2008 RG was the greatest beatdown of all time.
ATG players getting shredded in a slam match.

Federer has beaten his idol in straights in a slam final but you wont see him mention it. In the eyes of a delusional hater , as you said, it's better to lose a set than win in straights.

In that case how about 2013 Wimbledon final: Murray beats Djokovic 6-4, 7-5, 6-4.
Or 2010 AO quarter-final: Murray beats Nadal 6-3, 7-6, 3-0 (r.)

No beatdown there, Djokovic was competitive against Muzz+Great Britain, but didn't have the heart after RG 13.

Smashed him that day!

Couldn't handle the crowd. He wasn't the mental monster he is today. Post 2014 Nole would clutch out that final against Muzz.

Poor baby. Explains why he was decimated.

Wawrinka could have beaten him. Murray would have taken energy from him in the SF assuming he got through Djokovic in a tough match. Nadal just wasn’t good for his standards on clay in 15 even if he was still better than the average player.

Fact is no beatdown in that match. Great Britain was ****ting itself to the very end.

Yes, good thing he has 16 slams and 5 Wimbys to console himself.

Lol.... excuses excuses. He already proved himself a mental monster back in 2011 when he tore through the season beating everybody else right, left and centre including Nadal at Wimbledon. Stop making excuses just because you don't like the fact Murray did it (don't notice you making excuses in any of the other examples given here).

Have to say it is amusing nole aint allowed an excuse but all we read on here are fedal excuses. Every single loss has multiple excuses and some of the scuses contradict the other scuses. Lmao.

He can console himself all he wants. Doesn't change the fact that Murray beat him from pillar to post that match.

I watched all of these matches. Post RG 13 Novak was a mess. Wimby 13 was no beatdown and Novak was competitive despite being a ghost of his usual self.

It was no beating, it was close, even Muzz said so after the match. Great Britain has Rafa to thank for destroying Nole mentally a few weeks earlier.

He wasn't. He just got destroyed. Meanwhile Nadal was a mess in 2015.

Yep, the crowd was disgusting toward Novak as usual. Watch the match, it was close and not what most people would call a beatdown. Muzz said so himself.

It was a straight setter. Some of OP's and other examples were just as close (but don't notice you singling out any of them).

His career in the majors was basically on the line at wimbledon 2014. He fought like he knew it was on the line in that match.

Have you actually seen the match? Nadal was gone in 2015, Novak beating him in RG pit him out of commission for over a year.

Yep, if he lost Wimby 2014 he would've been finished. He found his warrior spirit again in that fifth set.

Nadal was a mess all year long. And was a shell of himself. That's why that wasn't impressive.

yea, straight setter but it doesn't mean each straight setter must be shredding (as OP established)..i can't call it getting shredded, maybe you can, it's ok, but where did you find here 6-1 or 6-2?

The logic is Novak choking the RG 13 semi is what mentally destroyed him until Wimby 14, including Wimby 13. You will agree Novak was a ghost in the Wimby final. In any case, it was far from a beatdown, even the score shows it.
