LOL... "He is number one in the world"

Federer was later going to win US Open, Rolland-Garros, Wimbledon and the Australian Open in 2010; he also took part in both of the two others GS finals.

Where was Nadal in all this? Nadal got Federer at Melbourne in 2009 and that was about what he has done.

The history of Grand Slam Championships is written into Federer's leather tape; he just allow us to watch it when the times come. Hope he has an epic final to an epic career - 4/4, let's go Roger!

@GueorguiJoukov You really are a delusional jerk off. Fed won the US Open in 08 by a handover from Murray. To answer your question, Rafa was injured from Madrid 09-Wimbledon 09' due to knee tendinitis where Fed capitalized yet again on the luck he receives; playing a very shit Soderling in the final (sums up Fed's GS career). Rafa was injured again in Oz 10' and Fed received another handover by Murray.

[pistolpete58]

@GueorguiJoukov Im sick and tired of your overglorifying analogies of quite frankly, a good champion at best. Your making it sound we should be honored watching Fed rack up GS wins against lackluster opponents. Funny though how Rafa showed us yet again how average he can make Fed look and as long as hes in the draw and fit, Fed doesn't have a chance

[pistolpete58]

@GueorguiJoukov I suppose that sums up the 'leather tape' of Federer's Grand Slam Championships though, having no competition unless Nadal is in the draw, and even then the GS H2H is 2-7 against Rafa. I just dont understand how you can't see what kind of quality there is out there; beating people like Gonzo, Murray (twice), a 35 year old Agassi, Bagi, Phillipou, Soda in GS finals is not grounds for you to refer Fed as some kind of biblical hero. A case of divine intervention? I think not.

[GueorguiJoukov]

@pistolpete58

I never said that his victories were the reason why he stands as the greatest player of all time, though it is a necessary condition. If you recall reading my comments couple of months ago, I spoke of his game, not of his results.

The greatest artist is one which exhibits the greatest mastery of his art and, with such an ease, such a complete game and an outrageous level of consistancy, it is hard to discard Roger Federer... if only something came near, it could be arguable.

[pistolpete58]

@GueorguiJoukov his game is aesthically pleasing but if your basing the definition of GOAT on how good a persons game is no one did it better than Pete. Yes I understand everything is an art, and if your good at it, it's your chance to paint your masterpiece. But yes 'ease and outrageous level' does goes hand in hand when hes facing the kind of players I mentioned in GS.

[pistolpete58]

@GueorguiJoukov The fact that Pete dominated his era by holding the number one position for 6 years running, a feat Fed will never do shows whose got a more complete game; discarding Sampras in relation to Fed and achievements is ignorance.

[GueorguiJoukov]

@pistolpete58

I'm not a delusional jerk; I am just a rare man able to understand. I am well aware of why you speak this way, of what motivates your words... The problem is that you will not find in me such a thing because I never argue considering my person...

I consider Federer being so great because of the ease he shows us on the court, because of how he seems to master each part of his game. Really, you need to see the biomechnical beauty in his game to see why he dominated.

[pistolpete58]

@GueorguiJoukov If you are a rare man able to understand then you should understand my reasons and how I mitigate them when I speak of the career of Pete. The 'biomechinal beauty'? I think u need to calm down by using superlatives which are frankly, uneccessary. Do u rly think his game would allow him to win 16 GS's in the conditions and level of competition in the 90s n dominate 2 the extent tht he reaches 20 out of the last 21 GS finals?

[GueorguiJoukov]

@pistolpete58

Of course Nadal is a genius, but he cannot get to finals facing the same players Federer faces, playing on the same surfaces. And, speaking of his closest historical rival, Sampras, he couldn't even get to Agassi at Paris, so it was hard for Agassi to get a winning reccord.

Do not look at results, look at how... people lost sight of his baseline game - how it was in 2004 to 2007. He hitted 100mph forehands landing in the service box...

[pistolpete58]

@GueorguiJoukov Um seeing Nadal is fit again, he will very much be able to dominate any of his opponents including a substandard Federer in comparison. Well regardless of your baseless statement that he couldn't get to Agassi is because they only played once in 92'; and if you look carefully, Sampras beat more FO Champs than Fed or Agassi did in a single French so I'm not sure what your trying to imply here (Sampras is only 2-3 in clay h2h v agassi)

[pistolpete58]

@GueorguiJoukov 'm not even going to reply to the second part as many 90s players despite the disadvantage of not having polyester strings hit 90-100mph+ forehands. Fed hits maybe one or two in a match if not that, and if you want to compare pace, Sampras definitely hit harder than Fed. Nonetheless, Ill give Fed credit for the fact that hes a good champion and has an amazing technique.

uuu

[shirgen6]

I still get the chills when I watch highlights. When I watched the whole match, I don't think my heart's stopped that many times before.

[MegaWesa]

mine too... :D
