Federer's 6/7 GS titles W05-AO07 vs NCYS

Which one is most impressive?

Federer's only loss in a Slam from Wimbledon 2005 to Australian Open 2007 was to Nadal in the French Open 2006 (clay prime). Winning 6 out of 7 Grand Slam titles during that period.

Vs

Djokovic's consecutive four Grand Slam titles from Wimbledon 2015 to French Open 2016.
 
I think a much better and closer comparison would have been if you stated Djokovic winning five out of six slams, from AO 2015 to RG 2016, which includes a NCYGS and his only loss being a RG slam final (2015) to Stanimal.

But from your list, I will certainly go with Federer. That is 6 slams to 4, difference is too big for me.

Have to agree with this. However, I wouldn't be surprised if Djoker went on to win USO and next year's AO, which would take him to 7/9. Put in an Olympic gold medal there, and you're definitely looking at GOAT-worthy numbers.

I am certain it would be 7 out of 9, due to RG 15 and W 16 losses, but still mighty impressive regardless.
 
Like Hitman said, it would be better if you picked AO15-RG16 for Novak. With only one Slam difference between his and Fed's best period, it comes down to whether you prefer quantity (Federer has 6 while Novak has 5) or variety (Djokovic has all 4 while Federer doesn't have RG).

I wonder who's OP's favorite player?:cool:
 
If I could give Rafa one, I'd give him the Roger achievement. But mainly because Rog came up against one of the toughest challenges in tennis if not the toughest when it came to winning the one slam he didn't win. Further, Rog's is simply more dominant.
I am however very biased though, I rank Rafa's RG 08- AO 09 higher than Nole's NCYGS because it had the Olympic gold and 2 wins against peak(ish) Fed in situations which favored Roger
 
Personally, I think the only thing that can compare to a NCYGS is a CYGS. Like @Hitman said you would have done better to compare Djokovic's 5/6 from AO 2015-RG 2016 or I would even say you could have compared it Djokovic's 6/8 from W 2014 - RG 2016. Those are more in the same vein. For me, 4/4 is too otherwordly and will always take the top spot.
 
You can't compare 6 slam to 4 , better scenario is Hitman one or Nolefam one.
