Both lost a heartbreaking 5 setter final and both should have won in 4 sets at max.
In the previous comparison we saw 2015 Fed vs 2009 Roddick, but I think 2015 fed did not show the mental toughness or physicality to hang for 5 sets in the final whereas 2019 fed did show that.
So, lovely...
Did anyone take part in this? Some unbelievable items!
If you've ever wanted to pay £300 for a pair of socks, or £20,000 for a shirt, now is your chance!
In my opinion this could have been an epic in the making, I think if Fed wins 3rd set of USO15 Final to go 2 sets to 1 up, Nole fights back to win in 5?
I hereby humbly express my respect towards the Swiss legend, Roger Federer.
What he's been doing on court at this stage of his career is nothing short of remarkable and I wish him all the good luck.
You just can't hate this guy, just stop doing it even if you do right now. Love and admire the...

The slam race is really between your two idols. Obviously the GOAT race is between the two of them as well.
(I won't get into other subjective debates; to maintain consistency, slam record holder is GOAT imo + Roger most likely won't end up with it even if he wins another slam)
My question is...

Federer setting low expectations which could be of a benefit, there is a possibility he could ease his way into form and reach the Quarters or Semis at the French Open, in my view he will need to employ the drop shot more frequently and be more aggressive off of his backhand.
The swiss maestro's first match in almost 2 months, 3rd match in over 14 months, and his first ever clay match since he stunned us with that surprising magical run at RG2019 with a semi final.
Let's discuss about this match, ladies and gentlemen.

Some data goes a long way to show this stark trend but how did it come to that?
Of course we know that teenager are far away from peak performance but the strength of the trend surprises!
Having given a thorough rewatch to both, yesterday and today respectively, I wanted to compare these 2 performances. Which one do you think was better?
My breakdown by sets and by game components (serve, baseline, return, etc)
Set 1: Federer started a bit shaky, got the early break, but gifted...
