I'm for sure team Novak. I remember saying he would take Wimbledon last year and people laughed then.

Clay is Nadal, other surfaces I favour Novak when he's on form. We saw what he did at AO to Nadal in straight sets

Federer is the favorite for Wimby.

If Djokovic is fit and ready Federer has no answer.










Infact he has never had

Hows that overall record though Djokovic has that boys number, Fed lucky early in his career he was playing tomato soup cans like Nalbandian and Bagdhatis

I'm just pointing out that he did get Novak, prime peak Novak at that, at Wimbledon.

To your point, Fed fans can flip it and say Novak only got the H2H in his favor because he's been beating on a well past his prime Fed though and that's true. Fed ain't the Fed from 10 years ago. It's a moot point though, they all ATG players

They can but Fed played some of his best Tennis in the big 4 era because otherwise there wouldnt be a so called big era. 33 year old fed likely beats the fed that was besting those no names he was beating in his most succesful run.

Oh i def agree. Funny how Fed beat the dog shyt outta Novak at the 2007 AO and then by the end of the year, he had faced Roger in the USO final and then got his revenge in the 08 AO.

Let's not get carried away now.

The reason the big 3 are still the best players on tour now is because the men's game has been filled with no names and underachievers for years.

Fed's my guy but there's no reason a 37, almost 38 year old should still be a top three player.

I aint talking about now in 2019, Im talking specifically when Djokovic and Murray entered the fray as contenders, when fed was early 30s.
