Did Djokovic cement his legacy in 2021?

[Jokervich]

3 slam year, double career slam, became the only person to beat Nadal at RG multiple times, held off the challenge of multiple younger players. Surely he cemented his legacy in 2021? (in before "no olympic gold")

2021 was a tremendous year for Novak. Must of been bittersweet as well being 1 match from a Calendar Year Grand Slam.

Cemented the fact that he is just short of being labelled the greatest IMO.

Almost

No, he merely kept himself in the race.

Yes, without a doubt. DCGS was huge and he also beat Nadal who was playing good in the tournament .

 

[TheNachoMan]

He cemented his legacy in 2011 when he whipped prime Fedal and the strongest era of tennis ever

 

[NeutralFan]

Had Fed or Nadal achieved the feat of defeating Djokovic at Australian open semifinal, we would never hear the end of it. Djokovic deserves full praise and respect for taking down Nadal who would have beaten anyone else.

He cemented it the last decade by making a pigeon out of Nadal.

Federer has the age excuse going for him at least.
