And BTW Bobby in regards to the weak era crap cause I'm sick of hearing that (not just from you, but from a bunch of haters and critics)...Fed won his first major in 2003. Nadal won his in 2005. Since Nadal won his first major and catapulted himself into one of the all time greats, Fed has still managed to outscore him in the major count, hold him from #1 ranking domination and has is still standing tallest as of right now (Nadal's out of the picture). Old man Fed managed to stop Djokovic from "hypothetically" (that word gets sooo much use around here so I figure I'll give it a shot) winning all 4 majors last year when he beat him at the French Open (beat him justifiably, and Murray as well in the next match at Wimbledon 2012). Fed is at 31, with a 1 handed backhand, playing under slower conditions, which are frankly about as perfectly suitable as you can get for his primary current adversaries (the grinders Nadal, Djokovic, and Murray) and still manages to get back to #1, win majors, get numerous titles, hold his own, post an incredible winning %, etc. He's playing under adverse conditions, and has been for a while, and still kicking *** against Nadal and Djokovic, and we still hear weak era crap. Scary part is he is not even done yet, more will only be added to his legacy and he's already at the very top. Come on now. If Fed was absolutely sucking right now, I can buy the weak era argument, but Fed is not just holding his own against the 2nd generation of challengers (1st being the Safins, Roddicks, Agassis, Ferreros), but actually continually rewriting the history books, year after year. If Fed had played Nadal more on faster surfaces more suitable to Fed's game as opposed to the vast majority of their actual matches being well tailor made for Nadal's spin on the game to take advantage of, the H2H would look way different. Off of clay, Fed actually leads the H2H 2-1 (grass and hard courts). On indoors Nadal actually hasn't even won a match, has only taken 1 set off from Fed. Now Nadal is the clay GOAT, yet Fed actually has 2 wins against him on clay, not bad all things considered. You need to look at the H2H objectively. Actually, I think that the fact that Fed still has 10 wins over Nadal despite all the adverse conditions possible, and since he's a weak era champ as many of you claim (utter garbage), proves how good he is.
Lastly, we're not saying he's a God. However, as far as I'm concerned, at the end of they day, without speculating and nitpicking on little biased specifics and just observing pure facts (not to mention everything that has been documented with him, every spectacular shot), he's as close as you get to the Greatest of All Time in the male game, and he's still not done yet (probably will play until 2016)
