Fed 2007 - wins three
Fed 2008 - three slam finals, loses two

Nadal 2010 - wins three
Nadal 2011 - three slam finals, loses two

Djokovic 2011 - wins three
Djokovic 2012 - three slam finals, loses two

Djokovic 2015 - wins three
Djokovic 2016 - (???????)

Novak is currently going against the tide..

Djokovic 2016 - three slam finals, wins 2.. anything lower is a horror show for Djoko..

Fed 2008 had an absolute peak Nadal..
Nadal 2011 had an absolute peak Djoko..
Djoko 2012 had Fed, Nadal and Murray peaking..

Djoko 2016 has only a peak Djoko to deal with.. can he keep up with reasonable results.. i think so..

Another interesting fact:
Federer's second 3 Slam season was 2006. He repeated the same in 2007.
Djokovic's second 3 Slam season was 2015. ??????

These patterns can be fun to look, but past results from different players play no part in the future.

Agreed; esp. when of another generation and style! ;-)
 
As AceSalvo said, the competition was stronger for the other years you listed. Unless we see an in form Nadal or a Murray from the Lendl years next year, the competition will remain weak and Novak will continue to dominate. Wouldn't be surprised if he had another 3 slam year next year.

Yeah I know, just thought it was an interesting fact. Djokovic is more likely to do a Federer-esque 2007 than those years.

That would mean that he'd still be the clear no. 1 but would have to fend off younger "rivals" on the tour, especially in the Slams. In a way, that would be good to see.

Let's just say it wouldn't be a big surprise if Nole's '16 is like Fed's '07 instead of '08 or Nadal's '11! It wasn't like it was close with any of his rivals; esp. Nadal who he appears to own now! Why people keep giving Nadal credit and a real chance to win another FO anytime soon still escapes me! He might not even make it to a later round to see if Nole might choke another final against him! Nole proved his mettle in that quarter-final in June with little effort! ;-)

Nadal was poor in 2015 and probably will not be at such a level this year. I am not one of those thinking about Rafa forging another amazing comeback but when looking at how poorly Djokovic plays when getting to latter stages of the FO, nothing would surprise me.

Nadal is absolutely still a chance to claim a 10th FO title...agree that Djokovic owned him in 2015 but I highly doubt any player currently on tour (including Djokovic) would be writing him off as quick as you've just done.
Of course he will unlikely ever be the odds on raging favorite he once was in the French capital but he should sit very comfortably on 2nd or at worst 3rd line of betting.
No doubt if Djokovic continues his rampage into 2016 then things for the rest of he tour are going to be difficult & things like a favorable draw &/or banking on Djokovic having a rare off day might be required if others, including Nadal at FO, are going to make a serious claim at the title.

^ This, lol.

At the end of the day, fans of a certain player will cherry-pick historical patterns to suit their own player or bring down another player. OP is a Federer fan, judging by his avatar, so obviously he will find any sort of historical pattern which points towards Djokovic winning the minimal amount in 2016. In reality, it's all guesswork, but it's nice to bump these threads after a year or two and have a good chuckle. :p

OP is not against Novak but I agree it is nice bumping the pattern or prediction threads after a while.

Agree with first and last sentence. The rest is just completely off topic.
 
Novak will back up 2015 by winning at least 2 slams this year, but it wouldn't surprise me if he gets the CYGS as he's that superior to the rest of the field.
 
A player winning 3 GS is very rare. Federer did it 3 times. Djokovic did it 2 times. Nadal did it 1 time. It's hard to repeat it next year. Only Federer did it among the three.
Some Djokovic fans don't understand something. Novak won 3 GS this year because Federer is 34 years old and Nadal had a very bad year due to various reasons.
ND 2011 was the peak one we watched, not the one in 2015. Yes, he is one of the greatest ever and nothing can take that away from him. He has a chance to repeat a 3 GS season or even a CYGS in 2016, but only because Federer and Nadal are not peak anymore. I have a feeling that Nadal will ruin the party and his CGS dreams.

