Is Djokovic better than Sampras (in his prime)?

Idiotic...again.

I love novak djokovic, but sampras is the best of all time, plus who doesn't like Sampras? Also, like it or not djokovic is playing in an era where there is no dominant serve and volley player like sampras. I don't think that Djokovic could handle that style of play, however i think that he has the ability to win the U.S. Open.

I think serve and voley died with agassi friend, he just beat those guys with returns and passes and they all quit. Correct me if I am wrong but there are no s&v because players are much more precise these days with racquets and stuff and its easier to hit a passing shot.

Hey - I wrote on my native up there, question I ask is sampras at 20 vs novak at 20 ? In that case its closer ? Sam had his first slam at the time but nevertheless Id like to hear some people who know tennis and followed sampras from youung age comment on this .

 

[drgnpride]

right now i'd put joker up there with jimmy arias in his prime. call back when he's won a major or 10.

 

[federer envies me]

What is this, a ****ing joke. The guy wins a match against federer and all this forum knows about is " is djokovic better the sampras in his prime " " is djokovic the best ". Gimme a break guys, will ya.

seriously, wait till this guy wins a slam or becomes 1

This thread is hilarious, particularly the poll options.

Are there a lot of people on this forum that are not native English speakers? It is not only this thread, but I've seen quite a few threads here where an obvious joke/parody/satire/etc. is completely missed and responded to as though it were dead serious by quite a few people.

Thanks. The purpose of this thread was just to make fun of all the love the Djoker has been getting these last few days.

Yes there are alot of us who are not native english speakers, butwhats more hilarious is when you make such an obvious joke ( your opinion ) and yet - it may become reality in 5 - 6 years. I remember watching a tw show about cars where celebrities showcased their rides and one guy said - "oh my - I like when I use for example Peter Crouch who obviously will never be a good player in my songs and stupid germans ask - Who is peter crouch - with a german accent !!" ,

Now this was 2003. Crouch was englands first choice striker in 2006. So much about this ...

If that happens, feel free to bump this thread.

I'll say that I saw it coming all along, of course.

It's alright Dink, I still love you.

It's fairly hard to tell because players came from different eras, but I'd give the nod to Djokovic. After all, I've never seen Gus Sampras play.

Funny post.

I...love you too.

Novak Đoković is certainly a good player but he has a way to go yet to prove he is superior to Sampras.

I like to see plenty of evidence in top flight events in order to evaluate and rate a player. While Đoković's form has been good he needs prolong this period and prove it is not a fleeting run of good form before I would be even willing to consider him a top 3 player.

I think many of the threads on this site relating to Đoković are somewhat premature in hailing his greatness.

Would you be willing to put your house on his winning in Cincinnati?

Does anyone have a place I can sleep tonight?

ask Moya, he'll tell you the answer

 

[Tchocky]

These choices are all the same with varying degrees of "Yes". Sampras' serve is better but Novak's ground game is better.

It's impossible to compare somebody who has only just arrived as a proffessional tennis player with somebody who had a career that lasted about 15 years. Why not wait until Djokovic retires before asking that question?

You missed it, it can not be non usa player or godlike figure I guess. So fed is the latter and other contenders are Isner, The other dude with 3 maatches and the thrid dude with a fast serve. Just behind are rod and blake and prolly bryan bros if they decide to play separately, maybe even kendrick or aggasi if he gets back from retirement. This is logical now, is it ?

apart from the joke wich was funny, that remark on Serbia was unecessary and somewhat biased...

And i am a non native english speaker with pride. eurocentric to the bone and very very Portuguese that got the joke...

one day i will make the same joke on "Michelle Brito"...

I cant believe an obvious trolling thread like this has gotten so many responses.
