Lol, sample size. 1-1 against doll, 1 win on grass. 0-3 against Tim, no matches on grass. I'm sure Fed would've beaten Domm at wimbelle of all places.

Just a frustrated poster with too much free time on his handsWait. Did the rule changed, and now players aren't allowed bad-days or losses, especially to peaking players? Or must Fedr win all matches played on fast courts bc he's normally great on them, something he didn't manage even as peakerer?

That and Thiem is still 26 years old with very good mobility because he is still young. Nadal is older, so a bit more helpful.

How can I collect bigger sample size when we had all slow courts so far ? I expected Fed to wipe out this clay specialist on much faster surface.

You don't have to offer anything to me from the point you said "I am not going to ask you for proof. I know that you can't give me one, so let's just say that this thread is an absolute garbage.", and the fact you are still digging through this trash, is making you very questionable person to talk about anything for that matter. So once again - buzz off and don't talk to me as if you have some valuable advice to give. I don't want to have you in my life at all.I actually offered you a point that you didn't consider.

I am not addressing your points for you, but for those that might want to read why they don't make sense at all. Luckily, there are other people in this thread that actually have posted something that is worth the read albeit to disprove your points, so even in that there is some usefulness for the reasonable tennis fan. Maybe I was too pessimistic when I said that, so please provide the said proofs that at 30 Federer was considered 38. I would gladly look into them. As for the rest, you can always use the ignore button, but let's be honest here, if I was to be decide whether people like you would be around me, they would be gone (and they are). This is a public forum, so, you have limited possibilities how you proceed from here.

Absolutely. And of course I know Djokovic isn't at his peak now, that ended in 2012. He's become a better server, net player, and more percentage oriented since Becker came on board, which has prolonged his career (although his athletic ability is still best in the business).
Only issue I have with this post is that Nadal peaked in 2010, not 08 IMHO. Or to be really specific, grass peak 08, clay peak 12, HC peak 13, and overall peak 2010.

I dont buy this peak BS. Which is a recent obsession since fedal stopped mopping up. i prefer to listen to the players themselves the coaches other greats etc etc. These guys just dont all of a sudden suck. They have peaks and vallies. Retooling tooling. No where back in rhe 70s 80s and 90s was this GD peak thing ranted about constantly. Gets boring after awhile.

I don't think that you understand who gives likes for what if you thought that that is your argument about the worthiness of your points. For example, I can probably list the people that would potentially like your posts to me just because you are responding to me and for no other reason.
Don't forget to give those proofs that you mentioned (about Federer being considered 38 when the was 30) next time you post, as you seem to think that that is a truthful statement.

No, it wasn't. Any CPI data proving it? WB is the Slam averaging more aces this year. Also, RG was much slower and Federer was destroyed by Nadal, proving the slower the surface, the worse for Federer. The USO is also slower than WB and Federer has not won there since 2008.

You just posted a thread generalising about Federer on fast courts based on a single match at 38. I don't think that I need to search for a proof of who lives in an imaginary world out of the two of us.

He is a quick court specialist. Just because he lost one match doesn't change that.
Nor is Thiem merely good at clay. He won IW as his biggest title.
RF made some uncharacteristic errors, it may have more to do with the pressures of playing London again after Wimby 40-15 defeat.

You’re right, I am moaning. Temporary catharsis, if you will.
To be honest, I mostly just read the forum with interest these days. What you’re seeing is me replying to stupid posts, or ignoring trolls.Hey man, every single post you write here is about Fed's age or weak era, ie you write only excuses....

I am still digesting the fact that people use the term "fast" for the speed of the tennis courts nowadays.
Fed game fits naturally fast courts.
His offensive game is good for that.
In some extent Djokovic adapts pretty well too.
Nadal is the one whose game doesn't adapt well to fast courts.
Having said that, Federer has.benefited from medium and slow courts against big servers and big hitters like Tsonga, Del Potro, Isner, etc.

like that solves Fed's even bigger problem of getting dominated by not just one but TWO claycourters at his supposed best non-slam venue that actually matters? one of them being the greatest claycourter of all time?? dont forget Thiem's a better claycourter while you're at it

Players will always hit more aces at Wimbledon due to the nature of its surface, it causes the ball to skid off the court after the bounce, giving the player less time to react (as the bounce is usually pretty low on grass, with the exception of 2018).
This year's Wimbledon was dominated by the baseliners since the QF (Goffin, Pella, Nishikori, Goffin, Djokovic, Nadal, Bautista Agut) and all the big servers were defeated in early rounds except Querrey (who reached the QF and was crushed by Nadal, uncharacteristically I would say) which tells a lot about the conditions - and they were slow. And that is obvious to anyone who actually followed the matches, it was very hard to break the defense of a good baseliner on a surfaces that is supposed to be fast.
In the previous years, there were guys like Querrey, Cilic, Tsonga, Raonic, Kyrgios, etc at least in QF, some of them in SF. This year that wasn't the case.
Federer not able to win at the US open and his result against Nadal at RG has nothing to do with my comment about slow Wimbledon surface.
