As we know, Federer's prime/peak has been the subject of much discussion on this forum. He certainly won the most slams from 03-07, although per his own testimony, considered himself a better player in 2015 than ever before:
“I think I’m a better player now than when I was at 24 because I’ve practised for another 10 years and I’ve got 10 years more experience,” Federer said. “Maybe I don’t have the confidence level that I had at 24 when I was winning 40 matches in a row, but I feel like I hit a bigger serve, my backhand is better, my forehand is still as good as it’s ever been, I volley better than I have in the past. I think I’ve had to adapt to a new generation of players again.”
I think this is a potentially interesting matchup, since many consider Federer to have shown some of his most imperious, offensive form in 2005, something which his 2015 form was also noted for.
So, 2015 Federer meets 2005 Federer in the finals of Wimbledon. Then again in the finals of the Open.
Who wins, and what's the scoreline?
