Agree but officially participation wasnt mandatory for USO 2020, hence rafa carried over his 2019 points.. As the rollover points, participation etc was ATP mandated & not onus on a player (loss of form, defeat, injury) to match his 2019 performance.. To me, it does seem like rafa (along with...

For canceled 2020 tourneys, I guess 2019 winner is automatically the defending champion in 2021..but what about tourneys like USO..nadal is carrying his 2019 winning points along with 2020 winner thiem..so who is the defending champion in 2021? If rafa wins 2021 USO, will it count as defending...

Graf was lucky Gunter showed up!

Good joke.. Next one pls!!!

Well said..

his biggest title prior to wimby 2003 were on clay! Wimby was slowed down in 2002 (100% rye).. I think the change in court speed helped his game

What I want: Fed 20 Rafa 22 Djoko 25 What think will happen: Fed 20 Rafa 22 Djoko 20

If Djokovic wasn't around, Nadal would have mopped up 2011 along with Federer! Fed would have been broken & retired by 2013.. Maybe we'd get to see that amazing AO2009 trophy presentation slam after slam!

With all other players (late '80s to mid noughties) in the field and their skills being the same including the Big 3, say if Federer was born in 1971, Nadal in 1976 and Djokovic in 1977, what do you think their slam count would be and what would be the slam count of that generation's superstars...

On lightening fast courts, Federer was 158-93 (1998-2002). His best results were in 2001 reaching QF in FO, Wimby, Miami and Monte Carlo. Rest were all Q1, Q2, R1 and if lucky R2- a solid top 50 Slowed courts to his liking & his game and he goes on a tear post 2002. Discuss

I'm not anti Federer but am not anti djokovic or Nadal too.. But for a tennis player forever revolving around 250s before courts slowed down, what does it say about him? Nadal could have run over had he chose to participate in South American clay Anyway with all due respect to you, Hamburg 2002...

We're talking beyond 250s here.. He amassed enough 250s to jack up his titles to over 100..if I'm not wrong, he has more 250s than djokodal put together!!! Prior to his 2003 Wimbledon win, what was his biggest title?

Tennis fan! Love all, critique all!!

The lightening fast one? Not sure Mr Federer would like that!!

You can have the last word as you're a self proclaimed adult

It tells us that Federer is as much as a beneficiary of the courts slowing down!

You've lost it by generalizing.. Good luck!

How about the year before bro? 4R in FO, 1R in wimby..

Why djokovic? You guys have him penciled as a beneficiary of slowed courts!

So what did you exactly answer?

FO: 1R, 4R, QF W: 1R, 1R, QF Not trolling bro!

He reached the QF at the French before he reached QF at Wimbledon.. Was that a good try bro??

Aha! So the fit one comes up with circular reasoning!!

Luzworthy reply for the man purported to be the GOAT (no arguments there, obviously along with Nadal and djokovic as the trio) and amongst the best, all big titles and deep runs prior to 2003 Wimbledon were on clay!

So you mean to say Wimbledon didn't change to 100% rye in 2002??

Federer was supposed to be winning slams in his teenage, all ATGs were.. Borg, Becker, Nadal etc etc.. That he couldn't is proof enough that lightening fast courts were his nemesis..slowing down the courts helped him achieve greatness While there's no doubt he is a quality player and deserves...

2002

Yeah obviously a troll.. For a guy idolising Federer for his powress on super fast lightening courts, why aren't there big titles to back up that claim?
