lol ummmmm....I didn't even have to look at Wiki to know that the Fed stat was cherry picked (because of 2005 - 2007)

 

[duaneeo]

Federer says to compare him to those who have won 6 out of 7 slams (05 Wimbledon - 07 Australian Open).

@McEnroeisanartist, do these "patterns" just come to you or do you have to think hard about them? I'm honestly curious, you always have some kind of statistic or correlation to show us.

 

[xFedal]

Rafa like a boss.

its a record to lose 3 finals consecutively.

@McEnroeisanartist is paranoid and that's beautiful.

Federer is the greatest, Djokovic won't win the RG in the next few months, Feds record will remain untouched,

Hey at least he made em. I can only tip my hat to Ultron, at least he was slaying the game with real competition then.

Like a bawss he was getting slayed by his master Ultron....

It's called tennis, you step on court and you can win or lose. Again, I'm giving Djokovic credit, so I don't see the need to quote me. Nadal's losses make his wins that much better.
