Wimbledon - Fed 8 and Nole 8

[ND-13]

Not unless Djokovic wins 9. If Djokovic played Queens or Halle , what is the guarantee he wins Wimbledon ?

I am happy Novak equalled the legend Borg. Novak will likely get the HC record and that is good enough for me.

And why is Federer the grass GOAT due to his 8 Wimbledons? Aren’t there other players who have won the same number (or more) of grass slams? Back in the day 3 of the 4 slams were grass.

This.

Most Grass Titles	19	Roger Federer
Most Grass Grand Slam Titles	8	Roger Federer
Most Grass Big Titles (Grand Slam, All Tour Finals, Masters, Olympics)	8	Roger Federer
Most Grass Titles in Single Season	4	Jimmy Connors (1974)
Most Grass Grand Slam Titles Adjusted by Difficulty	7.96	Roger Federer (8)
Most Grass Finals	27	Roger Federer
Most Grass Grand Slam Finals	12	Roger Federer
Most Grass Big Finals (Grand Slam, All Tour Finals, Masters, Olympics)	13	Roger Federer

I think that’s wrong, no? it states that Laver has only 4 grass slams. IIRC Laver has 9 grass slams since every slam he won, except the two RGs, was in grass.

 

[maratha_warrior]

After reading all the comments in favour of Federer by fed fans , proves Djokovic is better clay player .

 

[vex]

Winning 3 titles at the age of 34+ and 5/8 after his 30th birthday LMAO.

Sure thing Bobby era strong Russia we war you

So Fed’s titles don’t count then? Rafa goat? Genius

 

[vex]

Fed is the better grass player - even if they tied at 8 - but the margin isn’t nearly as big as some claim. They both have special skills that work well on grass (Fed: serve, first strike tennis, all court game. Djoker: serve, return, accuracy)

The field has to remain utterly pathetic for Djok to get to 8.

probably will tho

Career points won %, Grass:
Federer: 54.72%
Djokovic: 54.05%

Career points won % vs Top 10 Opponents, Grass:
Federer: 51.65%
Djokovic: 51.37%

Career points won % vs Opponents w/ Elo >= 2000, Grass:
Federer: 53.55%
Djokovic: 52.63%

Career games won %, Grass:
Federer: 58.63%
Djokovic: 57.97%

Career sets won %, Grass:
Federer: 80.00%
Djokovic: 76.12%

Admittedly, these numbers are actually closer than I thought, and if Novak does win a few more Wimbledons, I'd have to consider his case over Roger. But for the time being, Roger clearly gets the nod.

Lew II is it you hiding behind a second account?

Open Era and you know this. Are you that bored?

So 2014-2015 Fed not as good on grass as Scud or 2005 Roddick?

From this point on there won't even be a 2014-2015 Fed or even a Roddick.

 

[Sabrina]

A more realistic question should be US Open Nadal 5 and Federer/Sampras/Connors 5

People really need to stop insinuating I don't know how to use statistics. It's insulting, especially when coming from people who ostensibly aren't well-versed in statistics.

What problem do you have with the stats I used? Let's dig deeper.

 

[Nadalgaenger]

From this point on there won't even be a 2014-2015 Fed or even a Roddick.

Maybe. But I wouldn’t underestimate Shaps, Tsitsipas and Zverev on grass. I actually predict Zverev to win Wimbledon and US Open next year and be World No 1

 

[The Fedfather]

Pretty sure Federer will have more finals at Wimby still, and then of course all the other titles that he has on grass.

The H2H is already accounted for in the Wimby titles both have, and I'm not sure how 38 y.o. Federer holding 2 MP's over 32 y.o. Djokovic proves Djokovic is the better player on grass.

 

[Mainad]

If they're equal at Wimby, then you go down a notch - What's their Halle/Queens title count?

Halle count, Fed 10, Djoko 0 (1 final). Queen's count, Fed 0 (lost 1st round in sole appearance), Djoko 0 (2 finals).

Hmm, OK. Still, strange to think that the grass GOAT would be from an era where grass has practically disappeared.

And yeah, I’m bored.
