Djokovic 2007 could have beaten Djokovic 2011 and 2015 at the US Open

I found you on facebook, you're right I probably would **** myself if you were in front of me

You're the one resorting to calling me an idiot but I'm the one that's hurt?

I'm not on facebook.

That was unintentionally very funny I was saying you the were the troll in the gif.

You ruin everything!

AO: Ferrer >Hewitt

RG: Ferrer>>>>Hewitt

WB: Hewitt>>Ferrer

USO:Hewitt~Ferrer

Hewitt won the USO 2001, so Hewitt on USO is better than Ferrer.

He thinks Ferrer, who never even beat Federer once, would beat Sampras in a US Open final.

Hewitt won the USO 2001, so Hewitt on USO is better than Ferrer.

And Wimbledon, and the YEC (2x), IW, Queen's (4x) etc...

There's no comparison.

Even stylistically, Hewitt has more in common with Chang than he does with Ferrer.

Ferrer was also an aggressive counter puncher like Hewitt, Hewitt was just better at what he did though.

I've watched Ferrer alot of times and my impression was he always tried to be pretty aggressive and when he could he tried to dictate with his FH.

Ferrer was a solid player, I'll miss him.

Ferrer wasn't a counter puncher, more like a grinder with a very good forehand. Both he and Hewitt were aggressive players at their best though. Funny how they get called weaponless when it's far from the truth.

When I think of Ferrer, I instantly remember that huge choke job against Djokovic at Paris 2013.

Ferrer leans more towards the aggressive side, but used his great defence also to counter powerful players. He was pretty balanced, but lacked power and a serve.

Still an amazing career for such a small dude. Very talented. He really made most out of his career. That's someone who can reitre with no regrets at all.

Does that make Djokovic a counter puncher? Being a good defender =/= counter puncher.

Lol no. I didn't say that. I mean he could counter punch when he had to or needed to. But his mindset leaned towards being aggressive and be in command.

Exactly

Peak Djokovic can lose to peak Federer, it's not a surprise.

The issue isnt that just he lost but that he was humiliated in straight sets. This is peak Djokovic we are talking about losing a grand slam final in a preferred surface in straight sets to Federer.... such humiliation... statistically there is no doubt 2007 is the best Novak we have seen at the USO:

Ace percentage:
2007 8.9%
2011 5.6%
2015 7.1%

First serve %

2011 64%
2015 63.5%

First serve point won

2015 69.9%

Return point won
2007 40.2%
2011 48.5%
2015 43.8%

In addition losing finals while in peak

This proves peak Nole is no match for peak Federer. Peak Djoko may well be the second best of all time, but he will always be second fiddle to the GOAT.

Considering peak djokovic who is uninjured, in form and world no 1 is inferior to Zverev, wawrinka, murray, kachanov, old fed i'd argue that Djokovic peak is comfortably top 200 of all time
