Can one really generalize about the fans of any single tennis player?

My comparison/contrast was based on the entertaining narratives of each. The true historical accounts of that time are basically unknown.

Point is Federer comes off more like the coddled, prestigious prince; while Nadal is like a prized freedom fighter. Pedigree vs passion; and their relative fan bases tend to reflect this...

It's disturbing if you actually believe what you typed.

Federer fans tend to be old, conservative, risk-averse, and pro-establishment types.

Nadal fans tend to be young, progressive, risk-taking, and rebellious types.

Spanish and/or
Females and/or
Dumb

I can't say I've noticed any real difference in general in regards to the tournaments you mentioned.

If you can't tell the notable difference in speeds across various tournaments in the recent decade I really don't know what to tell you. Either you're just being an ostrich with his head in the sand, or you're just completely blind. And I'm willing to bet it's the former and not the latter.

Progressiveness and liberalism isn't always the best option.

No, just my observation. When I watch 1990s matches from the tournaments mentioned, I don't think "Woah, this is fast!", apart from some Wimbledon matches with the big serving.
