Federer > Woods

He also won the US open and PGA in 1980 I will assume he was 40)

 

Tiger is 41

Jack >>>> TW

Nope, sorry.

Nope, sorry.

All day, then again.

Oh I don't know anything about tennis.. Other than I only watch to see hot chicks.

[penultimatestraw 473]

Anyone still in Tiger's corner?

[Cruzer 1,992]

Rog owns TW.. And one day he may even be equal to Jack.

Federer play the whole feild yet or just a few matches?

By that logic, a golfer is better than any pro sport athlete. Jordan and Gretzky didn't beat the whole field. Tom Brady hasn't beaten Aaron Rodgers in the SB

Does Tiger play at all?

What else would Federer have to do to match Nicklaus?

Collect 9 more 2nd place major finishes.. And win Wimbeldon at 46.

[KSB2424 3,082]

Is Roger the GOAT @ Tennis?

 

If so it's close.

[penultimatestraw 473]

Collect 9 more 2nd place major finishes.. And win Wimbeldon at 46.

Thats a ridiculous standard, as career duration is at least 10 years greater in golf. It is almost unheard of to win after age 30 in tennis. In roughly half as much time, Fed has the same number of majors as Jack.

I'm just pulling your chain Doc.. I know nothing about tennis other than I will tune in to watch: if it's women, with the mute on.

[edjr 5,547]

Another victory, this time over his rival Nadal?

 

Ho Hum

[drobeski 3,061]

Steroids

[NewbieJr 540]

The funny thing is, this used to be a legitimate comparison. There could have been an argument for Woods years and years ago.

[edjr 5,547]

Steroids

 

If you look at his right arm compared to his left, I would concur.

 

Looks like Quagmire after he discovered internet porn

I know, but I seriously wonder what he'd have to do to convince some fans he's better than any golfer.

know what's scary? if Nadal doesn't get injured he may be right there

True. Joker too.

[edjr 5,547]

True. Joker too.

 

I never thought joker was an all time great. Nadal was.

 

remove Nadal from the picture and Feds has 25+

[Cruzer 1,992]

Oh I don't know that Rog is.. He might be - but I don't know how to quantify it w/out knowing more about the history of tennis.

 

What Rog is doing is phenomenal - but Jack was equally phenomenal... Jack won 3 majors after the age of 40, and had 3 runner up major finishes after 40 as well.. Then, he tacked on 2 top 10 major finishes after the age of 50.

Djokovic has been slumping lately, but he is still top 10, maybe top 5 all-time. A couple more Grand Slams puts him in the conversation with Fed/Nadal.

Fair enough. They are both undisputed GOATs in their respective sports.

Federer into ANOTHER Wimbledon final.

 

 

What's Tiger been up to since Feds won his last Major in January?

Meanwhile, the rest of the "big four" are breaking down after age 30. Dude is incredible.

 

I don't think anyone remains in Tiger's camp on this topic.

Every now and then you get one of those guys, who just keeps going and going like the energizer bunny. Jerry Rice, Brady, Favre, Julio Franco, Nolan Ryan, Kareem, Carl Lewis keep doing it when most others in the sport were way done. Going to be a throwback weekend at Wimbledon in both the Men's and Women's Finals.

 

ETA: Not saying that is a list of equals in any way shape or form, just guys who played at an advanced age at a very high level.

Wanted Querey to beat Cilic, gave him a hell of a match.

8th Winbledon and 19th major.

Arguably his most dominant Grand Slam - didn't drop a set the whole tournament.

[drobeski 3,061]

Yes, yes he is. Easier sport to dominate though.

[Cruzer 1,992]

Forget Rog, considering he did it during Rog's reign:

 

Nadal >>>> TW.

10 of his 15 are on Clay, which Federer only has 1 of.

 

if not for Nadal, Federer would have 25 for christ sakes.

 

In grand slam finals, Nadal is 9 and 3 vs feds

 

Federer never got injured, ever.

 

Nadal is injured every few months it seems.

We are witnessing both the best tennis player ever (Federer) and the best clay court player ever (Nadal) at the same period in time. An amazing time period for men's tennis.
