They can't win either way, since if he was prime from 2004-2007, then he won his majors beating morons like Roddick and Hewitt, or baby/faded greats like Nadal, Nolan/Grandpassi, whereas Nadal and Nolan beat Freddie and each other to win theirs. Let them eat the cake they ask for and show them how it tastes, I say.
Agreed. Some RF fans, in their quest to prove RF's invincibility, started a whole plethora of absurd excuses: Mono era, past his prime, clay doesn't count, they are younger hence at an advantage (even when they were 15, it seems), Nadal dopes, Novak probably dopes, the courts/balls are too slow... it goes on and on.
When was this mythical peak Fed? 2003? 2004? 2005? It seems like whenever you try to isolate this legendary being, Fedfans always push him out of your grasp.
That was a great rant... Full of great one-liners and punchlines.
Because we can't "like" comments... here is a triple like.
The slowing of the courts was done to favor the general style of tennis that Fed plays, lengthy baseline rallies, with lots of flashy shotmaking to impress crowds. As he's gotten older and less capable of playing this kind of tennis, conditions favor players who are younger and fitter, but that's just the way it goes. Can't expect the whole world to literally revolve around the Maestro forever.
So Peak Fed loses to injured Kuerten at the French?
Lol, thanks.
Is it my prime or my peak? Wait, don't say! Don't want people saying I took advantage of a weak era later on.Petros ... I don't know when Federer's prime was but it's clear as daylight you're in the prime of your posting years, taking the Federer fans to the cleaners, LOL!
Did not know they were still playing.
So Fed was in his peak until French Open 2010? Then what, immediately transitioned to out of his prime codger over the next year, SKIPPING prime? Or his prime lasted less than a year, after which he won Wimbledon and broke the all time #1 record? LOL!!!!!
You just PROVED that Nolan beat a PRIME Fed at the Open back to back years, and strengthened his overall GOAT case.
According to you he was peak until 2010 French Open...so then he just immediately SKIPPED prime? LOL!Fed declined after 2010 reaching 19 SF's in the next 9 years. Fed proved at Wimb 2012 you dont have to be in your prime to beat a weak era.
Keep going Fed hater.
Lol, you're still failing to make any sense. But please, continue, it's amusing.
Lol get a life you sad man.
'greed. But you'll get used to them in time.
Not when he was 25 years old lmao. Pete could have gotten blown off the court by the likes of Anderson if they played peak for peak.
But your boy lost to scrubs (your label, not mine) in back to back years at the "Open". How can he have a case, and better yet, why have all you Sampras trolls come out of the woodwork after it came to fruition years ago just how weak the period was that Sampras dominated? Even for a layman they can see Pete had it far easier than any of the Big 3.So Fed was in his peak until French Open 2010? Then what, immediately transitioned to out of his prime codger over the next year, SKIPPING prime? Or his prime lasted less than a year, after which he won Wimbledon and broke the all time #1 record?

When it comes to Murray he is. I'll always maintain that fact.ok, so now we know @Mainad is not a whiny little girl
Even Baby Scud beat a peak Sampras in a major tournament, in straight sets nonetheless.
You what?
