[@abhiramsharmatennis808]

Djokovic in 2011 not only played his best tennis and won but he completely turned around his rivalry with Fedal. Its not easy to do that having lost to them so many times. Once he did that, he almost never lost to them again. There were close matches of course, but he was "extra" motivated to win and had that self belief to come through tough moments.

[@pot_kivach160]

That "extra motivated" belongs to his mindset. Everything Djokovic achieved came from there. When he dominates - he wins. When his opponent has a good day - Djoko just REFUSE to lose!

What is so special about Novak? 2011 was historically the best season ever for any player, but in 2021 and 2023, 11 and 14 years later, he was overwhelmingly dominating like he did in 2011, may be even a shade higher. It is this consistentcy at the highest level which has transmogrified him to be the Greatest Athelete in the history of any sport.

I have to say that the first two matches of that year, Nadal was really close to win (especially in Miami when it coud have gone to either side) but that Djokovic was a player nearly imposible to beat.

Just because you have match points doesn't mean you won the match , you have to win 1 more point . He played either poorly or didn't do enough and Novak made sure he would not give the matches up easily . His mindset was like if you want to win you will have to earn it , I won't give anything away for free . If anything it just goes to show how strong mentally Novak was and how shaky Roger got once he had chances to seal the deal .

Novak Djokovic is a very good tennis player the accuracy of his shots are so good, he mentally wears down the opponents by hitting some unplayable shots, if not for Djokovic, Nadal would have been the GOAT, now Djokovic has won 24 Grand slams compared to 22 of Nadal now he has won the Olympic gold defeating 21 year old Spanish tennis sensation Alcaraz, no doubt Novak Djokovic is the G O A T of tennis he has proved once again he his the G O A T of mens tennis .

[@eiyp3]

There will always be debates about what is the best prime version player, fed 06-07 or 17, Djoko 11, 15-16 or 21, but what makes the debate absolutely clear is that each and every version of those had some asterisks, fed didn't have to face blossomed djoker, Djoko at 15 didn't have to face healthy rafa, fed 17 didn't have to face healthy Djokovic, Djokovic 21 didn't have to face fed. But, Djokovic 2011 had literal no asterisks like that, fed was perfectly healthy in his youth, so was rafa, and Delpo and Murray, and to dominate like Djoker did, you gotta be the absolute GOAT.

Rafa needs 1 more AO and 1 more Wimbledon to get his 3rd Career GS while Novak needs only 1 more FO for his 4th Rafa needs to win the Paris Masters and Miami open to earn his 1st Golden Masters while Novak needs only 1 more Monte Carlo for his 3rd. Rafa needs to win Indian Wells and Miami Open back-to-back 4 times to tie Novak’s “Sunshine Doubles” record Rafa needs to win the ATP Finals 7 times to tie Novak While Rafa’s dominance at the FO is impressive, the flip side is that he has only won 3 consecutive GS once while Novak has done it 4 times.
