I think Djoker has a very distinct physical advantage over the rest of the field. he's been proven to be stronger, faster, more flexible and more durable than his rivals. even if you assume the other guys are similarly skilled, Djoker is going to dominate the 5 set format by attrition alone. that's why he's only beatable on very fast courts in 3 sets where a hot/cold run or pure luck can make a difference.
this is the progression of all sports, every generation produces athletes of a higher physical calibre. it doesn't take anything away from what the previous greats did, but in my opinion Djoker won the genetic lottery just as Serena has, and is using it to the fullest.
