Since the 06 vs. 11 thread has turned to shit, I would like to propose a more realistic comparison.
Fed in 04 and Nole in 11 were pretty similar. Both won 3 slams in their first year of domination and ascending to the #1 rank.
Fed was 74-6 on the year, won 3 slams, 3 Masters 1000, 1 TMC 5-0, 1 500 (Dubai), and 3 250's (Halle, Gstaad, Bangkok).
Nole is 70-6 (+ 1 W/O) on the year, won 3 slams, 5 Masters 1000, 1 500 (Dubai), and 1 250 (Belgrade).
Fed had 11 titles to Djokovic's 10.
Ranking points using 2011 system:
Federer 2004- 12,385 points
Djokovic 2011- 13,675 points
Maybe Djokovic had the better year?
Which year was better, and who would win in a fictional time travel match?
