Every Federer fan loves to point out how Fed beat "peak Djokovic" at RG in 4 tight sets, so he is superior peak for peak on clay.
Nonsense. Firstly Djokovic had a walkover which affected his rhythm. Secondly that tournament was using lightning fast balls and conditions for the SF were damp and low bouncing. The stars aligned for Federer to score his only 1 of 2 slam wins over peak Djokovic vs 9 losses.
The year later they played in proper clay court conditions, and Djokovic swept about to be number 1 Federer aside in straight sets
Enjoy.
