so the most dominant player in his most dominant period had 7-12 (37%) h2h record against his biggest rival. including 0-5 series 2 times: 2009 ATP Masters 1000 Madrid Spain Outdoor Clay F Roger Federer 64 64 2009 Australian Open Australia Outdoor Hard F Rafael Nadal 75 36 763 36 62 2008...

it's a long list of feds losses after having at least one MP! too long for a so-called GOAT! and he was not 38 all the time. 24 matches of which 6 were GS matches of which 3 were against one of his biggest rivals and in all 3 he had 40-15! the last 40-15 in the final of his favorite...

6 (all time record) > 5 6 (maybe 7, all time record) > 4 311+ (all time record) > 209 5 > 0 36 (all time record) > 35 58 (all time record) > 56 29 > 27 ----------- 4 in a row (only man on 3 different surfaces) > 3 in a row 2 x golden master (only man with GM) > no golden master all time points...

2010 or 2013 was not noles peak, but it was rafas! the fact is that it was rafa's best year! the real No1e only appeared in 2011 when he solved his breathing problems and changed his diet. their both peak was 2011 when they played 6 major finals (+ AO 2012 as the 7th major final in a row)...

fed has a matchup advantage but nole are mentally stronger player which usually determines the most important matches between the 2!

I just wanted to show that it has never been age that was a problem for Roger without him simply facing better resistance after 2009.

fed had a negative h2h against both rafa and muzza even in his own era (2006-2009)! then he had the best results and the others were almost teenagers. fed vs muzza (2006-2009): 3-6 fed vs rafa (2006-2009): 6-11

fed has dominated a weak field, and that is a fact. as soon as he faced strong competition he stopped dominating. when rafa broke through outside clay and nole and muzza established themselves it was the end of feds dominance. and not because of age but because of tougher competition. fed had a...

nole in his own class: https://www.atptour.com/en/stats/leaderboard?boardType=pressure&timeFrame=Career&surface=all&versusRank=all&formerNo1=false

nole has lost 3 matches where he wasted MP throughout entire his career. and none of them were a GS match. 2007 - Youzhny, 3MP (Rotterdam SF, 6-3 6-7 5-7) 2009 - Nadal, 3MP (Madrid SF, 6-3 6-7 6-7) 2018 - Cilic 1 MP (Queen's F, 7-5 6-7 3-6)

a total of 24 matches and 48 match balls starting already in 2000! but, if we only take GS matches: 2002 AO vs Haas (Fed 20, Haas 23) 2005 AO vs safin (fed 23, safin 25) 2010 USO vs nole (fed 29, nole 23) 2011 USO vs no1e (fed 30, no1e 24) 2018 W vs anderson (fed 36, kevin 32) 2019 W vs no1e...

and precisely this is proof why fed can not be GOAT. to waste infinite number of BPs and (even worse) MPs has nothing to do with physical strength and age but only with mental weakness. and such a mental dwarf against his worst opponents just can not be GOAT. not keeping any significant record...

NO1E VS FED H2H (with points value): 12,100 (including 500p WO) - 7065 so nole has won 17% more matches against roger (22% including WO) than roger against him in their h2h, but the value of nole's matches was 71% greater!!! or if you prefer like this, nole have won 55% of the matches they...

even in their "regular" h2h, it is the case that nole has won the most important matches more often. it would be fun to see how many points are the matches that nole has won worth against the points that fed has won in their h2h.

yes he won the cinci final and WTF RR (which was clear tank job after nole lost 1st set, because nole was already ready for SF) but lost Wimbl, USO and WTF (same tournament but much more important match) finals! 2015 ATP Finals Great Britain Indoor Hard RR Roger Federer 75 62 2015 ATP...
