Rafa is great, but it's hard to go against Federer. Rafa never dominated like Federer did. 7 straight Wimbeldon finals winning 6 of them (5 in a row), 6 straight US open finals winning the first 5 in a row and also won 4 out of 7 Australian opens. I know he struggled with the French only winning one, but he made the finals 5 times in 6 years. No one has ever had a run like that and it could be a while before we see it again.



The stats I'll never be able to get over are

Consecutive Grand Slam semi-final appearances (23)
Consecutive Grand Slam quarter-final appearances (36)

That's incredible. So for almost 6 years straight he was a lock to get into the semifinals and a near lock to get into the finals.

Novak is starting to put up sick numbers just like those. Too bad he lost that RG final because this could have been a GOAT year and get him right near that top five all time.
