Yea it's pretty crazy how much the game of tennis, like all sports, is about matchups. I've said it before and I'll say it again, Rafa in his prime, beats Fed 7 out of 10 times. Djok in his prime prob beats Rafa 8 out of 10 times. Fed in his prime prob beats Djok 6 out of 10 times. It's nuts how good these guys are.

The reason I still don't universally accept Fed as GOAT is because he had no Rafa or Djok early in his career.

I feel bad for Murray. In most eras, he's a 5-10 time grand slam cham.

All of this is even excluding the beast in the room: Del Potro.

If he gets back to pre-injury form, we're looking at a blood bath at 1-5.
