Novak himself has seen what you wrote? Or just his team?

His official website workers spotted my thread and used it to create an article. I doubt he personally works there, he seems a lot more occupied with posting on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

If this is indeed your work, I am little bit disappointed that they didn't find a way to properly acknowledge it. They should do.

It is my work, but I don't mind that. If they had to acknowledge everyone from whom they got some stats from, they would never have free time for themselves. :D

Example, Thanks Doctor/Lawyer for compiling this list?

List originally compiled by Talk Tennis at Tennis Warehouse Forum member "Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil" on (date and link). Even nicer touch would be to contact the source in advance and ask for permission (even if it is not required) to use it or, even better, to ask the man for permission to use his full name as the author of the list.

This has nothing to do with Djokovic, but with staff that take care of his website. There are proper ways and as they read the list they could read this discussion as well and adjust their practice or even amend the list with proper acknowledgment. I don't think that Djokovic deserves such service for his website.

I didn't write my own book mate. I just became an upgraded version of Wikipedia for half an hour, posting some stats that required just a little more research than usual. Then again, being a Djokovic fan who follows him regularly made this easy and fun to do. :)

It is not about you, it is about them. They should do the right thing regardless.
 
Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil said:
Well I am making a point that I didn't do anything amazing to get personal acknowledgement from his website. That or I am too modest.

You are too modest. What happened most likely was that they wanted to put some conclusive remarks about the season and staff responsible for this task took a short-cut instead of researching himself/herself. Somebody was paid for your work without being nice and saying thank you.

Oh well... I am happy enough with the fact that I was even in a position to create something like this. The season Djokovic had is a reward enough for me. :) They can enjoy too and act like they wrote this, I will not be irritated one bit with that.

Agreed. They should have at least contacted him about this. They didn't exactly steal anything, it's just that this way it looks like they don't care much about other people's hard work. It doesn't feel right for me.

What are the possible milestone for 2016 Novak?
 
Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil said:
It is a new year and there are dozens of tournaments left. Anyone could achieve something big.

Agreed. But am interested in which milestone he can possibly achieve this year. The obvious one is become the 1st person to win a hard court tournament 6 times. In the process tying Lendls 17 consecutive finals.
 
All just incredible from him, very well done. My favorite feat he did in 2015 was reaching the finals of all majors, which I believe was last done by Federer in 2009.

The greatest, he was tonight. Not just tonight, but throughout the entire 2015. So many impressive matches, so many great shots, such a cool head. He was THE man to beat.
The incredible season for the best player in the world has come to an end in fantastic fashion. He won WTF again, beating his two biggest rivals along the way. 9th time this year the great Fedal were 2nd best to one man, and an astonishing 45th time overall. But that is not all. This year, he has achieved so many Open era milestones, small and large, and a lot of them will hardly be beaten by anyone else anytime soon. Here, they are:

Second man alongside Federer to have multiple 3 Slam seasons
First man since Federer in 2007 to defend the Wimbledon title

First man to knock out all other defending Slam champions in a calendar year
6th man with double digit Grand Slam titles
First man to win 6 Masters in one year
First man to win 6 Masters at least three times (IW, Miami, Rome, Montreal, Shanghai, Bercy)
First man to win 4 Masters at least 4 times (IW, Miami, Rome, Bercy)
First man to win an Indian Wells-Miami double three times
First man to win an Australian Open-Indian Wells-Miami triple two times
First man to win first three Masters of the year (Indian Wells-Miami-Monte Carlo)
Joint-most decorated player at Indian Wells, with 4 titles
Most decorated player at Shanghai Masters, with 3 titles
Most decorated player at Bercy, with 4 titles
First man to win 3 Bercy titles in a row
First man to participate in 8 Masters finals in a year
First man to win 5 Masters in one year on two occasions
First man to win 5 consecutive Masters in which he participated (done twice)
Biggest number of Masters wins in a season – 39
Biggest number of hard court Masters titles – 19
Second longest Masters winning streak (30, only bettered by his other streak – 31 )
Biggest amount of points (16.785)
Biggest lead over number 2 (8.535)
First number 1 not to drop any ATP points for the entire 12 months, from Shanghai 2014 semis to 2015 WTF RR
First man to beat Nadal at every big clay tournament
First man to beat Federer five times in one season
First man to beat Nadal, Federer and Murray at least 20 times each
Biggest number of wins against the rest of the Big Four in one year - 15
First man since Federer in 2007 to hold number 1 ranking for an entire calendar year
Longest run of final tournament appearances in one season – 15 finals in a row
Joint 4th with Lendl and McEnroe with 4 year-end number 1 rankings
5th all-time player on the list of number of weeks spent at number 1, about to enter a 174th week of his reign
Record number of top 10 wins in a season - 31
First man to have at least 20 wins over top 10 players in 4 seasons
First man to beat all top 10 players in a calendar year
Longest winning run at World Tour Finals – 15 wins in a row
First man to win 4 WTF titles in a row
Highest amount of prize money in one season (21 592 125 $)...
After so many painful years before 2011, and a couple of disappointments in 2012-2014, Novak Djokovic has responded in the best possible way, having the best season since Laver 1969. How long will he keep this amazing level of performances going? Nobody knows. But two things are certain. 1. He has undoubtedly sealed his place in the highest league of tennis players, and 2. He is now going to rest and enjoy reminding himself of all these magical moments that happened this year.
You deserved this more than anyone else Novak. Whenever people doubted you, you proved them wrong in the best and classiest way possible. For me, you are the best sportsman in the world and best inspiration there is right now. Many many congratulations to you for this miraculous year, as well as all the achievements in the previous ones, and I hope you keep amazing us with your fantastic tennis and wish you all the best in 2016 and beyond.

It was all about him this year - Djokovic finishes the year with a 5th WTF crown, a personal best 82-6 record and a record 11th title
AJDE NOLE!!! :)​

Did they repost it? I didn't notice that.
It is an excellent start of the season. If this season turns out to be anywhere near as successful as 2015, I will definitely create that thread.
 
Novak, like Federer and to a lesser extent Nadal, has reached a stage of legend when he breaks records left and right. Many of those records have been sitting there for decades...
Amazing time for his fans.
 
Wow he really achieved all of that? The season seems much more incredible now after reading all of the milestones. Thanks for taking your time to create this Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil.

Also Novak overtook Nadal for the second best winning percentage ( and hopefully he'll snatch #1 from Borg soon )
and he overtook Lendl, Sampas, Connors and Nadal for #2 of Grand Slam points total.
