@Regular_P still cant believe Coria caught the yips and choked the 04 FO and never recovered from it. He was the only one outside of Fed in the mid 2000's woulda pushed Nadal on clay

And never made it back. Clay's a finicky surface, man.
Coria's the same age as Fed.

Yeah, but during every great run, there's usually some guys that break through here and there. Look at the list of major winners since Fed first won in 2003; it's a joke.
The only Wimbledon winner not named Roger, Rafael or Novak is Andy Murray twice.
French Open: Juan Carlos Ferrero and Gaston Gaudio (French is such a joke) in '03-04 and Stan in 2015.
Aussie: Agassi in '03 (before Fed won his first major), Safin in '05 and Stan in 2014.
US Open: Roddikk in '03, del Potro in '09, Murray in '12, Cilic in '14 and Stan in '16.
16 years worth of majors and only 13 titles won outside the Big 3. That's not even one per year.
I don't see the problem, they are quite possibly 3 of the top 5 players of all time and they can beat each other. There are hundreds of tennis players out there and they have skill, but it's just like there were some great teams in the 80's and 90's who didn't win much because you had Boston, Lakers and then Chicago.
Also, it's not Nadal's fault he is the GOAT on clay. It's up to Fed or Joker or somebody to test him and they can't do it
I'll be honest, I'm negging @malbaker86 before the match off gp. 
If Nadal wins, I'm recruiting @smitty22 to lay down a second neg once he's done being :sadsmitty: after realizing Keita Bates-Diop is reaching his professional peak in Summer League. :beileinlol:

Damn, Novak dropped the 2nd set. Agut growing in confidence, but we have seen Novak do this then take final 2 sets 6-3, 6-2.
3rd set gonna be interesting.

Agut is making Novak work hard for any point now, Joker gotta dig deep to take him out.

He's had one three year and two two year gaps between majors, so that's not really the case. Nole wins in bursts and then injuries slow him down for a few years. That's why it's no guarantee.
