Winning 3 Grand Slams back to back in '10 - RG, Wimbledon & USO
Winning Olympic Gold on the Hard courts of Beijing (when he hadn't won any HC Slam at the time)
Defeating prime Fed in Wimbledon '08 & AO '09! :lol:
Coming back from injury this year to win his second USO!
You have to pick one thing over the others. I know it's hard, but you have to chose.
Although I think beating Fed at AO09 was more impressive. Fed's level was sick that match. And Rafa was a bit tired from Verdasco. And it was 6-2 in the fifth, W could have gone either way. I mean Rafas defense was insane. Anyone else in history, and Fed wins this match.
And Fed was coming from an USO win, destroying Roddick and Delpo, full of confidence.
I rarely say this. But this is one of the matches Fed was playing really well and still lost. I think Rafa was playing way above himself in that match. Best I've seen him play on HC.
This is one of my favorite matches. Level of tennis was one of the highest. Also Fed was going for Petes record that match.
That match was destiny. Rafa doesn't have his career slam without this match. And Fed failure motivated him to win the french.
And Fed being past his prime, that doesn't mean he still can't play some matches like in 2006. It only means, he plays this less frequently. Decline is not, that now you play 100% of the matches worse.
