2017 US Open Final: Nadal vs. Anderson

[Fiero425]

I'll take the balanced resume of Nole over Nadal anytime!

 

[DarthFed]

On paper and in reality. He lost a slam final to DP and has had many crazy losses at USO over the years

 

[Fiero425]

Rafa's still scratching for 1 YEC!

 

[Moxie]

You can have it then, Fiero. Why is only 1 RG balanced?

 

[brokenshoelace]

Oh the "balanced" resume argument which is very easy to debunk. I'll make a thread about that after this match

 

[DarthFed]

2 weak losses to Nole. Bad loss to Berd, etc

 

[Fiero425]

MORE balanced; check the record! He has records Fedal are still trying to achieve!

 

[Moxie]

Rafa has underachieved at AO. He should have beat Wawrinka, had his back not gone, and really should have taken Roger this year.

 

[Fiero425]

I doubt anyone will ever break Nole's 2015!

 

[brokenshoelace]

Doesn't Nole have like 7 AO's? How is that balanced?

 

[Fiero425]

Shoulda, woulda, coulda!

 

[rafanoy1992]

Moxie, I would say the 2012 AO was more painful to me than this year's AO

 

[Moxie]

I look forward to your "balanced" thread, BS.

 

[Front242]

lol not a hope. Roger should have won this AO in 3

 

[DarthFed]

Down a set and a break vs Wawrinka before his back went and was clearly outplayed this year

 

[Moxie]

Yes, rafanoy, because he couldn't compete due to back. Agreed, there.

 

[Fiero425]

Boo hoo; how many majors has Rafa won over pigeons! At least Nole's record has him having to stretch himself more!

 

[rafanoy1992]

In that final set in 2012, Nadal was outplaying Nole until that missed backhand

 

[brokenshoelace]

He was outplayed Darth, but not beating a guy he hadn't lost a set against is bad. That's underachieving, no?

 

[DarthFed]

Roger has lost 3 finals at Wimbledon and 2 at USO. I'd say he underachieved at both but that's for another day
