djoko needed 5 sets in australia to beat perennial choker murray
djoko needed 5 sets to beat rafa in the final
his 4 slams in the last 12 mos is a great achievement, but is not *as* impressive in overall dominance as what fed AND rafa have accomplished
djoko is not a 'next level' kind of player, hence 5 slams vs rafa's 10 though they are just 11 mos apart in age
if you only look at the end result, and now HOW they got there to the slam wins, you are just any other sports fan. don't be just "any other sports fan", be an intellectual and break it down
cheers mate
Seriously? I shouldn't even be responding to this rubbish.
You seem like a Nadal fan boy with your blatant discrediting of Djokovic's accomplishments.
When he played Nadal in 2011, the results speak for themselves. 6 meetings in 6 finals, he won all of them including
back to back titles on clay. He made the impossible, possible.
4-1 h2h against Federer in 2011 as well. Djokovic beat the best players throughout the entire year and had Fed not ended his amazing unbeaten streak at the French, a possible calendar slam?
Perennial choker Murray who's beaten Nadal twice to make a grand slam final? Nadal's played Berdych, Soderling and Puerta(!!) for French titles, who cares if Murray lost in the AO final. you have no point here
Djokovic beat Fed in the AO semis in straights, how does a very tight 4 setter at the French represent getting blown out? you have no point here again
Nadal's broken foot is the result of his style of play, Djokovic doesn't control player's injuries. 6 meetings, 6 wins, the results speak for themselves. you have no point here again
5 sets for Murray, 5 sets for Rafa. He still won both matches while not quite looking his best, no? yet again no point
2011 season:
70 wins 6 losses, and one could argue that 5 of those losses were due to fatigue towards the end of the year. Still impressive to everyone, but not for you?
3 Grand Slam titles, 5th man ever to accomplish this in one year. Obviously not impressive to you?
Double digit titles in one year, again joins an elite list of players to accomplish this.
5 masters titles in one year, never happened before. Took out Nadal in back to back events on clay. Obviously not impressive to you?
But obviously an intellectual breakdown reveals he's not a "next level" kind of player.
