Era-Dependent Legacy1 take
Novak Djokovic's legacy should be viewed in the context of the eras in which he played; he faced top players like Federer and Nadal during their primes and adapted his game against different styles. Evaluating his dominance without considering the competition he faced is misleading, as tennis evolves and so do the challenges.
