Well Novak did a nice job taking advantage of a past prime Federer. I would love to see a matchup now that he’s past his prime.
Federer would murder him pretty much anywhere outside of clay.

Fed's negative h2hs against both Nadal and Djokovic are mostly due to a ton of matches when they were at their peaks and Federer was old (and the first half of Fedal h2h due to the majority of matches being played on clay). People who gave Fed flak for losing to them more often than not needed perspective and they got it.

The problem is not that Federer skips Fo without being injured, but it is annoying to see Fed fans say that he does that because clay is not an important surface and winning on it means nothing.

Well, to Federer, clay is not important at this stage of his career. That’s obvious.

Well Novak is MIA regarding H2H against Fed when the tables turned. But this was just as predicted since 2017 and going strong.

At least not important enough to potentially ruin his chances at WO by the physical effort involved when playing on clay.

If the clay season was the last part of the year he would likely play, but right before grass season? Nuh uh

Exactly. These pathetic manufactured points are just excuses for the v@mos brigade to hate on Federer.
