Lendl vs Djokovic all time ranking

[Nachiket Nolefam]

OMG...some of you Djokovic fans can be so insecure at times. Always seeking approval and wanting everyone to love your player. I simply expressed my appreciation of a player I liked and said nothing about Djokovic on that post.

Anyway, since you brought it up...Ivan was a proven legend because by the end of his playing career, not only he had the stats to back up his achievement, he also managed to maintain both his character and professionalism as a tennis player. He never felt the need to yield to the media or to please the spectators other than playing great tennis. He was often mistreated by reporters and fans, but you rarely hear him complain about the mistreatment. He just carried on and kept working on his game. He was once the most despised champion, yet he managed to turn the tide and earned respects from his peers and many champions to follow.

Stats & titles alone do not make you a legend, your character does. Ivan's character was tested and proven. I can't say the same for Djokovic...not yet anyway.

Djokovic has character and that is proven time to time as well. He has some very heartbreaking losses at french in his career and has bounced back winning wimbledon in just a month. He was losing finals left and right and has reversed that trend. And like Lendl he has been fighting crowds for YEARS now, and unlike his early years, he is not complaining. Instead he is very open, fun guy on the court unlike Lendl. Not sure, what PROVEN legend means.

@BeatlesFan No one is insecure, I asked him what proven legend means. And if that is his explanation, Djokovic has done well for himself.

Why is Federer bigger than Nadal by almost all tennis experts,mostly because he has more slams on his account.Well,same story here with one more big exception of Wimbledon,Lendl hasn't got any. Djokovic will probably get RG that he's missing and next year his number of GS will surpassed Lendl's number even more.A couple of years from now those two players will not going to be compared anymore.

He is better for me, because he showed consistent results in his peak, not based on one surface. He will have very long career if he wants because he is in top 3 at 34. And at his peak he is as good as Nadal.
