This isn’t merely about slam count, although one of them could retire with the slam record. It’s a combination of success, capturing the public imagination with their fitness/playing style/charisma (e.g Borg), highlight wins/losses, example set on and off court etc Who do you think leaves a...

The combo of Big hitter plus slow Hard Court conditions. Either he loses or even if he wins, he leaves the stadium flat or ground out, as he's forced into long attritional war and ball bashing off both wings....

The current record in the number of GS titles after 30th birthday holds Federer along with Aussie ATGs Laver and Rosewall at number 4. Behind them are Nadal and Djokovic with 3 GS titles. Which Big 3 member reaches 5 GS titles after 30th Birthday, who doesn't and why?

I'm seeing all these threads - and replies - built around the idea of "weak draws". Most of these have been directed against Nadal . There also seems to be a line of thinking that the powers-that-be have somehow conspired against Federer - arguably, the most popular player ever on the ATP...

(If this violates the spoiling rules please move this into the Pro-Results section but I'm convinced many will know the result regardless) I don't really pull for either Federer/Djokovic or Nadal but I wanted Nadal to win his 2nd Aussie open as some 10th Anniversary moment but Djokovic was just...

Novak Djokovic beat Rafael Nadal 5-7, 6-4, 6-2, 6-7(5), 7-5 in the Australian Open final, 2012 on hard court It was the third Slam final in a row (and seventh time in a row) that Djokovic defeated Nadal - and the two would go on to play in the French Open final afterwards (which Nadal would...

As a Federer and Nadal fan, it has been amazing watching these two over the years. Federer's game around 2007 was just pure art, his movement and strokes are a bit more industrious now as oppose to artistic (but it had to be done to let him play on). Nadal now hitting more aggressively and...

Okay, so I didn't see the 2018 Wimbledon semifinal between Nadal and Novak live and watched the last set on two occasions on replay. A few days ago I finally watched the match in its entirety because finding 5 uninterrupted hours for a replay isn't easy. And I have to say, I was blown away...

Well, its a shame that top3 guys from 2007 are still top3 in 2019 and contesting for big titles...So let it be...and consider their best old versions to play against each other After all, its a fedalovic thread again.... Let's consider their reincarnated or rejuvenated versions and put them to...

Here's a stat of questionable value on this slow day, although it does illustrate just how dominant The Big 3 have been the last, well, 15 years. I may not be breaking news here, but sometimes - with all of the debates here - it's nice to sit back and appreciate just what Fed, Rafa and Novak...

No, I'm not talking about the USO, or even a slam. I was thinking about this yesterday after reading an article where Roger praised Rafa for his tenacity: We're familiar with all their past trysts pre-AO17 - Roger in the lead, Rafa doggedly wearing him down until Roger loses his nerve and lo...

Rafael Nadal beat Roger Federer 1-6, 6-1, 6-4, 7-6(4) in the French Open final 2006 on clay The win saw Nadal defend his maiden Slam title from the French Open 2005, where he had beaten Federer in the semis and he would go onto defeat the Swiss at the next two finals at the venue too. Federer...

Right now it seems the Novak worship here has reached it's Zenith with predictions of world domination and annihilation of all records. Which is to be expected given his success in the last 6 months. Not begruding the genuine praise he deserves and fully acknowledging that he's virtually...

Hi! How you doin' peeps? I'm new to this forum, this is my first thread. I'm been a fan of Rafa for a little while now, got my heart ripped out and thrown into acid watching Wimbledon 2018 SF, aged at least 5 years watching Rafa vs Khachanov at USO over a month ago, went to sleep at the start...

With DelPotro out for injury and Nadal probably out too (I don't see him taking risks for 2 tournaments he never won and he isn't likely to win), this is probably gonna be the 8 players of the Masters this year. 1. Djokovic 2. Federer 3. Zverev 4. Cilic 5. Anderson 6. Thiem 7. Nishikori 8...

With too much time on my hands, I compiled the head-2-head records of the players who are likely considered the Top 10 of the Fed-Rafa-Novak era. Here are the results, assuming my stats and math are accurate: Djokovic: 173-82 (67.8%) Nadal: 152-74 (67.4%) Federer: 156-88 (63.9%)...

I am looking for a rafa bull featherlight dri-fit hat where the logo is on the bottom left side with no aerobill. Thanks.

There has not been a single match where Nadal has broken his racquet And There has not been a single match when Nadal has not broken the time rule Also There has not been a single match where Nadal hasn't picked his butt Really amazing record

Of Roger's numerous milestones, records and accomplishments, which (to you) is his single most impressive? You're not restricted to these - in no particular order: 20 slam titles (and possibly growing - I wouldn't count him out) 3 slam titles since turning age 35 (and growing?) 10 consecutive...

In my opinion, the 3rd Set played between Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal - 2011 US Open Final is the best SET in a tennis match ever played till date. Reasons: Both players playing at their best and to their limits at the same time! Jaw dropping rallies, court coverage and defense Extreme...
