All I'm saying is for the Nadal/Djokovic stans who say Fed was playing nobodies early in his career: he had two years before Nadal won his first Slam and five before Joker.

Murray and Wawrinka won their last Slams six years ago and they each wound up with one more than Hewitt and Safin.

These guys have been playing nobodies longer than Fed.

Murray and Wawrinka are far better than the cup cakes Fed played during his reign. Even
guys like Del Potro, Nishikori et al are better.

Also Fed never had another Atg during his reign like Djokovic/Nadal had eachother.
Reconcile that

And that bozo Djokovic still isn't vaxxed so it looks like Nadal is getting another US Open.

With the way polio has popped up over here and monkeypox? Yeah, they’re not making an exception.

So Nadal doesn't count now? Fed had 16 by 2010; Nadal had nine by the end of it.

US Open is the most fluky grand slam of the four. Nadal isn't close to a lock yet.

Well if Fed was passed it in 2011 while Djokovic was facing a Nadal whos collected 12 slams since, you'd say Djokovic faced a better player in his prime than when fed did up until 2011 where he supposedly fell of a cliff.

Again Djokovic had to contend with a prime Murray and Wawrinka at his peak. What players where equivalent in feds cupcake era as not many of his contemporaries won slams like Djokovic's era. To add, fed in his 30s still beats 99% of all players so yeah Djokovic still had far better comp than Federer.


I dare you to list the players fed beat in slams finals in his winniest years.

Hewitt and Safin were both number 1 ranked players at 20 years old. Roddikk was a number 1 player at 21. To say those guys are worse than Nishikori is mindboggling.

Nadal and Djokovic.

Like I said, Nadal and Joker have had a longer run without interference than Fed's early career. The best hope of a next gen is still a teenager.

Whoever @BucciMane roots for will automatically lose

 

[BucciMane]

Let Djokovic play. This is absurd.

Bruh they had eachother to contend with plus Murray, Wawrinka and even fed in his 30s who's still one of the best players of all time. What atg did fed contend with in his winnest run. At their peaks they faced far better opposition than fed did, even the next gen of Zverev and kyrgios is better than the likes of Bagdatis and them other cupcakes.

Hewitt and Safin were both number 1 ranked players at 20 years old. Roddikk was a number 1 player at 21. To say those guys are worse than Nishikori is mindboggling.

Exactly cupcake era where 20 year olds are world number 1. They wouldn't rank that high in the era of Djokovic,Nadal, Fed, Murray, Wawrinka et al

Djokovic, Nadal, and Federer are three of the greatest players of all time. No other generation had to deal with playing with all-surface guys of that caliber, not even the Borg/McEnroe/Lendl generation.

Earning a no. 1 ranking at such an early age is impressive regardless of the era because it requires the one skill that toughest for young players to grasp: consistency.

[Nero Christ]

Only thing that's gone from Serena's game, that she'll never get back, is her movement/quickness. Well her serve isn't as deadly as it once was.

Just drag the point out, tire her out, and you got her
