Hewitt has 100% win over Federer. I don't see that as an improvement.

I always find amazing how Grandpa overturned almost all of the young's Fed problematic rivalries, while being crippled, half blind and with one foot in the nursing home.

Federer really upped his game with the new racket but unluckily for him Djokovic was there to stop him most of the times.

I see. Djokovic is a bad match up for him at his current age. Tennis is about match ups, isn't it? Funny how Djokovic can look unbeatable against Federer and Nadal (outside of clay) but nothing special against Wawrinka.

Wawrinka has a much worse head to head record against Djokovic than either Federer or Nadal can ever dream of having.

Nadal and Murray were better in 2008-13 by far. Federer avoided clay in 2017 and 2018.

Federer won 5 slams in 2008-13 compared to 2014-19 he won 3.

Since AO 2015, Wawrinka is 3-0 against Djokovic in Slams, including two finals. That's huge!!

Because Djokovic was too good.

It's not huge. They barely even played in years and the last match Djokovic had to retire. Djokovic is 4-4 against him in Slams and 5-4 in BO5 matches. He's 6-9 against Nadal in Slams and 6-10 in BO5 matches. Saying he dominates Fedal and has a bad matchup against Warinka is a head scratcher. He's 19-6 against him.

 

[DjokoGOAT]

logically speaking federer improved with the new racket and played his best tennis ever.

unfortunately for him the whole tour evolved making upsets more likely and Djokovic peaked even higher denying him in many semis and finals.
