But people using H2H results with Roger are being disingenuous. Many of those H2H matches occurred when Federer was clearly out of his physical prime. Roger has been able to hang around because of his insane talent, but he's been physically declining since 2013.
Yeah, esp when Fed is beat juggernauts like Roddick and Hewitt in his prime.
Who exactly did Djoker beat this year to win 3 Majors? Nothing but young, unproven players. Most who had never even been in a Major final.
You beat who they put in front of you.
Lol what? He beat Nadal at the French Open, and Nadal is the best ever clay player. He beat Medvedev in the Australian Open Final, and Medvedev won the ATP Finals last season.
Some of the arguments against Djokovic in this thread have been laughable, like "he played in a weak era."
- Most Grand Slam Wins (tied with Nadal and Federer, he will hold the record if he wins tomorrow)
- Most ATP 1000 wins (tied with Nadal)
- Only player ever to win every Grand Slam at least twice
- Only player ever to win all nine ATP 1000 events
- Most weeks ranked #1 (still growing)
- Most year-end no. 1 (tied with Sampras, he will hold the record at the end of the year)
- Highest ever men's singles winning %
- Winning record vs. Nadal
- Winning record vs. Federer
He's the GOAT, deal with it.
