Also the first time he did not win a slam level championship.
Maybe its more a sign of dominance of other great champion named Nadal.

The most impressive part of Nadals 3 slam level championship year is he did it against Federer, who many were claiming was the GOAT. When Federer achieved his 3 slam years, there were not other great champions to contend with and it was before Nadal reached his prime.

But it was kinda easy for Nadal in 2010, wasn't it? Seemed like he coasted through all 3 slams, barring a couple of hiccups at W.

Im sorry but if I recall Nadal did not play Federer in a single grand slam tournament this year.
When Federer achieved his 3 slam years Rafa was playing too, was he not?
Also Nadal achieved his first 3 slam year after Rogers prime so I dont see how it is any different than Roger achieving his before Rafa's prime, both players were not in their primes.
Im not taking anything away from Rafa or Roger both of them are great players but your post is utter nonsense.

He was super amazing against Sod in the US Open quarterfinal, was he not?

Federer is going to really regret not winning 4, 5 or 6 in a row.

And how, exactly, does this to relate to a topic called "Facts"?

Nalbandian was super amazing against Sod too, how many people think he's still super amazing though?

Soderling was in love with the net (as in hitting the ball into it) this US Open. Certainly not top 5 material, at least on hardcourts.

I agree, I don't think Nalbandian is still super amazing.

Wow, where do you get that crap from?
Fed did not win a slam this year? Nadal beat Fed in all the slams he won this year?
Let me guess, Robredo also won 2 MS titles and is the favorite for the indoors season.

What Fed did has nothing to do with what Nadal did. Fed has never won 3 consecutive slams on 3 surfaces.
What Fed did, other players did as well (although not 3 times you're right about that).
What Nadal did, no other player has ever done.

Facts:
Among Federer's 3 slam winning year, twice in 2006 and 2007 he defeated Nadal in one of the slams Wimbledon. Rafa wasn't good enough to reach AO and USO finals. But he beat Fed in FO finals.
So twice a year Fed has won 3 slams and runner up in the fourth. Rafa is yet to achieve that.
Rafa this time didn't have to beat Fed at all. Fed wasn't good enough to reach FO, W and US finals (which he regularly did from 2004-2009).

Maybe because Federer beat those other people so they could not become "great champions"?
And maybe Nadal is only winning now because Ryan Harrison hasn't yet reached his prime? :shock: The point is, you can say that about anyone since you don't know who's not at their prime yet.

The way he played in that wind was amazing. Probably Fed's best performance this year outside of Australia.
