Yep. 2008 Wimbledon. Federer down 2 sets to 0...Rafa double match point and Fed somehow weathers the storm and makes a furious comeback to force it to a 5th. Best match I've ever seen.

Fed is GOAT.

Nadal is the French Open GOAT.

Fed better all around player.

Safin, Hewitt, Agassi, Murray, Nadal, and Roddick aren't exactly nobodies.

It's not true that Federer is not the best at winning grand slams? I'd love to hear how you explain that one.

Well, to be fair. Fed had to face "scrubs" because Rafa couldn't beat those scrubs in the same tourney.

The overall records/accomplishments are overwhelming to Fed even with the greatest clay-courter's counted in too.

Yea he is.

Agassi


Dude was like 34-25


People that say Nadal is falling apart and Roger isn't. Its about GS wins and Fed has 2 after 28, Nadal has one.

Bobby, you are so biased for Nadal and Serena you lose all objectivity and resort to childish comments and/or opinions.

The object of any athlete is winning titles even if they stumble/struggle in an area or two.

However, that Fed struggle is on Nadal's best surface. Nadal couldn't beat scrubs to meet Fed in some of those majors. Again, Wimbly slowing the courts down allowed Nadal to be a winner there. Only reason.

Yes I would hold that against Nadal in a GOAT discussion. You wouldn't?

Roddick is a nobody? If it wasn't for fed he would have about 6-7 grand slam titles. For a while Fed was the only person on the planet who could stop Andy at Wimbledon

And The Mick, Fed doesn't have a clay court weakness. In honesty, of all the players in the Goat discussion (laver, Sampras, fed) Fed is the best on clay

Eta: In actuality, Fed is top 5 all time on clay, maybe 2nd best. He just happened to lose 4 finals, and 1 semi finals to the goat of all mother frickin goats on clay

So, he is now 10W, 23L and 20W, 20L against his two chief rivals.

Roddick and Hewitt weren't his rivals?

To be fair, Djokovic is 5 years younger, so they were really never in their prime at the same time, maybe when Fed was 28 and Djokovic was 23
