Those weeks accrued are atleast more meaningful than Novak’s weak era/COVID-ridden weeks

 

[RS]

DCGS was you being sneaky

lol

 

[Hitman]

I don't get the 139-3-11

What is that meant to be?

 

[RS]

I don't get the 139-3-11

What is that meant to be?

Winning to losing H2H's.

 

[Hitman]

Winning to losing H2H's.

Oh, so 139 winning, 3 equal and 11 losing?

 

[RS]

Oh, so 139 winning, 3 equal and 11 losing?

Yes I believe so.

 

[Oceans II]

I don't get the 139-3-11

What is that meant to be?

Has a winning record against 139 players, even record against 3 players, losing record to 11 players.
Amazing record.

 

[Hitman]

Yes I believe so.

OK, I didn't know that one.

 

[RS]

The 23 slam SF's in a row is a mind-blowing one.

 

[abmk]

23 consecutive grand slam semis
18 out of 19 grand slam finals
237 consecutive weeks at #1
65 grass winning streak
56 HC winning streak
24 finals winning streak
18-0 (unbeaten) vs top10 in a season - 2004
best 4 year peak : 2004-2007
best 6 year prime: 2004-2009
5 Grand slams at 3 different venues: AO, Wim, USO
5 consecutive at 2 different slams - Wim and USO.

 

[Hitman]

Wimbledon - USO double four times in a row from 2004 to 2007.

 

[Hitman]

Ending career with most W titles, joint most USO titles, most WTF titles.

So he holds the record at 3 out of the 5 biggest events of the season as it stands now.

WTF a big event? On which planet

 

[Hitman]

The 23 slam SF's in a row is a mind-blowing one.

We will never get close to seeing that ever repeated again.

He also has 36 straight quarter finals, meaning he made the final 8 for an incredible nine straight years.

 

[Hitman]

WTF a big event? On which planet

Any planet that Nadal is not on I guess.

 

[ForehandDTL]

Any planet that Nadal is not on I guess.

A Christmas tourney where you can lose matches and still win titles? Ahaha.

Dimitrov, Tsitsipas, Zverev are licking their chops.

 

[Hitman]

Federer winning the RR of the WTF from 2002 to 2007...Did not lose a single match in RR play in 27 straight matches against top ten players.

I’d add 6 YEC’s.

damn, that’s an obscure one I didn’t know…

that one is already mentioned.
I only listed ones not already mentioned.

I know you are Nadal fan, so I understand your frustration. But this isn't the thread to vent your frustrations that Nadal didn't win it by trying to discredit it. If you know your history, then you know just how big this event is. It's the same as those who say clay is a poor man's surface, because their guy didn't win as much on the dirt. Keep in mind, guys like Gaudio won the RG title, but were double bagelled by Federer at the WTF.

 

[TheFifthSet]

ahh, gotcha

YEC 2003 RR vs Agassi
YEC 2006 RR vs Roddick
an inch away in both cases, heh.

An inch or a mile, winning is winning.

 

[Hitman]

damn, that’s an obscure one I didn’t know…

He was quite the savage at the WTF during his peak years.

 

[Hitman]

First player to win a slam on HC AND Grass without dropping a set.

 

[TheFifthSet]

YEC 2003 RR vs Agassi
YEC 2006 RR vs Roddick
an inch away in both cases, heh.

Poor Andeh

Lopsided Wimby + Cincy ‘05 matches -> decisive but competitive USO ‘06 match -> nail-biter at YEC ‘06 -> beats him at Kooyong ‘07 (an exho, but a prestigious one)…….”he’s getting closer” meme intensifies…and then….’07 AO Semi lol.

 

[abmk]

First player to win a slam on HC AND Grass without dropping a set.

No one else has won a slam on HC without dropping a set actually.

 

[abmk]

An inch or a mile, winning is winning.

just pointing out how close it was.

 

[NoleFam]

Any planet that Nadal is not on I guess.

 

[Hitman]

just pointing out how close it was.

