If 2014 and 15 was Djokovic's peak, he beat Murray and Federer. If we are dismissing Murray like you are, that is no achiement in that case. Federer was 32/3 in 2015 and not in his peak. Peak Federer never played peak Djokovic. I just don't understand he dismissiveness of Federer when his record against Djokovic only became negative in the last 3 years when Djokovic was clearly the best and much much younger.Randall wrote:Your not convincing me.Chizzyfan wrote:Only 5 came before Djokovic and Nadal were both in the field. Saying they weren't at their best yet is comparable to saying that Federer wasn't at his best or that Nadal was injured when Djokovic was dominating. Your logic can apply both ways.
By the time they reaches their peaks the only slams Federer was winning was playing Murray in finals

Djokovic leads 3-1 in slam finals against each other , including two on grass courts.
And Novak leads 2-0 in tour finals.

I'm not dismissing Murray, a fine player but not quite at that level.

How many outside finals? I suspect Novak might still have more wins but I'm interested to know? Those two Wimbledon's were great matches.Kimmy wrote:Djokovic leads 3-1 in slam finals against each other , including two on grass courts.

It's amusing how Wilander changed his opinion about Novak now that they are both sponsored by Lacoste:

He came after Connors/Borg/McEnroe era, wasn't as good as Lendl and flashy as Becker

Kyrgios acting like a tool again. Down to 38 in the world, Number 3 in Australia.
Be joining Bernie Tomic in the Challengers soon enough.

World Number 38 (that's where he is now) doesn't make as much as you would think, after taking into account travel, coach, manager etc. Certainly not enough to sustain his massive entourage of unemployed friends and family.Randall wrote:Gets paid handsomely for little or no effort.Captain Hobo wrote:Lost in Rd 1 at Shanghai to a Qualifier, was arguing throughout with the umpire.

If he keeps up like this, his ranking will drop even further, and he will be fucked.

Wimbledon bring in tie breaks in the last set.
Albeit at 12-12.

Lovely result in the Paris Masters final today. Djokovic must have been tired from just about beating a 37 year old man with no legs left...
