In 2009, Federer won 82 sets in Grand Slam competition. This is the record for the open era. (No other player in the open era has won more than 80 sets in one year other than Federer, who also won more than 80 in 2006.)
As dominant as Nadal was at the Grand Slams in 2010, his sets won/loss % in 2010 was only slighter higher than it was in 2008. 86.67% in 2008 versus 86.70% in 2010.
Roger Federer had a higher sets/won loss % than Nadal's highest in 2004, 2005, and 2007 (2nd Highest in the Open Era)
In 2010, Federer failed to reach at least the semifinals of at least three grand slams in a year for the first time since 2003. This was a streak of 6 consecutive years. The record is 7 consecutive years by Ivan Lendl. By comparison, Sampras only reached at least the semifinals of at least three grand slams in a year in three different years - 1993, 1995, and 2000. Andre Agassi - twice in 1995 and 1999. Rafael Nadal twice - 2008 and 2010.
