Nadal 2008
Djokovic 2013
Federer 2006

Why do you rank 2003 Fed so highly?

 

[Aabye5]

This kinda proves Fed is GOAT.

What and how?

 

[mike danny]

Why do you rank 2003 Fed so highly?

Arguably a masterclass in the semi and didn't face a breakpoint in the final. All that in his first ever slam semi and final.

What he said. If you’re taking about an entire tournament I’d maybe say 05. But 03 was probably the best SF-F he had imo.

[AndrewUtz]

This kinda proves Fed is GOAT.

Fed is that good and Djokovic still found a way to repeatedly beat him. Being able to still win even when you’re not playing well is what makes a great player imo. Of course I love fed though, I always rooted for him and Djoker.

 

[AndrewUtz]

exactly.

imo Fed may be the boat. Either him or Johnny mac, but it’s a completely different game we’re talking about. But the game sense by both is just unbelievable.

That point Roger Federer won to get the second set against Andy Roddick in the semifinal of 2003 Wimbledon was out of the world.. one of my favourite memories of Maestro

[Barton]

AO:

2011 Djokovic narrowly ahead of 2007 Federer, but it could be just my bias so 2007 Federer could be the higher peak. 2009 Nadal clearly behind. His peak at the AO is a bit overrated.

RG:

2008 Nadal way ahead of his rivals. 2013/16 Djokovic and 2007 Federer kind of equal peak.

WB:

2003/05 Federer clearly tops his rivals. I would have 2015 Djokovic ahead of 2008 Nadal, but it could be my bias.

USO:

2004 Federer and his 2nd best version 2006 Federer ahead of Djokodal. 2010 Nadal narrowly higher than 2011 Djokovic, but I think that if it was just one match, Djokovic would beat Nadal.

 

[RS]

I thought USO for Fed was 2006 and not 2004. Fed fans like 2004 more though.

It can be both. Federer is that good.

 

[Subway Tennis]

I thought USO for Fed was 2006 and not 2004. Fed fans like 2004 more though.

It might be because of the final. USO 2004 final was Roger Freakerer at his most menacing and unplayable on hardcourt. And it was his early style where he is playing with gay abandon, not much margin for error but just pulling it off anyway and going huge on the forehand.

I imagine it's because the final yes.

Actually a couple posters said 2006 I just happened to skip past.

But lack of competition meant his high level wasn't really challenged pre-Nadal.

Much like Djokovic post-Federer.

I want to know how Wim 06 for fed doesn't have a mention till my post, heh. Statistically his best, even with a deep row of opponents.
I mean you can argue for Wim 03/05, but still.

2004 BH wasn’t as good as 2006. 06 was better imo. Complete dominance in all areas of the court.

2006 was good, but I prefer the explosiveness of 2005 to the more clinical 2006.

Age difference. Check how many times they met before and after 2011.

It wasn't lack of competition. Roddick and Safin own Djokovic, factually, anything else is conjecture.

Nah, Djokovic showed a better level in the 2015 edition, the difference is that peak Wawrinka was clearly a much superior rival to Murray, who also arrived very tired to the final of RG 2016.

All the 2011-2016 editions of Djokovic were pretty similar imo.

It wasn't lack of competition. Roddick and Safin own Djokovic, factually, anything else is conjecture.

Yet neither was very good against Rafa at all.

And Safin and Roddick are in completely different categories.

Then anyone can say anything. Players are no wiser. Lest you agree with Alcaraz that Djokovic is lower than Fedal.

Roddick beat peakiest peak Nadal in 2010 when Roddick was way past his prime.

Barry Bonds swore he swung down on the ball when he hit. That's his own swing he was embarrassingly wrong about. People say things. I'll mindlessly defer to somebody like Feynman talking about physics, not a jock talking about sports.
