The age gap between Federer and Djokovic/Nadal is decreasing

[ADuck]

8 years ago from today,
Federer was 1.19x older than Nadal
And 1.24x older than Djokovic

Today...
Federer is 1.14x older than Nadal
And 1.18x older than Djokovic

Now consider the fact that Federer's game requires the least physical ability out of the 3 and is by far the most efficient.

What does this tell us?

So at age 50 we'll finally see Fed overturning his H2H against the two?

Assuming he is the better player, yes.

At this rate, in 2040, they'll be virtually of the SAME gen!

This is a failed attempt at whatever you are trying to say. Period.

Okay let me rephrase it. This is useless information. What was your point?

The point is that Federer should be closing in on Novak soon, and he has already done so with Nadal. That is if you consider him to be at least equal or better player than Novak on HC/grass. Every year that passes from here on out should benefit Federer more.

Huh? That is ridiculous. You are saying, the older Fed ages the closer the gap gets? Maybe, but Fed is already 38, so he is already in trouble, it is too far of a gap to start with.
