  2. Paul Annacone (ex-coach of Pete Sampras and Roger Federer) says:

    “Just Info unforced error category does not apply when playing Novak – errors due to mental pressure of small targets not measurable”

  3. Boris Becker (coach of Novak Djokovic) says:

    “Very proud to be part of #TeamDjokovic !
    It’s been an historic year for @DjokerNole ….tennis history books are being rewritten!”

  4. Jon Wertheim (writer of Sports Illustrated’s Tennis Mailbag) says:

    “Is there a more unsung story in sports – never mind tennis – right now than @DjokerNole play ?”

  5. Try this one on for size that Jon Wertheim said in this week’s mailbag…

    “If we were ranking players by surface, regardless of what is underfoot, Djokovic is tops. I can think of no analog. Neither Sampras nor Federer were the best on clay. Neither Wilander nor Lendl were the best on grass. Even at the height of his powers, you would never have claimed Nadal was the best indoor player.”

  6. Djokovic isn’t going to lose a match but I’m predicting Nishikori to fight his way to taking the only set Novak loses the whole tournament.

  7. I don’t know about that. Nishi had an injury and had to retire in his match at the Paris Masters. He hasn’t looked to be at his best recently. In the poll, I voted for Novak winning in 2 sets, losing more than 7 games.

  8. From an actual tennis site:

    Tennis king Says:
    Here is a great analysis by Dean Sapsojevic posted on Bleacher report:
    “Fed’s competition in 2006 in the 4 Masters titles he won and the Masters Cup was Gonzalez twice, Ljubicic, Gasquet, and James who combined have a 4-40 record against Federer and a combined total of 1 masters title and 0 grand slams. He faced Marcos Baghdatis to win the AO and failed to make the final of Cincinnati by losing to a 19 year old Murray in the R32. He had only 19 Top 10 wins out of a total of 23 matches meaning the top guys weren’t consistent enough to make it to the later stages, in comparison Djokovic had 31 top 10 wins (smashing his previous record of 24) out of 36 matches”
    This sums it all up. I don’t think that there should be any debate what year was better based on the competition.

  9. danica would probably post here if she wasn’t a Nole fan…

    danica Says:
    Nole’s 2015 hands down (better than Roger’s 2006). I don’t even see why there’s any discussion about this?? Does anyone believe Nole would have lost any ATP 250 tournament had he entered?

    Even the Doha 1/4 finals is with an asterisk. Although a loss is a loss and a win is a win, let me just refresh your memory because that loss need to be put into a context – Novak played with flu. He got into the finals (again!) at the Mubadala Tennis Championship in Abu Dhabi and didn’t even go on court to play feeling sick and weak. He did honor the obligation to compete in Doha but got tightly beaten due to health reasons. Then came Australia where he did not cahnce to practice for several days trying to get healthy and overcome weakness before the tournament starts. Everything that came after was simply making of the history.

    Finals of ALL the masters series events entered, winning 6 out of 8, setting a new record of won masters in a year, winning 3 out of 4 slams’ finals contested, winning the WTF, winning on all the surfaces, outdoors and indoors, against the top opposition, a record number of wins against top 10, no negative H2H score with the best rival… I am a Nole fan, but it wouldn’t matter whose numbers these are. I was just as amazed by Rafa’s 2013 and was not shy to say it. Nole’s numbers in 2015 are just ridiculous. On a plus side, the ATP points adjusted for Roger in 2006 are still 2006

    As I was saying… (half of my post got deleted for some reason) – On a plus side, the ATP points adjusted for Roger in 2006 are still less than Nole’s 2015.

    Roger handed 19 bagels in 2006 to Nole’s 12. However, Roger handed 20 bread sticks to Nole’s 33! Take it into consideration that Novak played 35 matches with the top 10 opposition which is 41% of all matches played while Roger only had to play 24% of matches with the top 10 guys. Nole played 52% with the top 20 while Rog had to play 35%. Looking at the top 5 duels, Nole’s statistic is 16-4 while Roger’s was 8-4 I believe. If all this is not telling, I don’t know what is? Maybe this:
