Djokovic and Federer both won their last Grand Slam when they were 36 years old.
After that, Federer made ONE Grand Slam Final (where he lost on his favorite court to Djokovic) and made two semi-finals, where he lost in straight sets to both Nadal and Djokovic..
Meanwhile, Djokovic has made one final since then along with four semi-finals, while going against the two best players in the world that are entering their primes.
Fed is a clear tier below Djokovic. He's an all-time great and a top three player in the history of men's tennis, but he is clearly below the GOAT.
Edit: Let's not even go back to them both being 30 years old and seeing how they performed after that. It's a 12-4 Grand Slam Championship massacre in favor of Djokovic..
Difference is Federer was still competin wit prime Djokovic and prime Nadal at 38yo. Outplayin em for large periods in a lot of those sets. Novak gettin washed by Carlos and Jannik. How many straight sets he lost to em now the last 2 years? shyt not even competitive.
Djokovic makin more semis playing garbage comp like Manure, Poorie, teenage Cobolli don't mean nothin when he food against the top hittas that actually matter.
2018/2019 Djokovic and Rafa wasn't on the level of Sinner and Alcaraz? Are you retarded?
Carlos got washed by Botic not even a year ago and Jannik just needed fluke injury luck to get by Dimitrov
Carlos dead last of the 4 on hard court by far. Debatable on grass wit Novak. Rafa and then Novak the best on clay of the 4. Novak and Jannik the best of the 4 on hard court.

Novak has been losing to the two clear cut best players in the world, while they are still young and entering their primes. Other than Popyrin and Zverev, he has really only lost in recent years to Alvarez and Sinner, the two clear cut top two players.
Meanwhile, Fed was losing to Kevin Anderson, Tistsipas, John Millman, and Raoncic.
Edit: Again, I do like Federer, but the revisionist history and the way people try to diminish or knock what Djokovic has done is absurd.

Completely agree. Novak has gained the respect of his peers and cross sport athletes love Novak. He has been absolutely amazing for 15 years and any true tennis fan knows this and respects it.
Sinner/Alcaraz gonna be a classic
And I'm not a pawger by any stretch, but Ani was lookin' kinda nice on ESPN just now with the long brunette hair

Anisimova’s first serve percentage has to be terrible.

Serving terribly against one of the best returners, you can also see Iga using extreme angles to test Amanda's movement.
