So let's get this right. The fact that Nadal owned Wawrinka before AO means nothing, but the fact Federer was "rather easily" handling Berdych means he would've had no problem with him in majors? :lol:
Peak Federer lost to teenage pubeless Berdych in 04 Olympics you tool don't forget that!
and then federer won 9 matches in a row vs him after that. All you can do is point out that one loss :lol:
when did I say nadal owning wawrinka before AO means nothing ?
Cilic drubbed Nadal in 09 WOW so that means he would own him in 2014 US Open? LMFAO where do you come up with this crap? Fed's lucky Rafter retired...
LOL, 2009 match was clearly in one of rafa's prime years. Cilic was playing even better at this year's USO. Yes, Cilic would've thrashed him
Federer at the peak of his powers? What does he have super powers now?
Was Nadal at the peak of his powers in AO14? or WIM12+? I guess Federer was at the peak of his powers in 2009 AO then when Nadal wiped the floor with him in the 5th set! You can't hide behind your bs excuses now can you :lol:
Also when Berdych and Sod thumped him in RG and WIM 10. You have to count those as well if you're going to count Nadal's later losses you brainless troll.
then I'd count the gonzo loss in AO 07 ...either take 07 AO gonzo or wim 14 loss to kyrgios. You can't have your cake and eat it too.
FTR, I wouldn't mind adding the 2010 RG loss to soderling ...
that makes it 3 losses in 28 majors ( from wimbledon 03 to RG 10 ) : safin AO 05, delpo USO 09, soderling RG 10
for rafa , counting from AO 07 till wim 14, that's 6 losses in 28 majors :
gonzo AO 07, tsonga AO 08, soderling RG 09, delpo USO 09, rosol wim 12, wawrinka AO 14, kyrgios wim 14
2006 Ancic please stop embarrassing yourself. Don't act like half these guys were even on when they played Fed.
Soderling played like a tool in the 09RG final. Blake has been a weak performer at majors his whole career.
I can list plenty of "instances" like these:
Soderling RG06, RG10, RG11
Del Potro WIM 11
Verdasco AO09
Gonzalez AO09, US09
Berdych WIM 07, WIM 10, AO12
Gulbis WIM08
Cilic AO11 (heck why not since you want to bring up 09 loss in p*ss fart tournament)
Tsonga in Davis Cup, Del Potro in IW, Gonzalez in Olympics...[/QUOTE]
soderling played much worse in 10 RG final than he did in RG 09 final. He's the only one you could remotely argue was not in very good form.
you have absolutely no idea how well ancic was playing in wim 06 QF vs fed. But then that's not unexpected from you ...
and blake was in pretty good form in USO 06.
half of your mentions are absolutely laughable - soderling RG 06, 11, berdych wim 07 and 10, tsonga in davis cup, gonzalez AO 09 ...
the 'major' notable ones are verdasco AO 09, delpo wim 11 and berdych AO 12 , but that's it.
