I think I know why they try to make as if Basel is a huge tournament
Not that difficult to understand the RF “logic.
I'll give you Khachanov since he is still young and may win more. I'll also give it to you for admitting that Djokovic was good competition instead of sick since he had such a close match with Federer
. However, the other 3 are retired and they all have one thing in common and that's owning one career Masters title. All Paris. Coincidence? I think not.I think I know why they try to make as if Basel is a huge tournament

I wouldn't say that either player was playing their best tennis at the time. Both had sketchy play after good summers. Also, Federer was trying to do too much playing Vienna, Madrid, Basel, and Paris back to back.
So many wanted Federer to roll over and die. He refused to do so and many are disappointed that he didn't
The ones that wanted him to roll over didn’t have to wait long.So many wanted Federer to roll over and die. He refused to do so and many are disappointed that he didn't
Djoker knew it was coming. His fans never do. Delicious happeningsI remember reading from Djokovic fans that Federer "has no chance" and even argued that that is so since he hasn't beaten Novak "in years". What a disappointment that the old man can still spank his younger colleague in style.
Federer only peaks for Nadal and Djokovic now.

You have to look at who they played there too. Paris has usually always been the weakest masters.
Do you think that beating Nadal in Paris is bigger than beating Del Potro in Basel?
You are taking things too far.

I care more about form than names.
I rate Nole’s win over Wawrinka above any wins he had over Old Fed or Murray... who he usually beats on slow-medium HCs.
You are discussing w a fan group that wants carpet back. It isn’t that difficult to get the plot about their intentions.
Probably because he had to play prime Djokovic and Nadal rather than lost gen, mug gen, iPhone gen.
We have had this feeling since USO! Cause winning that one just sits pretty good until AO. That he got the N1 too makes it extra nice of course! Cannot ask for more.
Rafa has already gotten the N1 older than Fed was last time he had it.
Murray has not beaten Djokovic in a slam since 2013 he lost all meetings from 2014-early 16 and his peak level went down after early 2013. Wawrinka was way more of a threat in slam matches. Federer yes though.
Most of those came from 2008-2013 when Murray brought it to Novak he was tougher then. Thinking of the 14-mid 16 period things were different then.
Fed fans will probably say that Federer is too old to take that record now
At Wimb, where he was in good form to win, yes.
Djokovic was off in Rome after the Nadal/Nishi matches
I'm willing to rate the guy who denied Djokovic 3 slams higher than the guys who didn't.
Not quite. It's harder to be YE#1 with 2 younger ATG's around.
