If you were to remove a player’s biggest rival(s), what would their career totals look like? For simplicity’s sake, I will be completely optimistic and assume that they would have won without the presence of their rival (Not counting Sampras’ loss to Agassi in the 1992 FO, because it’s extremely unlikely Sampras wins that without Agassi. Yes, this is entirely subjective, but this post is more for fun/illustrative purposes).

Here’s a selective list:

Federer (without Nadal)
23 Grand slams total (out of 27 events)
7 at Wimbledon, (consecutive)
6 at FO, (5 consecutive)
5 at USO, consecutive
5 at AO
11 straight grand slam titles (FO 2005 to AO 2008).
6 straight grand slam titles (FO 2008 to USO 2009)


Nadal (without Federer)
12 Grand Slams
6 at FO
4 at Wimbledon
1 at AO
1 at USO


Federer (without Nadal AND Djokovic)
26 Grand slams total (out of 30 events)
7 at AO (5 consecutive)
7 at Wimbledon (consecutive)
6 at FO (5 consecutive)
6 at USO (consecutive)

18 straight grand slam titles (FO 2005 to USO 2009)


I gotta question some of these, especially the Federer ones.

The Fed List if Djokovic and Nadal weren't there is flawed.

He wouldn't have 7 consecutive Wimbledon finals because he lost to Berdych in 2010 in the Quarters and the same to Tsonga this year... You can't just say if Nadal and Djokovic weren't lurking that he would have won those matches... That's BS.

Also he lost to Del Potro in the final of the 2009 US Open, so he wouldn't have 6 consecutive US Open Titles.

And lest we forget he lost to Soderling, 2010 French Open.

The only thing he would have is 7 Aussie Open titles had there been no Nadal or Djokovic.

puke, bleah ! Looks like the result of some inbreeding experiment.:shock:

Lolz, that picture is awesome, Rafa doesn't look too bad with that polo and hairstyle, but Fed looks atrocious.

I think the Polos suit Fed pretty well, in fact, I dislike when he wears anything else.

incorrect. Federer contested 7 straight wimbledon finals from 2003 thru 2009... And lost the 2008 final 9-7 in the fifth.
