Lets Play: Make the GOAT

[Fedfan34]

An alien invasion has occurred. They are placing the fate of the planet on ONE tennis match.

You have to engineer a player who has the shots of previous players from tennis history to go up against the alien champion. You are allowed to take ONE shot/aspect of game from a single player. For example, you cannot say Backhand Slice: Federer, Forehand: Federer.

So, from whom is your player constructed?

Clarification: First and Second serve can be taken as either one shot or two, your choice. Similarly, you may break down "volleys" into forehand or backhand volley, or simply say "volleys" of a certain player. You may NOT do this with groundies.

My "Champion" to Save Planet Earth:
First Serve: Ivanisevic
Second Serve: Sampras

Backhand: Agassi
Forehand: Nadal

Yea Maybe.. Its easier to have mental strength when you got a GOAT serve in your back pocket though



I have no problems with anyone putting Rafa above Sampras as far as mental toughness goes.

You forgot to put Federer down for any of the attributes. He has to be GOAT at something, right?

 

[90's Clay]

Arguable GOAT Forehand with Nadal. Outside of that.. Can't think of one aspect of his game that Fed is GOAT at.

Hes great at a lot of things. But GOAT in one thing? Arguably the forehand. But again you can argue Nadal's FH is just as great

 

[BGod]

Nadal is mentally stronger than Sampras.

Sampras' Grand Slam Finals Record: 14-4

He lost 2 of those past the age of 28.

Nadal's Grand Slam Finals Record: 14-6

He just turned 28 before the end of this year's French Open. Let's see.


Say what you will about Sampras winning several of his titles against forgotten opponents but in the Finals he was GOLD. He went 12-1 from his 2nd U.S. Open Final to his loss to Safin. His 1 blemish was the Agassi match in Australia.

 

[The Green Mile]

If it is just one aspect from someone....

First Serve- Karlovic

Bro, I know that you hate Roger but I saw you post many times that if Fed had great competition then he would not have even HALF his slams. Do you actually believe this? I mean half of 17 is 8.5 and you believe that he might not even have had 8 slams. I think it is pretty clear that Roger is a greater player than Novak, Agassi, Connors, Lendl, etc and these guys all got to that number or are within reach. You know that Federer of 2005 or any of his peak years was a formidable force in all the slams and he would have 99% won the final yesterday. Players like Roger don't come around often and you can see his skill throughout his game and how he plays the baseline differently than other baseliners. I mean he used the 90sq in for years and was the only one in the top 50 with that racquet. Federer and Sampras are very similar so try to enjoy both.

Do I believe that if he had to deal with 2011-present Djoker and 2008-present Nadal all through the tour on all surfaces instead of Roddick, Hewitt, Davydenko, etc? Of course I do. 2011-present Nole and 2008-present all surface Nadal are LIGHT YEARS ahead of the 2004-2007 crowd and there is no debating this.


He could beat Roddick in his sleep.. Beating all surface Nole and prime Nadal.. obviously a different story my man.


You really think Fed would be mopping up 3 slams a year with no resistance like he did in 2004-2007? Gimme a break.

You may choose ONE aspect from a single player. You have chosen more than one aspect from a single player more than one time.

You have been ejected from the Program. Last time I ask you to save the world!

 

[Fedfan34]

The goal of just choosing one aspect from a single player is to challenge us to think more about past players and thereby increase our appreciation and respect for tennis history. Some people can only love the present at the expense of denigrating greats from former eras. Its also to stop fanboys from putting Federer, Nadal, or Sampras for every single category.

For example, my favorite player is Federer. But I didn't put him for what arguably might be his greatest shot: the forehand. Instead, I chose his movement, because there is another forehand which is arguably in the same league as his (Nadal) yet in my opinion, nobody moves as smoothly, precisely, and effortlessly as Fed.

He would have less yes but he's still a good bit better than Novak overall and more versatile than Rafa.

