Nole has pretty much dominated tennis (at least until Olympics).
So who has had the most disappointing year?

Murray
AgassiRoddick
KrajicekAgassi
What is worse ?
Running out of steam in the 4th set in a slam where you are considered the GOAT ?
Getting bageled at a slam where you are considered the GOAT ?
Season was equally bad for Federer & Nadal.
Not considering their ages. Nadal had an 11 title season as a teenager lol.
Yes
Prime Nadal started off at age 19, that was a long time ago.
AO runner up and about to win another HC Masters. Top 3 favorite at USO easily.Medvedev.
Someone should make a gif of first point. Tells a long story in a short amount of time…This video
See at the beginning, that guy is already talking Fed - Nadal in the league of Sampras - Agassi type rivalry as early as 2005 before Nadal won his 1st slam
@MichaelNadal
Infact there was a lot of hype during the Semi Finals of the French Open
Federer was repeatedly asked by journalists on how his and Nadal's rivalry is shaping up, what are the plans etc etc
Shockingly Federer himself was smiling and talking of Nadal as his contemporary and rival, saying it is good for tennis, he is a tough competitor and what not ...... he was treating Nadal as his equal in 2005 itself and whole of Tennis world was buzzing at Fedal
Djokovic came so late into this hype by 2011, damn, Nadal is actually is from Federer's generation, almost covered the entire peak, by 2010 itself Nadal was a legend and Novak was nothing back then.
Both are just 11 months apart but such a big difference of a generation in maturity and greatness
Where? AO GOAT and RG GOAT on duty and he ain’t winning Wimbledon…Thiem because I was absolutely completely sure he would have atleast won one slam going into his title defense at USO

Yup....worthy of that.
Nd imagine guys like @GameSetDjokovic @NoleIsBoat @nachiket nolefam all started watching tennis from 2010-2011 and they think Tennis revolves around Djokovic
Federer and Nadal are Tennis, Federer has been Mr Tennis for 20 years now, when he retires it will be the end of an era.
Novak doesn't have the connect with the crowd like Fedal, his connect is more of a -ve energy / villian types..... like a person whom the crowd likes to boo..... like the Triple H of Tennis

It really is crazy how long these dudes have been at it lol. I think Fedal was already being bigged up by the FO bc of Nadal beating him on the first meeting, then almost doing it again in that INSANE miami final in 05. Then Rafa had a crazy clay season, good times. I wish tennis felt like that these days
You are such a confusing troll lol. Idk who you actually support since you screw with all fanbases
Yeah.
When Nadal arrived that time itself people knew that an ATG had arrived, he was quite thin in 2004 but by 2005 he had become a beast, many people here call him baby nadal in 05 .... actually that baby was good enough to beat every clay great from every era in that slam itself .... he was a ruthless force of nature in 2005 itself.... 11 titles is massive, Federer also won 11 titles that year .... both had same number of titles
This is also why I don't care about weeks at #1. Who else wins 11 titles in a year and doesn't end up #1? This was such an EXTREME case of unluckiness to have a peak year during 2005 Fed.
Without Federer Nadal would have been ranked 1 from 2005 till 2010, he would have been the ruler of Fed's peak in Fed's absence.
Where? AO GOAT and RG GOAT on duty and he ain’t winning Wimbledon…
Ugh At least Nadal still slayed during Fed's peak though lol, the REAL victims are Hewitt, Roddick etc, Fed just absolutely destroyed their careers lol
It could have happened to anyone.
People won't believe it if I say this but if Djokovic was in place of Hewitt/roddick then he too would have retired with 1 wimbledon and 1-2 US opens, aus opens he would have won some, no denying.
In Nadal's case his pet slam is immune to anybody's peak, in any era Nadal doesn't have to worry since he has clay, thats why he picked 11 titles in 2005 like a boss
Hewitt didn't have that luxury, Fed crushed him, Roddick too, Roddick modelled his game on Sampras and the 90s style of play, totally outdated, happens.

Roger absolutely did not consider Nadal a contemporary rival in 2005. If anything he was extremely dismissive of the idea.Shockingly Federer himself was smiling and talking of Nadal as his contemporary and rival, saying it is good for tennis, he is a tough competitor and what not ...... he was treating Nadal as his equal in 2005 itself and whole of Tennis world was buzzing at Fedal

Getting bageled at 40 with lack of match practice.. was painful to watch but it wasn't that bad cos we know he won't be competitive at 40 with lack of match practice.What is worse ?

He played a horrible match but won more games than Nadal did in 2019…5-7, 2-6, 2-6.
Yeah, shows you how pathetic Fed's rivals were when only a teenager could challenge him and be #2 already at 18.This video
