And Andre destroyed 20-year-old Federer.
Who had the better career, at the end of the day? Safin or Federer?![]()
More like Federer played in Djokovic's era but not the other way around.Djokovic’s six Wimbledons mean we should give Sampras another 3 titles so things look proper and right. But not Federer because he and Djokovic played in the same era.

Your comparison is faulty, simple as that. Roddick played Fed at the latter's best slam. Sinner didn't with Djokovic. Fed is pretty damn good at the USO too and Roddick played him there too.He still damn good at Wimbledon. Don't dismiss that, just because it hurts your feelings as a Fed fan.
But 20 year old Fed had beaten Sampras on the big stage before that.And Andre destroyed 20-year-old Federer.

Aren't people saying how awesome he played? So you can't have it both ways.For now? Yes.
There are always positives with no payoff.A lot of positives for young Sinner, from not winning a match prior to this edition of Wimbledon to taking 2 sets of the defending champion, there’s no shame.
I agree. I was making fun of the notions that they were in the same era their whole careers.More like Federer played in Djokovic's era but not the other way around.
Still waiting for him to become a man. I was hoping it'd be yesterday. Man, if he'd just realize he doesn't have to do anything other than play his normal game to beat Djoker, he'd win. Started pressing and the errors, tactical miscues, and just plain brain-farts came in droves... Very disappointed. I thought he could do it.Sinner was a boy trying to complete a man's job...
Shoulda Coulda Woulda! Someone give sinner a participation trophy for taking two sets off novak. Seriously this has been the story for these youngins for how long now? They will be known for their inability to end the djokonadal era with their game.

I'm not saying Fed was made of stern stuff but he pulled the kid of upset the Next Gen could only dream of pulling.But Agassi was also there. You can't just ignore him, in this case.
Andre only managed 1 Masters win against Fed when Fed was out of the Top 20. And Andre did to Fed what Sampras should have done to Fed at the same stage 2 months earlier at WC. Considering Pete was 5 years younger than Novak is today (and only 9 years older than Safin @ USO 2000, 6 less than Novak is from Sinner), and the fact that WC was his turf, its even more shameful than nextgen is so pathetic.
Andre was also able to defend his second hardcourt home (after AO) better than Sampras was able to his grass turf.

Which was also Pete's best surface.Sure, but he also got his butt handed to him in straights. So he won one of the matches, and went down in straights in the other. And he played Pete on his favorite surface, as well.
Your comparison is faulty, simple as that. Roddick played Fed at the latter's best slam. Sinner didn't with Djokovic. Fed is pretty damn good at the USO too and Roddick played him there too.
But Roddick played Fed at the USO, the other slam where Fed was strong.No, it's not faulty. If Roddick had played Roger even once at RG, we could have this discussion. But Roddick was not good enough to get there.

But Roddick played Fed at the USO, the other slam where Fed was strong.
But Fed was just an almost 20 year old who was playing on Center Court for the very first time. He didn't have a favorite surface then yet. Pete had just as massive of an advantage.Yes, but in this case Novak has a decided advantage. That's the part you are missing.
If this was a hard court (which is Novak's best surface AND Jannik's best surface), this would be a different conversation entirely.
It's too early to say grass is Sinner's weakest surface.But not on his own (Roddick's) WORST surface. That's what you are missing.
But Fed was just an almost 20 year old who was playing on Center Court for the very first time. He didn't have a favorite surface then yet. Pete had just as massive of an advantage.
And Djokovic routines Sinner on HC. Grass can help the big hitter tee on better.
WTF.
It's too early to say grass is Sinner's weakest surface.
But yet you already proclaim grass was 20 year old Fed's best surface.No, it's not. At this point in his career, it is his weakest surface. That may change.
Even Rafa's worst Slam tournament has changed.
But he'd never played on Center Court let alone against someone like Pete. It's not just the surface, Sinner would still lose to Djokovic irrespective of the surface.Fed did have a favorite surface then, and he had already played Wimbledon 4 times.
Sinner has only played Wimbledon twice before, including qualifiers.
But he'd never played on Center Court let alone against someone like Pete. It's not just the surface, Sinner would still lose to Djokovic irrespective of the surface.

Yes he isSinner you mug!!!!!!
