Fed AO 07 is close but against a wider range of ATG on each surface Nadal does better.

A few players could be said to beat AO 07 Fed like 6 times out of 10 but the same is not happening to Nadal at RG.

That's the ONLY Big 3 slam win from that year, so what are we comparing it to?

Unless Roddick is Big 3 too...

no, just 1.
ditto Nadal at RG 07.
 
Idiot. We said slams.

Belgrade 2 only one that counts.

who are those few players?
gravinbongagis? cdffousssis?
Think he was saying in hypotheticals like Djokovic 2011 AO or Djokovic 2016 AO versions can take that Fed on. But I cant fathom anyone other than peak Borg over Nadal RG 2007 and peak Borg is a completely different era
 
Its comparison of slam winners since Big 3 era started not levels of Big3 only per se

I understand this to mean we compare slam wins within every season to other slam wins from Big 3 only.
 
Why do you want to fight over nothing?

I'm not fighting. I'm disagreeing.

Djokovic , Agassi and Nadal and Safin have that case imo.

only Djokovic.
not for Safin over a 10 match series
not Nadal either. he just about beat lower prime fed in AO 09. This is peak fed.
not Agassi over a 10 match series either

I said a case not that it would 100% happen.

All of them take at least 4/10 imo and Djokovic the 6 imo.

see his response. He mentioned like 4 players.
Djoko is the only possibility over a 10 match series.
 
Anyone want to do best non winners at slams each year from 03 to 21?

I gave it a go.
 
Okay for your pleasure I will say the other 3 get 4 and Djokovic gets 6.

That's how I see it.

I'm saying based on reasoning.
Safin's focus is bound to drift over a 10 match series. was a point away from losing to AO 05 fed in 4 sets.
Agassi's focus/mental strength is again less than fed's. peak a little worse IMO. .
Nadal's peak is by some distance behind. matchup makes it closer. Still he barely beat AO 09 lower prime fed.

the possibility of them winning 6/10 isn't realistic.
Think about it instead of just agreeing to placate me (or anyone else)

You know I don't quite rate Fed as high as you do so I think it is not out of reach.

Probably less so for Safin for that reason.

Forgot about Djokovic AO 14 and should have put Stan.

Rest is fine I guess not much in it. Think 12 Nadal is ahead because of the final but pre final can be debated.
