This is in light of a topic I read, and I thought it would be interesting to hear what you guys have to say. Now as a disclaimer, this topic is made on the assumption that Federer or Djokovic make it deep enough to play each other or Nadal.
So in this topic just list some of the rperequisites in order for Federer, if he should win against them at the French, to have a fair win over them, with no excuses.
Don't take the topic TOO seriously, but I am interested in what you have to say
Here are mine:
That sounds fair to me.

Here are mine:
1. Nadal cannot make more than 5 - 10 unforced errors, because then he's not playing his best.
2. Djokovic cannot make more than a set number of unforced errors and can't double fault more than twice, or else it's his nerves.
3. Federer must make a lot of unforced errors or else he's playing the game of his life.
4. In light of #3, Federer cannot paint the line with winners, or else he's playing the game of his life and couldn't do it consistently.
He can only hit winners or shots that are near the middile of the court or deep (but nowhere near the lines) near the baselines.
5. In light of #4, at the same time, Federer can not hit winners that land middle or deep in the court but not near the lines, because then normally Nadal or Djokovic should be able to run and get those, so something is wrong with them or they aren't playing their best.
6. First serve percentages must be in relatively same range.
7. Nadal and Djokovic must have a perfect break point conversion ratio. If they have a break point they must take it, or else Novak is choking and Nadal isn't playing his best.
8. Novak and Nadal cannot limp, wince, or show even the slightest bit of injury or fatigue, or else they are injured against a fresh Federer.
9. At the same time, if they are injured and Federer loses, it will be Federer cannot even beat an injured Nadal/Novak.
That sounds fair to me.
