg.

He has two more years ranked in the top 3 than Edberg and Becker.

He won three grand slams in one year like Wilander.

After 2013, do you think Djokovic moved out of a tier 3 and into his own tier

Ya, I heard the rent is cheaper.

You could maybe argue he's done more than Edberg and Becker, but Agassi? No, not having that. Agassi won 8 slams and they were achieved on all the surfaces. Agassi was probably worth than 8 slams as a player tbh, just maybe lacking a good serve in some tight semi finals and finals.

He needs another win at RG, W, or USO

Becker is still ahead. There were more indoor majors than just the YEC in the 90's and he won some of them.

He's still in the same tier, but I expect him to move into Connors-Lendl-Agassi tier next season.

 

[powerangle]

No, he's slid a little higher within the same tier, that's all.

No, he's slid a little higher within the same tier, that's all.

He is still broadly at the same level, but expect him to surge in the next few years.....as long as he stops throwing away slam finals that he really should be winning.

you might consider reading the OP again. he said moving into the Tier behind Agassi, connors, Lendl.

nobody would seriously rank Novak ahead of Agassi and Lendl now (but in 1-2 years maybe...).

 

[MauricioDias]

I agree with general opinion, I think he needs more slams next year to grow a little more and move.

He should be surging....but then again, he should have surged this year as well. He definitely needs to get his act together.

At the beginning of this year, he was maybe towards the bottom to middle of the "Tier 3" pack...now he's towards the top of the pack...but still within the same pack/tier.

Possibly, and by next year he will likely be in the Agassi league
