Federer's rise was different to Djokovic's in that after his breakthrough at Wimbledon, he pretty much started dominating everyone and winning slams consistently right away.
He wasnt knocking on the door like Djokovic was for 3 years. When he won Wimbledon he was in the top 10, but I believe it was his first slam semi at the time. He wasnt regularly challenging for big titles and making finals and semis every week the way Djokovic was.
Its like after Wimbledon he became a different man. He started beating his old rivals like Hewitt and Nalbandian regularly and easily, and was always in devestating form at the slams and masters events.

This.... Fed prime era opposition was sub standard unfortunately, but he was still a great player but with an inflated slam count due to the standard of that era.
djokovic finally outmuscled federer. fed outmuscled the bad 1 slam wonders who failed to beat top 10 players in davis cup & olympic competition.
djoker already knew how to compete in team competition. federer couldn't out bagel, outangle, out volley, outserve or outlast djoker anymore - only the 2 years of pain helped djoker. federer only thrived on media hype and intimidation which destroyed the 99 percent of opponents years before they reached their best level on tour.
the losers always tell fed that he is so nice and deserves to win and declare himself the best ever.
why would a winner crash out of matches & wish for federina to win many more titles the whole year, when they both play? fed loved it because he said he wanted just him & nadal at the top. sorry fed. zzzzzz
