Because it's the same as Agassi at the US open (04), Roddick, Wimby (04) and Haas at the Aus Open (06) for example. All of them had a bit of bad luck so Fed wasn't a bit lucky in them matches as well as other matches on his way to slams he's won? Same analogy.
Ok, he's never beaten him but he shouldn't even be close really as vice-versa (clay), let alone pushing Fed to the limit. The grass certainly is still reasonably fast and is Fed's fortress for crying out loud.
Right so your definition of luck, atleast as it applies to Federer, is now winning any match that goes 4 or 5 sets? I guess a player has to win all their matches on their way to a title in straight sets now or they are "lucky", or that just applies to Federer.
Also that Haas example is the most ridiculous of all, you should cover your head in shame for ever using that as an example. Haas was lucky as hell to even be in a 5th set, Federer destroyed him the first 2 sets and looked like he was going to cruise in straight sets and had a lapse in concentration that let Haas back in. Haas was never in the decisive 5th set, getting spanked from start to finish. That was one of the most one-sided five setters I have ever seen. Mind you all your examples are ridiculous, but that is the most ridiculous of all.
