Why last 7 years my dear. Has tennis been played only for the last 7 years?
I would trade one of Nadal's non-clay slams for another Roland Garros

You think Nadal being humiliated by his biggest rivals on 2 surfaces for nearly 7 years is nothing?

There is over a million people, two of my colleagues included, who would love to agree with you that covid is not a big deal at all, but they can't anymore... Take your conspiracy theories elsewhere.
You find some Youzhny/Federer like contrasts at the first three Slams and tell me. But since even Federer and Djokovic are part of "embarrassing cakewalks" while Baghdatis and Philippoussis I imagine are not, what's the point of listing anything?
I know you are trying to make excuses but it's really not a good look for Fed at all if he really underperformed that many times. "He couldn't serve..." Long term mono effect? Let's wait for his supporters to rate his performance highly so his opponent just might get some credit for beating him. Sounds like a sensible idea.

And? If anything, him still being butthurt about Nadal winning 4 USO titles is very satisfying. USO 2019 was one of Nadal's best slam titles and I would not trade it for anything else. Starting from the fourth round he had drama in every match, especially in the final.

LMAO is the reaction to your comments. Right, Federer TOTALLY owned Nadal in 2014 by losing their only match that year.
Or in 2015 by barely winning a match in Basel against the worst ever Nadal. Or in 2016, 2018, 2020 when they didn't meet at all. In 2019 their head to head was 1-1. But at least Nadal went on to win the title after his win, unlike Federer.
Yeah, so there was the one 2017 season when Federer owned Nadal. This one year made some Federer fanboys go crazy and somehow talk about a 7 years domination. There were much more years when Nadal owned Federer.

USO 2019 was a pretty tough non-big 3 opponent draw.
Med, Cilic in the 4th round, Schwartzman.
The early rounds Chung and Millman. Chung faced Fed in the SF of the AO and can barely beat Millman. Berretini isint great but he’s not that bad.

Slams won against other Big 3 :
Rafa : 14 Slams
Nole : 13 Slams
Federer : 7 Slams.
Who's the vulture now ?

I'd trade them all for 20 French Opens. Imagine 2 decades of total domination at an event.

yeah all the wins against a 35-38 year old Federer. Unfortunately Federer couldn't take advantage of Nadal being 9 years old.

It's way more than one million, bro.
And I should care about your two friends because?
Yes definitely Baghhdatis who beat 3 top 10 players en route to the final where he was a point away from being a set and a double break up against Federer himself. Who did Berrettini beat again? Old Monfils?
A more sensible idea would be Nadal being able to win more than 9 games against players who Federer smoked in the final when Federer was at his peak.

Rafa has beaten 35-38 Fed only once. Rest he won against a prime Fed except AO 2014 and a good Djokovic

I don't understand why this thread has so many people up in arms. I think OP makes a good point.
Since he has extra Wimbledons or USOs to spare, I think that's a worthy trade to get 10 in a row at 1 event. The only real debate is whether his AO title is worth it.

I think Nadal would trade you after this.
Given how nadal is playing he is probably losing his mind and he has forgotten maths as well. He thinks Nadal has been dominated by Federer for 7 yearswas

You shouldn't. But you won't be in such an arrogant mocking mood should the problem come knocking on your door or of someone close to you.
Well that certainly makes him the equivalent of Federer and Djokovic that Nadal beat each of those 20 times in Majors, I am convinced now.
Or maybe Federer being the great US Open champion that he is should have exposed the opportunistic Nadal at least once in the last 11 years in New York? Since we are constantly reminded he did well in their head to head outside clay in recent years (and he wasn't even great at that in the distant past), surely he could have complicated Rafa's draws just by meeting him even once there in the last decade?
For all the past talk how H2Hs don't matter while Slams are be all end all, this 180 turn is funny. And I am sure Nadal equaling the record against all the odds has nothing to do with it...
The record is 6-4 to Roger outside clay since 2013.
In the last 5 years , Roger hasnt passed QF in the US Open and has only played 1 French Open. Thats not Nadal's fault and has nothing to do with Nadal playing Berretini. Maybe if Fed could beat John Millman or Dimitrov at the US Open he could play against Nadal instead of Berretini.

About the thread-even if Nadal had won RG 2009, I doubt he would have won 10 RG titles in a row. This is just impossible. Let's not forget he also got lucky in 2011 when Federer took out Djokovic for him. Who knows what would have happened if Nadal won RG 2009.

Just came back from my hairdresser, said that 2 days ago her son who's 5 years old swallowed a small metal ball. She rushed to the hospital and had to sign that her son had covid (without doing any tests) which she did because obviously she was in panic mode and her son needed help fast.
Not a single F shall be given from me.

Now you can expose them: with her testimony you and she can literally ruin the lying bas*ards.

No, trust me. If you go to a journalist that does investigative journalism, he will gladly take your case, especially supported by evidence. It will be easy to prove it: you have the paperwork and everything. I assume the kid didn't have any test done, so they don't have any documentation for him. Just run to someone like that and you will do everyone a great service.

Well, either you believe in your cause, or you don't. People that believe in their causes fight for them. People that only talk and fold before they have tried ...
Waiting until "it" crazes out is a kind of suspect. Basically you don't have to prove anything, just talk.

I give him all the time the benefit of the doubt (no that the virus is a fake, which was his previous claim, that one cannot pass, at least not with me. The one that somehow the problem is smaller than it is said), but he keeps disappointing, evading any responsibility to put his money where his mouth is.
