He isn't. He's playing well but he hasn't had to go another level yet. Medvedev is playing like gauff last night except Novak isn't Sabalenka with the unforced errors

We got robbed for the Finals.

Medvedev had one of those Wawrinka out of body experiences Friday night but couldn't back it up. His aggression was on 100 against Carlos and it's about 25 today.

Coco played exceedingly well after the first set, her court coverage was tremendous and she got aggressive later on. Med hasn't been aggressive much at all.

Agree later on she did but her ability to get balls in at all costs and sabalenka having so many unforced errors kept her in the game but anyway Major props to her and I was rooting for her!

Enough. I can't remember all the matches off the top of my head but it wasn't like Joker wasn't ever beating him.

Uh huh. Hard courts and Grass before were way faster. As evident when Del Poltro was blowing Djokovic and Nadal off the court

Even if that were true which it's not because Fed never had a big advantage in head to heads vs. Joker or Nadal, you should be able to win on any surface.

Djokovic and Nadal smoking Federer whether on faster courts or not.

If your boy can only excel on fast courts then he ain't that dude.

Nadal actually has an advantage over Joker on all surfaces but Joker is going to compile so many majors over the next year or two that it probably won't matter in the GOAT debate.

What advantage is that? Because he hasn't beat Djokovic on any court outside of clay in 10 years breh

Because it is true. Outside of Nadal at the French, Federer had advantages against both because of his serve and movement

Federer was still excelling and beating them when the courts got slower

Keep exposing yourself

Y'all basically arguing just to argue. Nobody is changing their mind on who their GOAT is.

Courts where slowed before Federer even won a slam

assumption babble: courts were not all slowed ONCE and they were not all slowed at the same time.

Spoiler: remember ...

Courts where slowed before Fed even won a slam

and slowed after.
