@user-uj4ys6nw1i2 роки тому
I did not mention 2010 US Open final because Nadal played insanely well that tournament. So even if Federer made it to the Final at that tournament, chances are very slim that he defeated Rafa in the final. I guess the match would end in 4 sets with Nadal's victory. BUT IN 2011 I am certain that Federer had high chances of winning the final against Nadal considering that he almost defeated Novak in the semifinal who demolished Rafa in the final. Surely there can be people who argue that Federer was weak against Rafa at that time, but at the Grass and Fast hard court he could beat Rafa with great health condition.
@vladomontezuma6262 роки тому
His biggest chance was in 2011, he was absolutely ready to defeat Novak, but Novak was just amazing...

@prkrmc64573 роки тому
Federer's PEAK accomplishments will never be surpassed. We've seen two other GOATS rise to challenge him, and in my view, both are slightly better than him at the modern game. But Federer's Peak from 04-09 continues to be unparalleled. 23 consecutive semis. Twice 10 finals in a row. Almost 5 years of holding consecutive NUMBER 1 position. The most absurd Peak forehand I've witnessed since I started watching tennis in the mid-90s. There's tennis BEFORE Federer and tennis AFTER Federer. At 39 years of age, he's taking Novak to the limit with 5 insane sets at Wimbledon. It's clear he is the baseline of greatness. If anyone GOAT-worthy rises after Novak and Rafa, that guy will have to at least match Federer's level... how long will it be? A year? A decade? Longer? The greatest we've seen so far is Thiem, and he's struggled mightly against the 3 GOATS in their old age. Imagine Thiem playing pre-2009 Fed or pre-2013 Rafa... Poor kid.

I always wondered if Roger didn't like the challenge system because he knew it would hurt him in his quest to be crowned GOAT. The top players of yesteryear had an advantage that he didn't have after the the electronic line calling systems took over. The close calls tended to go to the Favorite before that. I'm not saying anyone knowingly cheated, but if the call was very close and the linesman wasn't sure, to rule against a champ on big point risked negative crowd attention toward you, and could potentially cost the Tournament a lot of money if the top draw was knocked out early....so when in doubt, go with the champ.....but the challenge system gave the underdog a friend in high places

From 06-09, Fed would've probably won at the US Open. The courts were faster then and flatter. After 2009, the US Open became as bouncy and slow as a fast clay court. They changed the speed in 2010, and many questioned if Rafa would finally take it. Well, Rafa TOOK it. If they met after 2009, Rafa would probably win most matches at the US Open. After 2009, on best of 5, Fed lost his edge against the other two goats. Rafa, however, has NEVER beaten Fed on an indoors court. The H2H indoors is 4-0 to Fed. IF there were more tournaments indoors, their H2H would probably be tied by now.

If I am not wrong, when Roger won those titles, he played semi and finals on consecutive days, sometimes with less than a day's rest in between (Murray final being exception probably). That makes the feat even more impressive. He had a very close 3 setter match against Djoko in 2009 and the longer the final went, it started to become clear that fatigue started to creep in. Delpo had a day match where he crushed Nadal so had more recovery time. With a day's gap, maybe it could have been 6 titles. Giving 2 bagels to a fighter like Lleyton is just insane level of tennis, that kind of dominance will not be repeated.

In his first up open title, he beat Agassi in QF, Tim Henman in SF and Hewitt in F (two former world number 1's and one top 5 player). And then people say he's a weak era champ, idiots. Let's also not forget what a great player Nalbandian was, although very inconsistent.

@@sadikmuktar9961 Because his prime ended in 2009/10 and the conditions changed to become slower and higher bouncing. He's also been injured to some extent at about half of the USOs the past decade. The weak era talk is revisionist nonsense. The consecutive wins here for 5 years straight against #1 players, slam winners is incredible. Even beat Djokovic 3 times in a row, 9-1 in sets...impressive for a supposed weak era champ.
@ralki152 роки тому
@@MI-ct9eh Goes to show these so called Djokovic fans are absolutely clueless about Federer’s timeline, like that idiot you just replied to. And yes, everything you said is accurate. Federer has always been an attacking play-style tennis player, so fast courts during his prime years were ideal and he excelled so well at it. Had the court speed remain unchanged from 2010+, I still believe (in theory) that Federer would’ve probably won abit more 3-set tournaments & GS titles up til now (even out of his prime). If anything, these 2010+ slow courts helped Djokovic (known for his extreme long rallies), but more so in favor of Nadal. These 2 should be lucky it benefited them a lot more, but heavily handicapped Federer. If you watch Federer vs Djokovic @ Barclays indoor match, which is a fast court. Federer beat Djokovic and he (Roger) was out of his prime. So that factor in itself says a lot right there. It’s funny cause Djokovic fans and Nadal fans talk so much but forget that 1 factor, which is the “speed” of the court that played a huge role and made a huge difference.
@MrFloydroy3 роки тому

@ralki153 роки тому
Back when courts were faster too and Roger excelled very well on fast courts. He probably would've gotten 23-25 GS titles by now if hard and grass courts weren't slowed down. Today's surface on hard and grass courts is all slow now. Such a HUGE DISGRACE and shame on all those tournament organizers. Bring them back to their original speed like how it's suppose to be and let clay be the only slow court....

Only Isner towers above him, and Muller is also quite a bit taller (6'4). There was another short or two in there, but I can't remember. About a year and a half ago, i noticed that 12 out of the top 21 players in the world were 6'4 or above. The land of the giants, and no one was below 6'0.
