"Novak Djokovic has by far the best game in tennis" says Alex Corretja

Ex-players falling for the illusions of the career inflation era. Sad!

Djokovic's greatest weapon is keeping the ball in play.

Sigh. It’s like TTW can’t ever have a debate about anything without trolling.

It's inevitable when the OP is about someone stating that one of them is better than the others.

How much did Alex get for saying such rubbish. By far the best game which doesn't enable Djokovic to beat Rafa on clay unless Rafa is having a bad day?

Remind me when the last time Nadal has taken even a set off Djokovic on HC’s was...

Yep, and CQ sure showed me.

All this Djokovic backhand DTL, how about Wawrinka BH DTL

What's that got to do with Djokovic not being a match to Rafa on clay?

They are both tennis surfaces?

Novak Djokovic has ‘by far the best’ game in tennis and is a tactical nightmare to play against, says Alex Corretja.


Debate about who out of Djokovic, Roger Federer, and Rafael Nadal will be remembered as the greatest has engulfed men’s tennis in recent years.

But while Coretja is unwilling to commit to an opinion on who will win that, he has little doubt over who the best is right now.


“I want to mention that in my opinion he is the most difficult player to play because he has no weaknesses.


“It’s so hard because he serves well, he returns well, his backhand is amazing, his forehand is awesome.


“He moves very well, defends well, and has offense with a lot of options.


“This is by far the best [style of play]. This is why he dominates. It is difficult for his rivals to hurt him tactically.”

This week, Novak Djokovic surpassed Roger Federer to become the man to have spent the most weeks at world number one.

Excellent post.
Alex Corretja is right. Novak is the perfect tenis player.
Let's be realistic here: Novak >> Fed, Nadal
He has evolved the game to beyond the level Fed or Nadal could do.

You think it is all about the winners? The shot is also about being able to take on the strengths of others. Ask Fedal what they think of that BH, Djokovic showed the blue print to the world on how to actually play Nadal and that is by taking his backhand directly into Nadal's forehand to open up the court so he can then hit the winner regardless of whether it is on his backhand or forehand side. Your stats there don't show that.

Or they can just...not hit as hard as they can to the baseline. These players are tactical chumps.

Doesn't say much about Fedal then that they both having losing records to someone who has shots just above average....

Not denying Novak's shots are underrated, but Roger's record against Novak is 23-27 and Novak only overtook him by 2015. Not bad for someone who is 6 years older than Novak and had a winning record v Novak at the age of 34
