2017 US Open Final: Nadal vs. Anderson

[Moxie]

Bad miss from KA there. Rafa hit it super-short.

 

[brokenshoelace]

Because if the argument is simply being outplayed means you didn't underachieve, then Roger didn't underachieve at Wimbledon. He was outplayed in every final he lost.

 

[Fiero425]

Roger's even more complete and balance with 5 straight USO; never to be repeated IMo!

 

[DarthFed]

Nadal winning at all on HC isn't underachieving

 

[rafanoy1992]

I agree with BS. Federer got outplayed in his three Wimbledon finals.

 

[brokenshoelace]

Darth, you're dodging the argument.

 

[Fiero425]

When you have 5-7 of a major, it's hard to say he underachieved; even Rafa at FO proved that! He's good on clay, just not great anywhere else!

 

[DarthFed]

I didn't say Fed should've won the matches he lost. He played bad and lost at least some of them he played bad in

 

[rafanoy1992]

Credit to Federer for forcing a fifth set in the 2008 and 2014 finals

 

[DarthFed]

2008 and 2015 Wimbledon were weak performances

 

[Moxie]

Rafa is like a hurricane building over the Atlantic. Cat. 2 in the first, Cat 3 in the 2nd, and I'm hoping for a Cat 5 now.

 

[DarthFed]

He was even outplayed in the end of 2009 USO butnobviously that was a weak loss

 

[Fiero425]

Even with Rafa's 15-16 majors, he's nowhere near GOaTdom due to his inconsistency; dropping out of sight at times while the other players got their cans out there and competed well!

 

[rafanoy1992]

I would say this: His losses to Djokovic in 2010 and especially 2011 US Opens were very dissapointing

 

[Moxie]

You just try to make that so, Fiero. 15-16 Majors is not chopped liver. What do you want from a guy who's had injuries?

 

[brokenshoelace]

Haha nowhere near GOATdom, yeah OK.

 

[brokenshoelace]

Name me a player who didn't drop out of sight.

 

[brokenshoelace]

Where was Novak in 2009 and 2010?

 

[rafanoy1992]

Fiero, having 16 slams WHILE missing some time is sort darn amazing!

 

[brokenshoelace]

Where is Novak this year?
