Puts big-4 in the title, leaves out anything related to the 4th member in an actual message! Lmao as far as comparisons between the three goes i agree with this rankings, but i think you sell Nadal way too short on indoor HC! Lol i don't think there is that big of a difference between Nadal's peak on HC indoors and Federer's peak on clay!...Maybe 5 points, but definitely not 10!...

If I am correct(I most probably am not) he has only won 1 indoor HC titles right ? Back in 2005 Madrid?

I am not sure! Madrid is most certain, since i remember him beating Ljubicic very well for the title! Not sure about the rest though...The thing is we shouldn't rate someone solely based on the amount of titles he won on particular surface and that alone! There are things like finals/semi-finals reached, h2h records on that surface etc! Nadal reached finals of YEC twice and only got beaten by two GOATS of that event Federer and Djokovic respectively!...If it was not for them - he would be two-times YEC champion by now!

Yes I think he is very good indoor HC player and would have won WTF at least once even on indoor HC. But just Ran into Federer in 2006,2007,2010,2011 and Djokovic afterwards.

I should really put him higher here.

blake beat Nadal in RR in 2006. good chance he beats him again if they faced off in a final minus Federer.
ferrer beat Nadal in RR in 2007. good chance he beats him again if they faced off in a final minus Federer.
2010 - legit great chance minus Federer.
2011 - Nadal lost to Federer in RR. also lost to Tsonga. was in no position to win that WTF.

Didn't remember this much details. Wasn't Blake supposed to be a tough match up for Nadal? I think Nadal had struggled intially against him.



Now if you had to rate the Big 4 how would you do it?

Nadal always had trouble with Blake, even in 2008-2009 he always needed a deciding set.

Davydenko was quite a tough match up too,e especially on HC .Doha 2010 was a great match From Ralph but he ended up losing it. Even on Clay at least once in Rome 2007 He ran Nadal close.
But of course these Weak Era mugs won't even be top 30 in Today's strong era.

Was Murray the only one who Didn't have a bad match up from the new ballstriking generation ? Early Novak had Roddick , Nadal had Davydenko on HC.

Interesting that you rate Djokovic on outdoor HC higher than Federer. Also don't think there is that much a disparity in Fedovic clay peaks and grass Peak maybe Slightly more closer too. Slightly harsh on Nadal indoors or maybe it's just about right.

But of course the question is highly subjective. So thank you for your contribution.

Murray initially had trouble with Berdych, being down 2-4 and 4-6 in the h2h, before turning it around big time to make it 11-6.

But of course Berdych doesn't belong to new balls generation . I was asking more on the lines of who troubled Murray most from Federer's generation .
