2011 to 2012. 2011 is skewed a bit because of Djokovic's level but Murray, Nadal and Federer all played some great matches in 2011.

2012 of course. This don't really need a thread.

2008 wasn't peak Fed sorry to burst your bubble. His level was horrible throughout the year. Not only he didn't even win a masters title, but he didn't even reach a HC masters final.
2012 was a much better year for him as far as I am concerned.

In 2012 Federer became number 1, how this is not peak ?!

Also H2H's between them that year were quite balanced.
Djokovic-Fed 3-2
Djokovic-Mur 4-3
Fed-Nad 1-1
Fed-Mur 3-2
Only Djok-Nads was less balanced (1-3) but with heavy clay skew, Djok winning the hardcourt meeting and Nads the clay ones.

Definitely 2012, the year when they each won a slam.

They are the Fantastic 4.
Djokovic is Mr. Fantastic.
Federer is The Human Torch.
Nadal is The Thing.
And Murray is... The Invisible Woman.

2012, although Murray's masters record that year and Nadal missing for half of it don't quite add up.
2011 was a closer year if it wasn't for Djokovic's dominance. They all made the last four of Grand Slams apart from Nadal at the Aus and Federer at Wimbledon. All won Masters and was the last time Murray consistently challenged at Clay semi-finals. All had a good haul of trophies that year, it's just that Djokovic's were shinier.

Yes, because staying no.1 for some 15 weeks in a year is the same as being no.1 for 237 weeks in a row. Tell me more.

Never, Nadal tries his best always, no?
Because peak Federer had like double the points of the 2nd guy and was able to be nr.1 for 4 years and won 3 slams per year.
2012 Federer barely edged out nr.2 and was there only for 15 weeks, won only 1 slam and made only 1 final.
You don't see a huge difference?
