You have a way of singling out comments that weren't really part of the main point. This post is about Kyrgios. My Djokovic comment was meant to show that Kyrgios' supposed under performance is not, in my opinion, as bad as people like to think. One reason for that is because Djokovic wouldn't have let him win anyways. Because he was at a ridiculous level. I understand that you're trying to say I'm over hyping the level he reached. And he did get beaten. In say, 2014 at 3 of the slams. Wawrinka, Rafa and Nishikori at the US Open. But then he won 5 of 6 slams. Making the final of all 6. So I guess I think it's kinda hard to say I'm over hyping his level. I did use the term "a level we haven't seen." And I guess I just got that from a bunch of different commentators at the time. Who were all blown away by his level of play which was basically him being a wall and never missing and tracking everything down. We saw some incredibly high levels from Rafa and Fed and other players in previous eras. But, while it doesn't make me happy to say this, I'm not sure I've ever seen anyone play as well as Djokovic did during that year and a half.

But we can agree to disagree.
The ridiculous level, isn’t good enough against offensive players on fire. I don’t know what game you have been watching, or you’d known better. He was at ridiculously consistent level, there is a difference.

( Lost gen)Dimitrov would be the most disappointing player of the last 15 years, has not even made the final of a slam. next is Tsonga who mentally bad in big matches, D.thiem will be in there at the top if Nadal keeps winning the French open.
