I don't know what people are complaining about. Nadal at his best did the same thing Djokovic and Murray did. Did people forget that Nadal involved Djokovic in the biggest slugfest in the history of mankind last year? Why criticize Djokovic and Murray hitting back and forth, when Nadal fits beautifully in that group.

Fedal matches were not consistent when it came to quality either. A lot of them were bovine excrement... Federer shanking everything, Nadal hitting forehands to Federer's backhand over and over ...

The only people who miss Fedal matches at slams are Nadal fans. The script never changes with how that one ends, does it ?
On the other hand, Djokodal or Fedjoker matches are more exciting because there is an element of unpredictability and anyone can win on a given day.

Huh? Djokovic relies less on his athleticism than Nadal does. Novak's ground-strokes off both wings are catalysts for superb tennis when he is playing well.

Exactly this. You can also mention the classic Federer choke after going up a set.

Joker vs Muzza is just a bad match-up, not exciting at all.

[Telepatic]

I don't want to sound like ******** or Fed hater but if in these old Fed days even Muzza beats him in slam, imagine what Rafito would be doing.

Fedal matches were always in favor of Nadal, even more so with each passing day due to Fed's age.

What tennis really needs are new faces.

Nadal exposing Federer backhand is not exciting to watch.

Rather Federer Djokovic final.....even aggressive tennis.

All the young guys suck.....not gonna happen for a long time. The only hope is for 25+ players other than Fedalovicray to be in a slam final.

It's hard to put into words but Nadal just has a charisma that these two do not even come close to matching. That plus he has a pretty unique style of play that stands out, Djokovic and Murray are fairly generic players. His defensive style is a lot more entertaining than these two . And Federer is obviously a much better player to watch than Murrokovic.

Fedal is dead.

[taxon]

Iam à fed fan, my opinion is that fed and rafa bring more excitement to the court. Don't get me wrong, murray and djoker are great players, it's just boring tennis!!

[Djokodal Fan]

Old man cannot play 2 back t back 5 setters....what sore losers Fed fans are.

Why do you want Fedal when you know the result.

Schooling after schooling in every grandslam isn't anything interesting. You know the result before the ball is served...Fedal...LOL

Your boy's time will come soon too.

In fact, Fedal isn't even exactly dead despite 'Fed' being 31.5 years old.

Nadal's tennis is boring, I'd rather watch Djokovic. Nadal needs an agressive opponent, so that he can use his passing shots.

Or else he'll use his forehand to the opponent's backhand, until he opponent makes an unforced error.

I disagree. Djokovic has a very signature style. He has the huge windup western forehand, the massive 2 handed backhand with extreme torso rotation, and nobody else moves like him or incorporates flexibility in their game like Djokovic does.

Nadal has been out for a while and Djokovic has been number 1 for like 2 years now, so I expect people to be sympathetic towards Nadal, but I still remember in 2011 when people on this forum thought Djokovic was a breath of fresh air and Nadal was a plague upon tennis.

This . Period.

I still rate US open 2001 semis way way better than any match! It was a blockbuster written all over! offensive tennis at its best!!

Nadal had a more unique style, with his heavy topspin. He's got good volleys too, if he gets forced to come forward!

To be honest I like Nadal and Djokovic about the same, but watching Djokovic playing someone who is basically a lesser version of himself has just ****ed me off.

Djokovic came to net 41 times today and walked away the winner 35 times! Even when he plays Nadal, Djokovic almost always approaches the net more frequently and with more success.

Fed didn't choke, Murray was simply better. Federer looked like a zombie. He played very conservative and didn't had that many UE in the beginning of the match, but he wasn't making that many winners either.

In the end, he got tired.
