Now that Wimbledon is nearly here, it’s time to remind everyone what Roger Federer did in his prime at Wimbledon from 2003-2007
5 straight Wimbledon’s 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
35-0 match record
Dropping only 8 sets in 5 years
No one had a prime like Federer 🐐

Roger Federer winning Wimbledon juniors at age 16 was an early glimpse of greatness. Even then, you could see the extraordinary talent he had. He won the title without dropping a set 🐐

Stop making it sound like it was this ground breaking invention of playing with lots of variety and coming to net.. btw Brown lost next round BOTH times, so clearly Nadal just couldn’t handle it but everyone else could.. can we stop making it sound like Brown played amazing?

Dustin Brown tiene un récord de 2-0 ante Rafa Nadal.
Y además, en la época dorada de Rafa.
¿Cómo lo hizo?
Fue el tenis más rompedor de ritmo que se ha podido ver en la historia. Le jugaba todo a palos, a saquetazos a 230 y a saque/red, dejadas y no jugarle jamás de fondo.
Nadal odiaba jugar contra él.
Su derrota en segunda ronda de Wimbledon 2015 ante Brown fue una de las mayores locuras vistas en esa época.

Lmao grass tennis is the ONLY thing saving this sport from being the most boring/repetitive sport in the world. If there were more grass tournaments, we’d have a lot more players who have attacking flair, use variety, come to net.. instead we get none of that now. Shut ya ass up.

modern tennis is not supposed to be played on grass. pass it on.

Cilic and Shapovalov played a 3 set match on grass and combined for 12 breaks of serve.
Yet people still say grass isn't getting slower every year. Is this clay? We're getting closer and closer everyday to every surface playing the EXACT same, and that's horrible for the sport

Hingis was only 16 years old btw.. incredible what she achieved at such a young age
In WTA history, there have been 4 occasions when a Slam champion faced only Top 50 opponents on the way to the title:
🇺🇸 Martina Navratilova — US Open 1987
🇨🇭 Martina Hingis — Australian Open 1997
🇺🇸 Venus Williams — Wimbledon 2000
🇺🇸 Sloane Stephens — US Open 2017

What makes Federer’s 2017 run even more insane, is the fact that it was his first tournament back from injury for 6 months.. imagine being out 6 months, at age 35, and beating 4 top 10 players to win a major. The single best run of all time and it isn’t close. The fkn goat 🐐
Only 3 players have won a Grand Slam title by defeating 4 Top 10 opponents:
🇸🇪 Mats Wilander — Roland Garros 1982
🇨🇭 Roger Federer — Australian Open 2017
🇪🇸 Rafael Nadal — Roland Garros 2022

Context is key. Both of Tsonga and Nishikori would’ve made 7 slam finals if they had Zverev/Ruud’s luck..

I even gave Djokovic’s group an extra player 😂. Yet you morons still call Federer’s era the "weak era."

(Tommy Robredo in 2013 RG)
🇮🇹 Matteo Arnaldi has spent 𝟏𝟗𝐡 𝟒𝟖𝐦 on court to reach SF at Roland Garros
It's by far the record in Slams. Certainly since 1991, when this data started, and likely across the entire Open Era based on a statistical inference

For the last 20 years, the French Open men's singles champions have been:
• Rafael Nadal
• Roger Federer
• Novak Djokovic
• Stan Wawrinka
• Carlos Alcaraz
Please, tennis gods, let it not be Zverev who is added to this list..

2011 RG had the stronger semifinal lineup
SFs:
• Federer vs Djokovic
• Nadal vs Murray
The Big 4.
2019, Federer was nearly 38 years old. In 2011, Federer was much closer to his prime, while Nadal, Djokovic, and Murray were all in their prime years.

Anytime a player wins a few good matches at a slam, you always see these types of overreactions.
Prizmic isn’t a top 50 player
Djokovic is 39 yrs old
Ruud isn’t a top 10 player
Mensik isn’t a top 10 player
Would be a great run for a 19 year old but one of the best ever? 🤦♂️
Jun 1
If Fonseca manages to win RG by beating Prizmic,Novak,Ruud,Mensik and Jodar/Zverev,it might be one of the greatest runs in slams ever.
