Do you think Djokovic's 2011-2016 will be as productive as Federer's 2003-2008

[McEnroeisanartist]

From 2003-2008:
Federer went 459-56 (89.12%).
Federer won 13 Grand Slams
Federer reached 17 Grand Slam Finals
Federer won 53 titles
Federer reached 68 finals

For Djokovic to be as productive, he would have to do the following in 2016:
currently 374-41 (90.12%) - I think he won't get near 459 match wins, but will have higher win/loss %
Win 3 more Grand Slams
Reach 1 more Grand Slam Final
Win 10 more titles
Reach 12 more finals

I feel sleepy now.

 

[Fedeonic]

it's now or never for Djokovic to close the gap.

Win 2 more Grand Slams

He needs 3 more majors.

Reach 2 more Grand Slam Finals

Just 1 more.

Surely Federer's best six year period was 04-09 seeing as he won 14 slams.

The scary thing for Fed fans like I am is that Novak will probably be able to have a 2015-2020 that is better then his own 2011-16. Too many years in between with 1 slam.

If Novak wins 4 this year and 2-3 slams next year he's probably better off using 2015,16,17 as the basis for his peak domination.

And if I am right about this, then Djokovic will end up holding virtually every record.

This is wildly unlikely tho. Competition will improve and Djoker will regress during 17-20.

Since we are now comparing the current period with that amazing dominance of Federer in the past, at least it is slowly being accepted that since 2011 it has been a Djokovic era.

Where exactly is this improved competition coming from? Raonic and Thiem? lol.

 

[VexlanderPrime]

Either of those 2 could beat Djoker in slams as early as 2016 or 17. By 2018-20 it will only get harder and harder for him to stay on top.

Unless Novak loses to players other than Stan/Murray in 2 of the 4 majors, he has nothing to fear about the competition.

It will be more of the same 2015.

I'll believe it when I see it.

More productive? Got to be Fed..Djokovic lost a lot of important matches in 2012-2014 which cost him..

Wrong calculation - 1) 459+56 = 515 2) 459/515=89.12% (2dp)

2004-09 Federer era
2010-10 Nadal era
2011-16 Djokovic era

With seasons like 2011-12 reserved for backup.

The comparisons should be between 04-07 and whatever. I understand why you would want to dilute that, however.
