If if if if and if. 2011 WB finals between Djokovic and Nadal happened in ideal conditions that favor Nadal.

just stop drawing hypotheticals. Nadal simply cannot win against Djokovic anywhere outside of clay in last 9+ years. There is a reason why he is called forever number 2
I hope you know the scoreline of the match and that nadal had two breakpoints at 7-7 in the fifth

Does he? Hypothetically if he did what he was meant to do and get past Anderson in straights, then beat personal pigeon Isner in the SF, would he beat Djokovic in the final?

Djokovic’s 2018 Wimbledon form didn’t really move me. He was dropping many sets to average players and barely got through Nadal, who for about 7 years did absolutely nothing at Wimbledon. He beat an exhausted and quite frankly not good enough Anderson in the final.

Federer’s 2018 OTOH was pretty pathetic outside of the AO. It was a shock result losing to Anderson but he should’ve had enough to still make it to the final.

2018 not only marked Federer’s final slam but also this particular Wimbledon marked Djokovic’s stunning comeback into the slam winning realm, which he followed up by winning the next two slams and retaining world no. 1 status.

It wouldn’t have been a good final, that’s for sure, but in this made up universe can Federer beat Djokovic and prevent his incredible slam winning run from 2018-present?

Hypo Federer is undefeated.
