2011 Djokovic suffered a drastic fall after the USO, so no post-USO matches should ever be counted when discussing his dominance that year.

What it "dominance ratio"? I assume the higher the number the better, but I've never seen that stat before.

It's a tennis abstract invention, % of return points won divided by % of serve points lost

Very surprised to see Djokovic's serve stats actually improve this year.

Return game going downhill. Not a good sign for you guys.

Even though he had a few losses early part of this year he was playing great tennis . Unfortunately he ran into opponents who were on fire.

He set his mind to improve his serve after the surgery, but Novak being Novak he improved it back to peak and then some.
