Achievements that Federer and Nadal Achieved that Other Player Won't

[McEnroeisanartist]

In my opinion, there are two achievements that Nadal has achieved that Federer will never achieve that he wishes he would have.

Olympic Gold Medal in Singles
Winning French, Wimbledon, and the U.S. Open in one season

In my opinion, there are at least five achievements that Federer has achieved that Nadal will probably never achieve.

Winning three different Grand Slams at least 4 times
23 Consecutive Grand Slam semifinals
10 Consecutive Grand Slam finals
3 seasons with winning 3 Grand Slams
3 seasons with reaching 4 Grand Slam Finals

Thoughts?

I like this idea. There's a lot that could be added to this in the future as well...

237 consecutive weeks at number 1 is another..

winning all 4 clay tournaments in a row...
winning AO without dropping a set (dont see Nadal ever doing that, sorry)

Fed's records across all surfaces and his consistency are amazing...particularly winning three different Grand Slams at least 4 times and the finals and semifinal streaks.

Rafa's records and dominance on clay are astounding.

Amazing stuff to be sure.

Their best year end records would be cool to see though I don't think anyone will ever match Johnny Mac's 82-3--.965 winning percentage!

Also check out the winning streaks on the link I provided above.

Apologies if I got a little off topic by mentioning other player's records.

10 Consecutive Grand Slam finals

Thoughts?

Yep... he also has the 2nd best run at Slam finals also, at 6.
Laver and Agassi are 3rd= with 4.

Fed's best records are in his winning streaks... Nadal will never come close to these two below in my opinion.

Most tournament finals won in succession
#1 Roger Federer - 24
(#2 Nadal - 14)

Consecutive wins against players ranked outside of the top 5 in Grand Slam tournaments
Federer - 124 (ended when he lost to the then #6 ranked player Del Potro at the 2009 USO)
(Nadal's winning streak by comparison is only 24 matches! He's already back to 0 after losing to Ferrer.)

and maybe this one also.
Consecutive wins against top ten players
1. Federer - 26
2. Federer - 17
3. Lendl - 11
8th= Nadal - 9

what about 27 consecutive quarterfinals. still very impressive

 

[Agassifan]

23 Consecutive Grand Slam semifinals
10 Consecutive Grand Slam finals
3 seasons with winning 3 Grand Slams
3 seasons with reaching 4 Grand Slam Finals

This is about as incredible as it can get. Probably ever. The streaks of 23 and 10 are the greatest achievements in tennis history.. even greater than 16 slams.

Yes very impressive. However, I think Connors also has 27.

winning AO without dropping a set (dont see Nadal ever doing that, sorry)hmm..

Nadal won the FO without dropping a set... twice. Fed won't even do that once. Even at Wimby Fed has never won it without losing a set.

 

[mountain dew]

Federer probably has 5 times more achievements that Nadal will never do.

All the consecutive streaks, Slams in a row, finals, semis, winning streaks, all the percentages...

Federer's results in 2004-2007 are second to none and unless Nadal has at least 3 more 2010-esce seasons he won't match Federer.
