He's telling stories....................
But you are BFF with Carlos Moya
Mr 1100 in the world..............
Fed has had several years in the neighborhood of what Djoko did last year. It was not remotely a stand alone year as you prescribe.

what's up ESPLANADE!!!
please be the voice of reason here as you are one of the resident experts.............is djoko a 'next level player' like fed, rafa, pete sampras, rod laver??
i don't think so.
amazing, amazing talent, but when it's all said and done his career will be close to agassi's, mcenroe's, connors...........in the sense that it will be an amazing career for a tennis player, but not at the elite level as the best that ever played the game
top tier: fed, sampras, roy emerson, rod laver, rafa nadal
2nd tier: agassi, mcenroe, connors, lendl, and djokovic
that's mah story and i'm stikkin to it

you don't get it. he will NOT even break 10 total slams in his career, which even if he finishes with 10 it is a stellar career, but not fed and rafa type stellar.
he is rising at the time that fed has slipped considerably, and rafa had some more injury issues. all credit to nole for his game from jan 2011 through jan 2012. it was an epic run. he won 4 slams bringing his total to 5.
now he must deal with the rising murray, the soon-to-be-back del potro, a hungry and healthy rafa, a rising player in tomic, and who knows who else will step up? maybe soderling will come back strong after the layoff?
too many players who have similar style games to nole will be rising up now, it's too many guys for nole to deal with, he's simply not as dominant as roger was or rafa is, he cannot put up unGodly stretches for multiple years like those guys could
sometimes you can just see things a mile away.
djoko will not drop to earth, he will thump to earth with a major slowdown in slam wins
just watch

 people who cannot understand tennis enough to know that his serve is not big enough and he is not dominant enough an overall player to run the tennis world like fed and rafa have done, and rafa continues to do

This is what I get for engaging with the occasional twit online,,, in the early 90's it really didn't take that much to get that type of ranking,,,with a national junior ranking, all you really had to do was show up for an event, pay them the entry fee thru your sponsorship and hope to win at least the occasional opening round,,,believe whatever you choose to believe |

in the 2012 aussie, rafa got his mental edge back by pushing it 5 sets and playing as well or slightly better than nole overall..........
took it to monte carlo 2012 and whacked nole
took it yesterday and cruised
IT'S ON sistas..........

now please show me where i said "Tomic is the next superstar"?
you cannot. so the best thing to do is simply keep quiet.
you are in over your head on this one.

Djoko has not had the answers the last 2 matches. he damn near lost in australia as Rafa had plenty of chances. |

Rafa has given him everything.
Rafa is the only one responsible if Joker wins, because he will have handed it to him on a silver platter.
that's a FACT.

grdironguy would love for nadal to propose to him by hittina forehand winner into his behind while sliding on the clay.
gridironguy is the only one responsible for him being such a douchebag.
that's a FACT.
