Makes the two weeks in clay season 2010 in which he lost to Gulbis and Montanes look freaky.

Well after that match in Rome, Gulbis played great vs Nadal in SF, and almost beat Fed again in Madrid! Gulbis is very talented, might one day became a member of top 10!

In 2007 IW/Miami but Canas was top 10 in 2004

In 2005 it was. And i'm not sure if in 2002 and 2007 he got to the top 10 too.

Yeah, my bad, in 2005! In 2002 Canas won Rogers cup but didn't reach top 10!Also in 2007...

He wasn't top ten in 2007. He reached #12 in the 2007 season.

I think Benneteau was on fire that day, quite like he showed at Wimby this year, and it was a best of 3 match. Fed was quite meh the rest of the year in 2009 after he won RG, Wimby, broke the slam record, got married, had twins etc..

That's what I was saying...
He had just returned from a drug suspension or he would have been ranked higher.

I don't really remember much from that match except for the lack of frustration once it was over, which was in direct contrast to a lot of Federer's losses in 2009 :lol:
I remember thinking Benneteau played great though.

In Rotterdam one year... 2007 or 2008 I think. Had a very close match with Seppi in Cincy recently too.

Florian Mayer last year, too. And Feli Lopez in 2010. I can't even be bothered to go looking back further than 2010.

Nadal never loses to anyone on clay so who cares about his random losses to journeymen on hard & grass.
His 7 RG titles + 8 Monaco + 7 Rome + 7 Barcelona inoculate him.
Using this logic, Fed is the GOAT, so same applies, no?

So what you're saying is, Nadal is also consistent, but only on one surface. Awesome.

Federer's early 2007 losses are baffling to me. I can understand that first loss to Canas based on the streak and the pressure along with it...but to lose the rematch in Miami, and then to get smoked by Volandri...that just doesn't make sense to me.
