Brad Gilbert declares Djokovic as the best he has even seen.

"He just has a great ability to focus on what's in front of him. A lot of times that stuff can fuel you, but if you don't have the ability, it doesn't matter. His ability and when he's playing at his level, it's just insane. He plays just a lot of quality shots, and he doesn't make unforced errors, and he makes you have to beat him. He plays cross court so often to big targets, but yet he's making progress. You start to look at him, like, 'Uh oh, he's in lockdown mode.' And if he's in lockdown mode, see if you can win a set. I don't know if he has a best or worst surface, that's how good he is. If he's totally playing at his highest level, I've never seen anybody, from a courtside position, from where I sit and where I watch, that plays better than him."

More and more people will be proclaiming this in the coming years in all likelihood.

Gilbert ... if Nadal wins, he will marvel how he has never seen a warrior like him, the greatest of all time! If Federer wins, he will marvel at the unique artist that Federer is, the greatest of all time! If Nagal wins, he will marvel at how he has never seen a talent like him, one day overtaking them all and becoming the greatest of all time ...

Underlined Italic is proof of talking from his bum.

If Nagal wins does it add to Nadal's 18 to make it 19?

Not a big Gilbert fan. Was Agassi’s coach for ages and never gave Pete credit for any for his great performances in big matches against Andre.

But I do agree Djokovic has no weakness.

don't remember at the time, but as an announcer he has talked numerous times about Sampras' ability to put serves on a dime while playing Andre, and how frustrating that was

Yeh basically calling him a serve bot.
