| Topic | Is Novak Djokovic the greatest tennis player ever? |

I think Peak vs. Longevity is a legitimate argument, although not many people want to argue in favor of peak because we tend to favor championships a lot. Who at their best was the best is a more interesting argument than who won the most Slams. Even if we go by peak, 2011 Djokovic has a very good argument there too. Emeraldegg posted... For me it's federer because he managed his #1 ranking # of weeks record while dealing with a prime Nadal. Federer started his #1 run in early 2004, when Nadal was only 18 and still a rookie. While you can say he hit his prime on clay by 2005, he was still very rough on other courts. Nadal didn't even make past the 4th round of a non-French Open grand slam until US Open 2006 so imo 2007 (or maaaybe 2006) is the earliest you can really call him prime Nadal. --- congrats to azuarc, our GotD2 guru! ...
