@@codegeek-il5fm I don't disagree with you. Nadal was actually the biggest threat to Federer in the first half of his career. But from 2012 to 2020, Djokovic became the biggest obstacle in Federer’s path in his beloved tournaments. At Wimbledon, US Open, Australian Open, Sunshine Double and ATP finals. Since 2017, Nadal has no longer posed any problem to Federer outside of clay courts, as evidenced by the fact that he beat Nadal with relative ease at 2019 Wimbledon semi-final, while he was unable to beat Novak in the final, even though Roger was at his best and even though Novak was not on his day and was not playing at his best level.

Nadal beat Federer 2 to 1 for the first 30 matches. it was a bit of a one way street for a long time. The odd thing about Djokovic and Nadal is that even with more than double the Slams + Big Title Events on hardcourt compare to clay that they have played more matches on clay than hardcourt. More than double over-representation compared to the tour.

It's very interesting how RF couln't read Rafa's game at that point and how a 17 year-old kid could keep that tennis monster under control. At this point, Roger already had all the big scalps under his belt. Not only that, but he humiliated Agassi only a half year and Hewitt a couple of weeks earlier both times on home soils. And here you can see some kind of puzzledom and a bit of fear especially after those huge lefty forehands. This rivalry is a treasure not only for the tennis but for the world heritage.:D

Nadal obviously added a lot to his game, but all the ingredients were there and he was pretty consistent. Compared to Alcaraz, he wasn't quite as fast around the court but he could direct the ball anywhere he wanted with heavy topspin. You can tell he had good hands from the drop shot he put in-no wonder he started coming to the net.

So let’s get this straight. At the age of 22 Roger was already the top player of the ATP. Since then and forever he had to play against 5 years younger Nadal and Djokovic. Regardless of that he became the most dominant player of that decade. Now tell me who are the youngsters that Nadal or Djokovic faced?
@ethanrin9518 29 днів тому
Nadal faced Djokovic, and Djokovic faced Nadal 😂😂 the answer is inside the question
@MalekAhmed-kz3zu 29 днів тому
Come on let’s get this straight. In order to win his first title at Wimbledon in 2008, Nadal had to beat Federer, the defending champion, 5 times in a row (and Federer was only 26 years old at the time and ranked number.1). In order to win his first title at Wimbledon in 2011, Djokovic as well had to beat the defending champion Nadal. (Nadal was only 25 years old at the time and ranked number.1) so, Tell me, who was the player whom Federer had to beat when he won his first title at Wimbledon in 2003? Prime Sampras? Prime Becker? Prime Nadal? Prime Djokovic? No, he just had to beat the Australian Mark Philippousos. And this is the big difference between the beginning of Federer's dominance and the beginning of Nadal and Djokovic's dominance. Nadal and Djokovic had to beat their biggest rivals, while Roger beat players who had reached the Grand Slam finals once or twice at most
