it's when everyone realised that federer was going to have serious problems with nadal on all surfaces.

and then joker came along which meant rafa didn't seem all that bad.

and now alcaraz is gonna take joker's records so it's all good in the end.

Federer only had problems with Nadal on Clay. People talk about the head to head matchup, but Nadal never reached alot of Finals/Semi-Finals outside of Clay to meet Federer in a grand slam where he was 10x better on Grass and Hard Court than Nadal

Tbh. I preferred the 07 Wimbledon final over the 08 final as far as quality of play

don't agree. nadal didn't reach a lot of latter stages when he was young but he did later on.

add in ATP finals as well.

Nadal won 8 slams besides the French, we gotta stop with this lazy narrative. McEnroe in total won 7 Slams.

Nadal is way beyond McEnroe. Just silly when ppl bring him up in the GOAT conversations.

Still never reached nowhere near Federer on Grass and Hard court

But somehow Federer met Nadal in the Finals/Semi-Finals a lot on Clay. So what does that say about Federer

Borg is considered an all time great and McEnroe took his mantle. I imagine this is the logic, though the man’s greatest accomplishment in Paris is a mixed doubles title with Mary Carillo

Well i mean Nadal did go 1-2 vs Fed from 06-08 in Wimbledon, won in 2010, fell off a cliff there until 2018.

Fed's record against Rafa on hard court is 11-9. Wouldn't say that qualifies as being 10x better.

that's nonsense.

nadal reached 16 non french open grand slam finals.

16/3 = ~5
