yall think this is karma cuz fed used to dismantle roddikk something serious roddikk would train his hardest play his best match ever and come up short and fed would smuggly say i just find ways to win these big matches dont worry youll be back( he did it to other players too)
he was so dominanent he would look at nikkaz like thisand they would shake it
I think his arrogance at the top lead to him not handle nadal situation properly he never thought it would happen to him then he didnt know how to react and then other nikkaz startted
THIS
If it wasn't for Fed Roddikk career would be looked at COMPLETLY different.
I'm glad he met his match because it was looking to easy for him at one point....shyt was boring.

i agree with everything except
His BH IS worse than the two you named. Because he can't cope with the weight/height of Rafa's shot to his BH. Maybe, MAYBE Almagro or Haas can semi deal with Rafa's FH to that side, but even then they don't last long.
Truthfully, no 1HBH can deal with Rafa's forehand to that side unless he was DelPo height or taller and naturally hit from there.
If anything, Fed has the 4 or 5th best 1HBH to me.
Fed should just go to Rafa's BH the same way Rafa goes to his if he wants to play on the baseline.
Fed a bytch.
I'm sorry but this year the Rebound Ace is faster, Fed was sharp, confident after owning Tsonga in 3 and Murray (even if he was only at 80%) in 4, implementing volleys in his game with great success and on top of that, Nadal had a huge blister on his tennis hand but even with all that in his favor, Fed still didn't manage to win a set.
It's just mental against Nadal. Wawrinka and Gasquet and a few others can keep up against Rafa's forehand with their 1h backhand. And Federer's backhand ain't worse than any of them, so I don't understand why he can't manage to give him trouble. Maybe at Wimby, but I'm not even sure now.

figured out sampras and fed have had similar 'end of careers' so far
sampras won wimbledon, nothing for 2 years til he won USO and retired
fed won wimbledon in 12, winning nothing for 2 years.. except he may not get that last GS
and if Nadal breaks the record, tbh I can't respect it that much. I barely count French Open, it's the p*ssy tournament
nadal will have a nice balance of GS wins but 8-2-2-2 is pretty wack

my nig we playing for legacy in this bytch... , hard to play against the high spin ball machine wall
Yep. People dont realize that the difference between Fed and Dimitrov is while they LOOK the same stylistically, Grigor is 10 years younger, faster, hasnt had to deal with the pressure of facing Rafa, & handles that topspin better. Had Grigor had more big match experience, he may have won it or at least pushed it to 5

Yea but he's been to every slam final at least 3 times and been to to the wimbledon finals 5 times. Had he not gotten hosed by the rain, he woulda beaten Fed at Wimbledon in 2007
Fed played smarter than Grigor at 22. Grigor is very good but he's not on Fed's level ever.
I couldnt watch it but 
at rafa killing yall so called goat once again

Nadal & Real Madrid and Barca are the biggest blood dopers in the planet too.

Ima say like this though..... its no surprise for my stanery for Ralph Lauren Nadal, but win here ( for the 2 majors @ each surface feat). Lose anywhere else, hell even Clay would be cool, to Federer... and let that nikkas legacy go out with his head held high.. Fed has done so much for the sport, and while I at first hated him and everything about him He is my 2nd favorite of the top 4. Then he can retire, and ralph could sweep for a year or two, and let the young gunz take over after
