Fantastic achievement and it would've been a travesty if he hadn't been awarded it. Congrats Novak!

His 3rd one was a bit controversial.

What a year two one slam winners (Djokovic and Serena)
are recognized as the best players... LOL
For me the prize shouldnt be delivered unless the player wins more than 1 slam...

Is more travesty that the ITF awarded djokovic in 2013 being an one slam wonder that year.. compared to rafa that won 2 GS...
Djokovic only deserved the prize in 2011.

Its about winning slams not about who made more runners up at slams..
Look at Sampras vs Lendl... Pete leads 14-8 in GS
Lendl has more GS finals, SF, slam apparitions, matches won, career titles... but nobody would claim he is the better player...
NAdal won 2 slams in 2013 vs 1 slam of djoker in the same year...
anyways ATP > ITF when It comes determining the player of the year.. ITF only has weight when it comes to davis cup and the touraments that are associated to them.

for the 4th time... that puts him in elite company with lendl, sampras and federer !
(and only sampras and federer had 4 straight years being ITf champion)

I don't think you understand how the ITF works. Are you saying they should only award players who win more than one slam? What about the years when there isn't a multi-slam winner?

Then there is no champion that year. Stan should have won it this year with 1 slam and DC Champion.

Nadal doesn't need to clutter his trophy cupboard with MM Trophies.
That's certainly not the impression he gives whenever the clay season comes around.

Djokovic's slam results were much more consistent.

So even though Nadal and Djokovic both have 3 YE#1, Nole has 4 ITF Champion awards to Nadal's 2. Sweet! :smile:

Don't worry--i'm sure his flock are combing through the decision records and finding all kids of anti-Federer plots. Ohh, the horror. The horror.

2013 was indeed controversial. Nadal was the only player to win 2 Slams that year and that should easily have made him ITF Player of the Year!
I wouldn't go that far. Djokovic did have the best Slam results (wins and finals) of any of the players in 2012 and 2014 and that justifies him getting the award for those 2 years. Only 2013 was dubious!

Mirka ordered him not to accept it, especially if it is unaccompanied by a cheque! She reckons he's got too many damn trophies already and she's having trouble finding space for them all!

Then there can be a dealbreaker made on other slam performance and achievement of other tournaments, etc...
But when you win 2 slams or more you have to be the best player of the year.. winning 2+ slams ina year is a quite special feeling you feel Its you year..

I mean he barely deserved it in 2012 and 2014
in 2014 both djokovic and Rafa made 1 W and 1 F in slams... the rest is not that relevant... Rafa was NUmber 1 the majority of the year....
in 2012 you had both nadal and murray with 1 W and 1 F... ok djokovic got 1 W and 2 F ... but murray won the Olympic gold medal.. etc..
they have been quite close years... FEderer was Number 1 in 2012 for a while, etc...

and even if you discuss the career outside slams... he was the only player to win double digit titles, 5 m1000 and even made it to the wtf final.

It has to be that ITF loves Novak more than Nadal.

They have a thing for robotic eastern europeans..
first was lendl... now novak... who will be the next? coric?