Well, he was close to losing RG against Haas by those very same margins, and close to beating Djokovic at W also. This is part of sport, sometimes it really comes down to an inch here or there.

 

[abmk]

Well, he was close to losing RG against Haas by those very same margins, and close to beating Djokovic at W also. This is part of sport, sometimes it really comes down to an inch here or there.

vs Haas at RG, he'd still have chance to break back. Not the same.
vs Djoko at Wim, well obviously.

 

[Hitman]

No one else has won a slam on HC without dropping a set actually.

True. Just the double whammy is even more impressive overall.

 

[abmk]

Any planet that Nadal is not on I guess.

 

[TheFifthSet]

He was quite the savage at the WTF during his peak years.

To a degree that’s probably not talked about enough.

03 F vs Agassi
04 RR and F vs Hewitt
06 F vs Blake
07 RR and SF vs Roddick and Rafa

some of his best ever showings came there.

 

[Hitman]

vs Haas at RG, he'd still have chance to break back. Not the same.
vs Djoko at Wim, well obviously.

He'd have the chance, yes, but the way that match was going, it looked like he was going out the door to me.

And lets not forget, his opening round match at Shanghai 2014, should have lost that one to Mayer, if that ball was just one more inch over the net. Instead, Federer going onto savage the draw and win the title.

 

[Hitman]

To a degree that’s probably not talked about enough.

03 F vs Agassi
04 RR and F vs Hewitt
06 F vs Blake
07 RR’s vs Nadal and Roddick

some of his best ever showings came there.

Yes they did. No question about it. Federer was a beast at the WTF, there is a reason why he is the greatest WTF player of all time.

 

[abmk]

To a degree that’s probably not talked about enough.

03 F vs Agassi
04 RR and F vs Hewitt
06 F vs Blake
07 RR and SF vs Roddick and Rafa

07 final vs Ferrer is up there. nearly as good as any tbh.

 

[NoleFam]

Federer has the most match wins, by far, in the Open Era at the ATP Finals, 59, while being at 77% winning percentage where 56 of these wins were against the top 10 and 32 were against the top 5. One of his most impressive records imo.

 

[abmk]

He'd have the chance, yes, but the way that match was going, it looked like he was going out the door to me.

Possible, but still some way to go. Under pressure for Haas.

And lets not forget, his opening round match at Shanghai 2014, should have lost that one to Mayer, if that ball was just one more inch over the net. Instead, Federer going onto savage the draw and win the title.

oh yeah, poor Mayer looked heartbroken after that match.

 

[Hitman]

Federer joint most 3 slam seasons with Djokovic = 3
Federer has two x 3 consecutive slam wins

 

[abmk]

@TheFifthSet :

I'd throw in the YEC 10 semi vs Djoko as well.
FH exhibition and excellent all around performance.
I have Fed with 25 winners+errors forced to 4 UEs in that match.That's a sick stat!

 

[Hitman]

Possible, but still some way to go. Under pressure for Haas.

Pressure, yes, but if anything Federer was under even more pressure, which is why that Forehand is one of the most important shots ever hit in history. Watching that match, it looked like a straight set loss was on its way as Federer was struggling to cope with the fact Nadal was out. Anyways, will leave this topic here.

oh yeah, poor Mayer looked heartbroken after that match.

Yes, he was in tears. Should have won it.

Top 20 matches Fed played in his career?

 

[abmk]

Top 20 matches Fed played in his career?

for non-slam events, I'd say so.

 

[Hitman]

Federer ended Nadal's 81 match winning streak on clay courts, he also book ended Djokovic's incredible 43 straight match winning streak

Federer has bagelled Nadal all three surfaces, including two finals. He has bagelled Djokovic in a final. He has also bagelled Murray.

 

[Hitman]

Federer also ended Sampras Wimbledon run, after four straight Wimbledon titles. Stopping him in the fourth round as he went for five straight.

Borg thanked Federer for stopping Sampras equalling his five in a row....only for Federer to do the ultimate troll and equal Borg himself. LOL

 

[Sentinel]

And still one feller didn't win it.
