World No. 1 Novak Djokovic, who has won two of three biggest titles of the 2012 season by taking the Australian Open and Miami, says that his level is not well ahead of the rest of the ATP. The Serbian has won four out of the last five Grand Slams and seven of the last 12 mandatory Masters 1000s. During that period, he has beaten No. 2 Rafael Nadal seven straight times, is 4-1 against No. 3 Roger Federer, and 4-2 against No. 4 Andy Murray.
"There is no gap," Djokovic told reporters. "Every tournament is a new opportunity for all the players to win a title. Rankings, I don't need to say too much. You have different surfaces, different seasons that are more suitable to different kind of players. So clay court is obviously Nadal and Spanish players, South Americans, are the ones who have, in past couple of years, more success than the others, but I believe that everybody's improving their game on the different surfaces. It's very demanding. I think I have been playing really well on all different kinds of surfaces. Winning the title on grass for me in Wimbledon last year was a great feeling and an important title for my career."
