Fed stans would never admit this but its true....he didnt rly had a true rival untill nadal and novak came. I wonder how many slams he won before rafa and novak started to buzz...

I wish Safin held it together

I would still take Federer if i had to choose between the 3.....Nadal has the most GS wins and i would prolly take him 3rd just because he doesnt have the dominance without clay....

They arent too far off if you removed their most successful slams

Federer - 12 (No Wimbledon)
Djokovic - 11 (no AO)
Nadal - 8 (no FO)

 

[GetSomeMoney]

out of the 3 who is the most consistent on all 3 courts?

Novak in my opinion. Fed has a LOT of stans in tennis, way more than Nadal and Joker which has propped him some in the GOAT discussion as I think both Nadal and Joker have surpassed him but again people love Feds game (me included). Feds prime was filled with a lot of serve and volley players and Fed took advantage of it until everyone else improved their baseline play. Fed only added 4 more GS in the last 10 years.

why would Nadal retire?

his body is breaking down & Alcaraz has arrived to carry the flag for Spain

Fed won his first slam in 2003, 2 years before Nadal won his first French Open.

I think people underrate how great Roddikk was because of how much Fed dominated him. He was a world no. 1 at 21 years old and played in 5 grand slam finals. He just lost 4 of them to one of the GOATs.

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

Anyone who attempts to diminish Nadal's legacy "because Clay" is missing a point. We've never seen someone that dominant on a surface. The fact that Fed and Nov haven't stolen more than a couple French's are on THEM... that's they own fault. That's not on Rafa.

"Fed had no rivals in his prime"

Because he destroyed everyone in his prime

And everyone conveniently forgets Wimbledon and US Open slowing down the courts so other Tennis players could have a chance against Federer

fukk Nadal and @BucciMane

Which one of those guys would’ve been a factor these past 10 years?

 

[BlackAchilles]

Damn both these finals were duds

Rafa vs FAA was a hell of a match tho

Djokovic and Nadal would have both been factors the last 10 years. But no way they are winning that many grand slam titles and being dominant on Hard and Grass courts without the ATP slowing down those courts
