Which period was most similar to Nadal's RG dominance: Sampras or Federer@Wimbledon?

Sampras.

That is all.

funny how your fanboi radar is never seems to detect Pete fanbois who make ridiculous claims (like Sampras beating Nadal on clay because Federer was able to do it, or Sampras facing "tougher" competition)...

btw, I'll save you some trouble: I AM a Federer fanboi, never denied it.

If kuerten could take out Sampras, why not Nadal (I usually don't resort to this nonsense, but I'm playing your game here...)? what does kuerten have over Nadal? Clay titles? NO! slams? NO! HC slams? NO! YEC? yes, but that's the instance that's being used for the debating here, so no point using that.

Wasn't a 29 yr old Sampras (in 2001) wayyy past his prime? Didn't you claim it nor not? so why would Pete stand a chance against Nadal?

You don't even have to play the "past-his-prime Sampras beaten by Kuerten" card. *Prime* Sampras was straight-setted by Muster in Essen in 1995, so he was anything but invincible indoor, despite what his apologists would like us to believe. By way of comparison, can you imagine Nadal beating Federer 7/6, 6/2 at WTF in 2004-2006? Because that's what we're talking about here (actually, not exactly, because Essen was much quicker than the ATP finals have been these last few years, which should favour... Sampras; so it would have to be an even sounder thrashing of Fed by Nadal indoor to compare).

Read my 'history' and you will see that I am a fan of Federer and think he's the better player of the two. What you fail to see is the overwhelming number of threads and fedfanboys such as yourself who use these troll threads to needlessly drag Sampras' name out of the woodwork for the purpose of denegrating him, plain and simple. I'm talking about those threads that didn't even involve Sampras in the first place. Petetards? They exist, maybe 1-2 out of 10. The fedfanboys? 10 to 1.

btw, you'll not save me any trouble, your username pretty much says it all. "Rulz?" i mean, pleeze....

Neither, the correct answer is Djokovic.

Nadal 27-1 in RG semis and finals.
Sampras 14-0 in Wimbledon
Djokovic 20-0 in AO and he was banned once or could possibly be 22-0 already.

You guys are just the best.

Nadal at RG in a tier on his own.

Djokovic at AO is probably 2nd but that isn't even clear.

What are you going to do when your idol loses his undefeated record in the semi-finals of his favorite Major tournament?

If Nole's AO biggest competitor is Rafa...
