2017 US Open Final: Nadal vs. Anderson

[brokenshoelace]

Did Sampras not drop out?

 

[Fiero425]

Federer, Laver, Borg are more deserving than Rafa will ever be! He stinks on HC for the most part and hasn't had a sniff of a YEC while Roger and Nole own more than a few!

 

[Moxie]

And Agassi. And Borgo.

 

[brokenshoelace]

Borg dropped out his entire career LOL

 

[brokenshoelace]

You can't be serious. A guy dropped out at 25 and you claim that's more impressive than someone winning majors in his 30's? That's insane

 

[rafanoy1992]

I did not know that 41 career finals on a hardcourt is "bad"

 

[Fiero425]

Borg could have continued winner FO for a few more years if they had given him a break to air out his brain!

 

[Moxie]

Exactly, Rafanoy.

 

[brokenshoelace]

Well, Rafa actually won those extra FO's you're handing out to Borg without even playing. Dumb argument.

 

[Moxie]

No one kept Borg from airing out his brain.

 

[rafanoy1992]

Also, most of those finals losses were against Fed, Djokovic, and Murray

 

[Fiero425]

That just showed how week the rest of the tour was to allow someone like Rafa who can be eliminated by a kid like Shar....

 

[brokenshoelace]

And how "balanced" is Borg's resume without winning the US Open?

 

[Moxie]

Or the AO.

 

[brokenshoelace]

He wasn't playing at the AO Mox.

 

[rafanoy1992]

Btw, Nadal will probably have 500 wins on both hard and clay courts...I would say that is balance

 

[brokenshoelace]

Not in his peak years anyway

 

[Fiero425]

Everyone has a place they have trouble winning! Roger was gifted his lone FO! Nole finally got his just last year! All players have 1 locale they've failed to get! Laver's was the WCT dropping memorable finals to Rosewall!

 

[Moxie]

He did, once.

 

[rafanoy1992]

Before his career is done of course