Alright so if it was Novak, Nadal and Federer in their primes at the same time (ie. they are the same age) then they would all take slams from each other. Novak would reign over AO, Nadal over RG, Fed over Wimby and all would fight at the USO, IMO. Everyone acts like Fed would never beat Nadal at a slam if they were the same age but Nadal only won Wimby twice and has gotten worse so he would have like a 5 year window but Federer and Novak would give him stiff competition there. RG, of course Nadal would win all of them most likely. AO, Djokovic would be very very hard to beat and maybe Fed or Nadal would win one or two after Djoko declined a bit. USO: Fed is the best hard court player maybe ever and he would have a chance to beat Rafa here in his prime as well as Novak so probably Fed wins the most here.

So lets say if these 3 played at the same age for a prime of 8 years. age:21-29 then the results would be IMO:

AO- Djoko (5), Fed (2), Nadal (1)
RG- Nadal (8 ) maybe Fed or Novak win one if Nadal has a weird loss
Wimby- Fed(6), Nadal(1), Djoko (1)
USO-Fed(4), Djoko (2), Nadal(2)

So total slams would be: Fed(12), Nadal(12), Djoko (8 ). I think that these numbers are reasonable and shows that Fedal are better players than Djoko and that Fed would still have great chances to win double digits slams with two of the greatest players against him.

I would love to see your list

 

[Poisoned Slice]

I see a lot going for Rosewall for slice. I wanted to use Federer forehand, but picked his slice.

I started watching tennis in the late 80's and I had the Wimbledon finals from Borg onwards on video. I've seen a good bit of Borg, McEnroe and Connors, but never watched Rosewall. At least I can't remember watching him

Lets just hope Del Potro forehand is up to the task of saving the world.

I went with him as well. My thinking was because he managed to win grandslams after losing his first four.

I'd be so scared if Lendl is our choice to save the world, lol. He lost the majority of slam finals with only 40% conversion rate. My bet to save the world would be guys with impressive grand slam finals record like Sampras or Nadal.

[Tshooter]

Arguable GOAT Forehand with Nadal. Outside of that.. Can't think of one aspect of his game that Fed is GOAT at.

Winning.

Also movement.

And I'd put his forehand against anyone's. People that want to correctly point out that Fed has had a tendency in the past few years to shank it should note he's just about 33 years and Borg, one of the all time great forehands, used to shank it with regularity, in his prime.

Winning- Arguable. Laver, Pancho, Rosewall were big time winners too. Laver has 200 tourney titles. Fed doesn't have even have that. So how is Fed the biggest winner ever??


There is a lot of great movers in history. I don't know if there is a clear cut greatest mover. I don't think Fed is a better mover than Borg was for instance.


I'll still probably take Nadal's FH over' Fed's . All these years later and Nadal's Forehand is probably still the deadliest weapon on tour. While Fed's has decline massively since his peak days

I had to include Serena Williams and Steffi Graf. Serena's mental strength is so powerful, she practically murders people merely by thought alone. Graf's slice represents itself. (Yes, I believe Graf's slice was better than Rosewall's).

On point one, there's been many threads on the topic so I can't really add anything other than I go with the Fed crowd.

On point two much the same but I'll add I think Fed is a better mover than Borg. Borg couldn't even move past 25-ish. I'm not being completely facetious either. Fed is, IMO, not only the better mover prime to prime but Fed is still among the best movers at 33. It's remarkable to me. He's simply a better tennis player than BB was. With the proviso that this is an inter-generational comparison which I'm already on the record as thinking doesn't make much sense. The game has changed too much.

If you mean today, no question Fed's forehand let's him down like it did not in his prime. Nadal's is better but that isn't surprising to me given the age difference. I thought you meant peak v. peak. I go with Fed's.

Poisoned Slice, Rosewall had the better slice because it was a mixture of slice and fast drive and mostly offensive. Federer has a strict defensive slice.

I can't tell you have many times I saw Borg play. A lot. Bjorn Borg never did this ! In a GS semi no less.

Incidentally, the reason I zoomed in quickly was to cut off the guy (dummy) in front of me who sat for the entire match and decided the time to get up and leave was three points from the end. Good timing schmoo. You only missed one of the all time great shots.

These are always rather silly given that mixing different elite shots together probably wouldn't work so well as the style has to fit. You can't give Federer Gasquet's backhand because it would have to change Federer's style in order to work. He wouldn't have time to unleash that stroke if he continued playing right up on the baseline.
