Apart from the end of 2014 and 2015, Djoker's looked more like a transitional champ than a dominating force.
Man, that's some dominance right there! Clearly equal to a guy that never lost to players double or triple the caliber of Nishikori.
Djoko ain't surpassing Federer, you're dreaming if you believe his level is comparable to Federer's from 2004-2006 "these last few years".
2011?
Yeah, 2011 too. Point is that he is hardly the same force Federer was from 2004-2006 from 2011-2015.
Who was?
Djokovic.
For these three months I have been here, I have seen and heard more of other players' fans crying, as well as underrating and insulting Djokovic than his own fans writing out of control posts.
I meant that no other player(at least in the Open era) has been as dominant as Federer was during that three year stretch so it's really no big deal that Djokovic hasn't been able to either.
Yeah, I agree.
Federer never had 3 consecutive 3 slam seasons either.
I meant 3 consecutive multi-slam seasons, sorry.
He's a bit harsh on djoker, that's OK.
Every one of his match threads is filled with people that find him boring. What does make them keep watching him and crying on these threads if that is the case I don't know...
I still think he's been a dominant number 1 overall since 2011. If people think Sampras was one in his best five year period(93-97), they should think Djokovic is too.
I don't think he was dominant from 2012-2014.
He wasn't dominant in those three years but I'm talking overall. He's won 9 majors (including two 3 slam seasons), the same as Pete did in his best five year stretch, is the only player to win 3 successive WTFs(possibly 4 in the next 12 days) and has won 40 titles in total, including a staggering 21 Masters 1000s and finished as YE#1 for 4 of the last 5 years. I understand you don't like him Saby but those are stats that should be afforded a huge amount of respect.
I understand the Pete comparison, which is where I think he's going to end up when his career is finished.
Nadal was injured for most of 2012. He wouldn't have ended the year at No.1 even if he won multiple majors. Take out Nole in 2012, and I guarantee Federer ends the year at No. 1.
Nadal is just a bad indoor player.
The H2H record is a heavily skewed stat, I believe peak Federer would have a fighting chance against peak Nadal on every surface apart from clay. 2007/2008 Wimbledon is what I'm going to quote.PeterHO said:
On outdoors, grass ia probably the only place fed has a decent chance.
It's not too hard to figure out.
So that makes him a transitional champ? Good to know where we can rate you on knowledge and sensible input.
Quote where I said "as of 2015 Novak is a transitional champ", fanboy?
Its more or less the opposite in what you Novak protectors are doing 24\7. Only thing is that there is so many novak fanboys in here. You complain more about us that think he is boring that we saying its boring. One saying its boring and 3 of Novaks fanboys complain about that again. Its you fanboys that put so much energy into that subject and your making it bigger than it really is. Why just not accept that some think its boring? How can that even annoy you guys? I don't get it.
Disagree. There were more people complaining about his game than his fans countering that last week. Not to mention that not every Novak fan was protecting him, since not all are persistent enough to talk about same stuff over and over again.
