You need to move on to EFGH and the rest of the letters first. You can do it!Definitely.
I can't stop laughing.You need to move on to EFGH and the rest of the letters first. You can do it!![]()
Not a huge fan of the back-and-forth, but that was a good line - especially for these boards.I can't stop laughing.
Sampras didn't reach 10 major final in a row because he always lost early at RG.Consecutive GS semi-finals sounds the most impressive to me...simply because it spans almost complete six years of time period! That to me screams pure consistency! Nobody ever got anyhwere close to that! You can pull "weak era" arguments card out of your pockets all you want, but its hard to deny that even with weak era in the field its ridiculously hard to stay so consistent, that not even once crumble and fall on one's way to the semis in nearly full six season cycle! Thats just crazy! Ten finals in a row is also imoressive, but Sampras already did that before!

Put gluten in breakfastSolve Djokovic match up next and he will be an even greater player..
Also, Fed holds the record of consecutive 'finals' won, set at 24. That's nuts! Playing 24 tournament finals, and going 24-0? Huh?
Most dominant player's career finals won is about 66% (Fed included), so at minimum, a few losses are expected when the sample size is about 12 or so. But during this stretch of 24 finals, Fed is 100%. What!?![]()
Come on man.Marrying Mirka.
Fathering two sets of twins.
Explain please.winning 3 GS tournaments at least 5 times
Novak is the GOAT.Impressive for a GOAT to have losing h2h against not one but two of his main rivals, making his GOAThood forever in doubt.
I'm (right now, as I think about it) torn between that and any of 10/23/36 finals/semis/quarters.
For some reason, the 23 consecutive GS semis has always jumped out the most of those three...not exactly sure why.
18/19 consecutive finals. The one missed was a semi due to mono.
The OP used the term “accomplishment”.
I have always been torn between Federer’s record 23 consecutive semi finals and his accomplishment of 18/19 finals.
It’s probably just the word “record”, the impact and meaning of it, because I think his 18/19 accomplishment is every bit as impressive as the 23 record.
Those would be my favourites.
He was 10:23 which was quite inappropriate H2H for a multi-slam winner against anyone. Not to mention that among those 10 were wins against sperm/zygote Nadal.
Explain please.
Djokovic will be in a couple of seasons...AO - 6, W - 8, US Open - 5
That's his 5x3 record. Nobody else is even close.
37.Impressive for a GOAT to have losing h2h against not one but two of his main rivals, making his GOAThood forever in doubt.
Oh that. I thought he was talking about 3 slam winning years. And he said 5 and it's only 3(04,06,07).AO - 6, W - 8, US Open - 5
That's his 5x3 record. Nobody else is even close.
Explain please.
Doesn't change anything.
Novak is the GOAT.
Does that help? I hope it does.
Can't use this argument at all against Nadal.
:Is this serious post?Dont you know that Federer have won 3 Grand Slam tournaments (AO,US Open and Wimbledon) at least 5 times?
Oh that. I thought he was talking about 3 slam winning years. And he said 5 and it's only 3(04,06,07).
Its all cool mate.Yeah I saw this now.Well you have misinterpreted my post,no problem.Sorry for my aggressive response.
Djokovic has a winning H2H because he got to face 2015-2016 Nadal. Fed didn't really get the same opportunity if facing a poor Nadal even on clay.Can't use this argument at all against Nadal.
A lot of damage was done by 2012. Fed turned 31 in August 2012 and by then the H2H stood at 18-10.
At the end of 2009 it was 13-7. Since then Nad has 10 wins and Fed has 8.
Even if you only consider how the H2H stood at the end of 2009(the supposed end of Fed's prime) you can see how much Nadal beat him.
Now all the talk about the red surface will begin but it's upon Fed that he has a losing H2H to Nadal because Djoker too had the red surface problem but he still has a winning H2H against Nadal. By the end of 2009 Fedal stood at 5-5 off clay. 2-1 grass for Fed. 4-3 Hard for Nad.
Now given that this was all in Federer's prime and peak, an equal H2H on his best surfaces against a non peak Hardgrassdal seems really bad.
The only argument in favour of Fed is that he has a bad matchup against Nadal but that argument can be made for the losing party of all matchups. So every loser is a good player but has a bad matchup. No.
The Fedovic rivalry can be brought down to age but the Fedal rivalry has always been Nadal's.
Okay but why did Roger have a 5-5 H2H on Hard+Grass till 2009 against Nadal?Djokovic has a winning H2H because he got to face 2015-2016 Nadal. Fed didn't really get the same opportunity if facing a poor Nadal even on clay.
It was 5-4 Fed until the end of 2009.Okay but why did Roger have a 5-5 H2H on Hard+Grass till 2009 against Nadal?
Have we got any good looking explanation there mate?
Oh I am sorry mate.It was 5-4 Fed until the end of 2009.
And it was 8-6 Fed at the end of 2012.
He messed up one match which was very winnable: Dubai 2006. In Miami 2004 reports say Fed was ill so I don't know.Oh I am sorry mate.
It was indeed 5-4. 2-1 Fed grass.
3-3 Hard courts.
But why 3 all Hard courts with Fed being at his peak and clearly the greater player at HCs?
Fair point mate.Djokovic has a winning H2H because he got to face 2015-2016 Nadal.
I like to think that mono messed up Roger's 2008 hence the Wimbledon 08 loss. Now this loss messed up Roger's confidence hence the 2009 AO loss.He messed up one match which was very winnable: Dubai 2006. In Miami 2004 reports say Fed was ill so I don't know.
They didn't play many more times on HC either, especially on HC favoring Roger, like IW, USO, Cincy and even the AO on Rebound Ace. Miami isn't a place that Roger likes anyway. Just my 2 cents.![]()

Miami 2004 he was sick. Dubai he could have won as well. So basically it's 9-0 Federer by the end of 2009 off clay. Then Roger got really old and the rest of the matches don't matter because of that.
By the time Roger was still young(2009) the clay H2H was 9-2 Nadal. Now combining the 9-2 with 0-9 real Hard+Grass H2H we get 11-9 Federer by 2009 and that is all that matters.
VamosChum Jetze.
Saying things is overrated anyways.This must be how very important people at driving license centres feel like - no need to say things, just go around stamping stuff.
