Semi-Pro
So Nadal said this about Djokovic after he went 10-1 against Fedal in 2011-2012. Nadal had played peak/prime Federer many times, and yet this was still he assessment.
Are some fans discounting the high level that Djokovic was been able to reach in his prime? Yes, he’s won more titles later in his career, but he’s found a way to play smarter not harder. He can win against anyone not Fedal with 75% of the level he reached at his heights. He’s learned to become more efficient by improving his serve and juicing up his FH to make up for the slight decline in movement, endurance and recovery.
Was Djokovic’s peak level the greatest of all time considering who he was up against and the assessment of his contemporary and greatest rival?
