At least he is there playing them even when he isn't playing so good, I remember at Rome one year he was beyond atrocious and reached the final, of course lost to Nadal very easy but still deserves it's praise others dream of making a Masters final and he does it like it's nothing.

What a run!
 
if nole was not disqualified from USO 2020 he would probably have better W% in all 4 slams than fed!

%W–LAustralian Open
91.182–8Serbia Novak Djokovic
87.2102–15Switzerland Roger Federer
%W–LFrench Open
84.481–15Serbia Novak Djokovic
81.173–17Switzerland Roger Federer
%W–LWimbledon
88.879–10Serbia Novak Djokovic
88.2105–14Switzerland Roger Federer
%W–LUS Open
88.871–9United States Pete Sampras
86.489–14Switzerland Roger Federer
86.281–13Serbia Novak Djokovic

the fact is that nole is in the top 3 of all time in W% on all 4 slams (1st in AO and 3rd in other 3, fed is 4th in AO, 8th in RG, 4th in W and 2nd in USO))! which is a clearly better achievement!
 
I was talking about your "UTS GOAT points" (cough-cough pseudo-stats cough-cough).
OK, but GOAT points are just a simple single figure to represent achievements. Most of the time they are pretty accurate in measuring player achievements, like in this case. You can always find corner cases when they do not represent the best single figure value, but you can say that to all single-figure values.
Interestingly enough, it is more often that 'common understanding' about some tennis proportion is questionable (i.e. a myth) than that UTS GOAT points tell wrong thing ;). That is why they are available at UTS.

Stats that are subjective just muddy the waters.

UTS site allows us to customize the options quickly & easily:

Here is the Minimalist list (just the slams + weeks) from the Quick-Picks:

Fed-dal-ovic 223-210-236


The same list with added GS F+SF+QF, and Master1000+YEC F+SF:

Fed-dal-ovic 545-481-546


or the same list without SF+QF stages i.e. just the finals & titles:

Fed-dal-ovic 473-426-494

That's a whole pile of statistics that are completely irrelevant to the subject at hand.

As for the UTS site, they should stick to real statistics, not garbage pseudo-statistics.

You can exclude the achievements stat. (CYGS, CGS, triple slam season ...) and you are left with the real stat. only.

Minimalist list + GS/Masters/YEC finals, without the "subjective" achievement points:

Why would you or anyone make an attempt of trying to compare their winning percentage when both are still active and playing, you realize another couple losses at Wimbledon and the Serbian will be trailing Federer right? Hilarious half arsed stats that don't even make sense if both aren't retired and done playing, Djokotards really are desperate and brainless.
 
Not only could he not win gold, but he left his doubles partner in the lurch for the bronze medal match. And let his country down.

All so that he could cry into a towel at the USO final.
Seems like you care about it much more. People in Serbia have much more things to think about than what happened in Olympics. It was a news for one day, people in Serbia don't give two shits over such trivial things.
 
for all the talk about Novak (well deserved i grant you) you cant ignore the legacy of Federer in tennis

If... would probably... ?

The truth is that AO (played; Federer 117- Djokovic 90) and Wimbledon (Fed 119- Djok 89) are not comparable
27 and 30 matches apart!
Which is logical given that the 2 are 6 years apart.

The matches played closer for RG (Fed 90- Djo 96: + 6 Nole) and US Open (Fed 103 -Djo 94: + 9 Fed) are justified by the absence of Federer at RG (4) and US Open (3), even if Djokovic also skipped an edition in 2017.

AO and Wimb, only Federer has played more than 100 matches (117-119), to date.

in RG, only Nadal (108)

at the US Open, only Connors (115) and Federer (103)

At YEC
Federer 76 matches played (59-17)
Djokovic 54 (38-16)
Lendl 50 (40-10)

Doesn't change the fact that he left his partner in the lurch and let his country down.

That happened.
