I knew this argument was coming, I was waiting for it lol

It's funny how people use Federer's greatness against him. Being able to win titles at an advanced age really made it seem like Djokovic and Nadal shared eras with him. If you discount Goran, Sampras, and Agassi... then discount Nadal and Djokovic's wins against Federer than. Which in turn diminishes their era even more where the only players that were even competition for them was Wawrinka and 1-2 years of Del Petro before injuries made him incapable of competing

God Bless Novak and Nadal for taking advantage of their weak era which was an old Federer, young inexperienced players, and one-dimensional players. Thank you
Nadal beat Prime Federer multiple times.

What do you consider Federer's era? Which prime greats was he whooping on? Davydenko? :mjlol:

All 3 are Great and Fed would have won about 30 slams if Novak and Rafa didn't enter the scene. He didn't drop off a cliff like people think the other 2 became greater than anyone ever thought

I never brought up This era vs That era. That is ya'll Djokovic/Nadal fan's talking point. Did you forget already? :mjgrin:

Whenever me or someone who says Federer is the GOAT, ya'll jump out the window on some "Bu bu bu bu look at his era!!! :damn:"
So I'm flipping your talking points on you. If you think Federer had a "weak era", then I literally flip it and say Djokovic/Nadal only had Wawrinka as competition, inexperienced players, and 1 dimensional players. If we strictly go by the amount of great players Federer faced from 1998 - 2022, it doesn't compare. And we know ya'll don't want to go down that road

Ben Shelton looking to really put his name on the map here today in the scorching sauna-like heat at Ashe :ohhh:

Him vs Foe in the QFs would be box office :ehh:

Shelton's got talent...if he learns to construct points better and control some of his natural tendencies...he won't be someone anyone wants to face
Looks like Paul is wearing down a bit and may be hurt.

Need Hijikata and Stricker to come through as well.:blessed:.

Shelton announcing his arrival to the tour :wow:

19 year old Alex Michelsen won his Grand Slam debut match too; the US Men's side is looking more promising than it has in a few years :ehh:
