CAMELOT FANTASIES

el dude is a great writer and one of the best but don't forget that he is heavily leaning towards Federer 100% of the time.



he is definitely an impressive writer.



look as far as rafa and fed go, rafa is simply better. there is no other way to slice that apple.


23-10 and especially the slam finals record against the two says it all. nobody can dance around that no matter how hard they try.

fed got rafa twice on grass while rafa was still a kid and learning.

and to fed's credit, he did play phenomenal tennis in those Wimbledon finals.


but it has been all rafa in the slam finals ever since.

even fed is on record for saying that the last man he wants to see across the net is rafa.

bottom line on that is this: fed has a better overall resume but if it is between those two, one has to have the conclusion that nadal has the upper hand. nadal is just better. fed has no answers for nadal. how else can anybody call it?



as for rosol and other upsets, it is tennis. upsets do happen in sports. top players and the all time greats usually manage to win but they are human. compraring rosol to nadal is madness. nadal wins more matches in a single year than rosol will in his entire career.


 nadal is not young anymore and it takes a lot out of him to dominate the clay circuit. and he has been doing that for 10 long years.


he is mentally and physically spent now after tearing apart the clay circuit. that is the biggest reason why he has lost the last 2 times early at Wimbledon.

nadal made 5 Wimbledon finals when he was younger.

2 other reasons why he has lost at Wimbledon early in the last 2 years:

1. there is a slight drop in his fitness
2. he has not really improved his return and his serve much in the last 2 years

I agree. But what's left out is that it's the Fed Fans who are always on that Fed is the Goat thing and Rafa is crap. Many of then can't even stick to tennis, but go off on cheating, lying, fake, drugging, etc.

You can't respect that.

All the while knowing that Fed has been dominated by Nadal since Nadal was a teenager.

I don't see how you can get around that. It doesn't make sense to me.