Exactly, so why then say later on in your post that the only reason he's achieving so much is due to Fedal's decline? Talk about giving with one hand and taking away with the other!

Djokovic is one of the greatest ever but he wouldn't win that many titles if Federer and Nadal were at their peaks. I am saying this because peak Federer is better than peak Djokovic. Nadal is an arguable case. That said, to make it clear it is NOT his fault that Roger and Rafa are not that great anymore. Some Djokovic fans act like as if Djokovic is winning the hardest way, it is OK to win easy because you are great and other greats are not that great anymore :). When Federer won so many GS, he didn't have as great rivals as Nadal and Djokovic either (at least in the beginning). In the end, it will all come down to the number of GS titles and so on. Djokovic has a hard path to catch Federer but he has a chance to get even with Nadal.

Djokovic has already proved he can win slams the hardest way so why does he need to keep on proving it? I'd say the guy deserves a breather considering the epics he's been involved in over the last few years!

Hypocrite Fed fans do what they do best - cherry pick data to prove their biased views. Nothing new here.

They are full of hatred. That's why logic does not mean a thing to them.
 
Logic is out the window here. Its a very interesting season ahead IMO to see if he can keep up the domination. Some people think its boring but for me its exciting to see who can take it away from ND.

Also with the Olympics thrown in there, I for one cant wait to see how it all goes:D
 
Logic dicates: nothing. Absolutely nothing. :)

A new path will be written for sure. Whether it's 3 more Slams, 2 Slams and an Olympic Medal, 1 Slam (as per the scenario outlined), maybe even 0 or 4.
 
At the very least he is guaranteed AO and Wimb.

RG is a question mark as it always has been and we know he doesn't always play his best at the USO.

You seem very unhappy about Novak dominating, what I suggest you do is unlike Federer retire from this forum, while you're still in your prime.

I'm not gating i'm sure deep down you're a warm kind hearted person, but just lacks the love a good humin being

Just sit back, relax and enjoy another year of utter Novak domination.

Please show me anywhere in this forum or on any other for that matter that CLEARLY says I'm unhappy. Don't presume things of the basis of another mans insecurities. I merely stated something interesting. WHERE IN THE OP DOES IT SAY DJOKOVIC WILL FAIL IN 2016?!?

You can't fool anyone. Nearly all of your posts scream bitterness and insecurities.

You sir are an idiot who decides to jump the gun. Insecure Djokovic fans everywhere, what else is new? Like Doctor said, I'm not bringing him down you fraud. I saw it on Twitter, so I shared it. Stop being so paranoid and insecure, can another fan of another player not talk about your favourite without being ridiculed? GTFO.

Again, a Fed fan who can't handle a conversation without handing out insults and calling names. Reported.

Ok fair enough, but no need for personal insults like "fraud" and "idiot" makes you come across as a hater, no need to get personal with other posters when were talking about this great sport we all love and sure opinions will be different especially between posters of rival players, but as long as lines dont get crossed with personal insults.

Happy new year.

Yeah I get your point but it annoys me when people presume things clearly based on their very own insecurities. It's like with certain posters if you don't scream praise for Djokovic, you're automatically a hater. That's hypocrisy at the highest level. Yeah I was harsh but tbh his type of posters almost deserve it. They bash and bash and bash all other players and then when someone else does the same (which I actually didn't here) they cry. But yeah, Happy New Year.

So calling people who disagree with you idiot and fraud is not bitter, and this thread, with the inherently flawed logic, is not nonsense at all.

He wasn't disagreeing, he said ''so obviously he will find any sort of historical pattern which points towards Djokovic winning the minimal amount in 2016''. I wasn't cherry-picking. Its that simple. Whether I was harsh or not I don't care. Are you like 13 to feel like I have insulted someone's integrity by calling them an idiot? You're avatar sums you up tbh but at the end of the day this argument is not needed. Add to the block list if you wish. Many other good posters here - you bring nothing.
