      @@potato_rv8946 I do think you could make the argument that there’s more depth in the men’s tour now than in perhaps any other era as the game grows to become more truly international and performance science advances. The top 50 is full of players that at any moment can go deep into a slam. But for raw talent on tour, as you say, and absolute stars the big 3 era will stand alone for a VERY long time, it was historic because of their dominance, and I don’t think either Sinner nor Alcaraz will be able to replicate those feats, there too many players that on a good day can match them.

    Most great champions just quit when they were starting to decline or when it was unlikely they could win a slam again (like sampras)
    to just keep going against the stiffest competition imaginable is just absurd really.

    Federer in that summer 2015 stretch really was red hot, playing an extremely high level similar to the first half of 2017 imo. Had he beaten Djokovic in that USO final, I think we’d view both of their 2015 seasons very differently, especially with Federer having not dropped a set coming into the final. He won Cincinnati without dropping a set as well, beating Murray and Djokovic on the way. In this match I feel like he really got into Novak’s head in that first set tiebreak with some genius shots, and also those three net cord backhand volleys 😂. Federer didn’t drop serve the whole tournament.
    That USO Final was closer than people remember. Federer’s break point conversion was horrible that match, which sucks considering his second serve return strategy was what everyone focused on during this stretch. It really sucked to see him give up this opportunity the way he did, but I think the pressure got to him, especially with the crowd on his side expecting him to win. Oddsmakers seemed to have him as the favorite or at least close to even.

The Joker had them perhaps only 3/4 oder even 2/3 long. Because Fed and Nadal at the end very naturally slowly became less powerful. Fed started at 16 or 17 already on the tour. So with 34 oder 35 it is normal that you can not be on the physical peak anymore. But there always was Nadal ... and Nadal always had Fed. And Joker was always 5 years later and fresher. - Joker is a hard worker and a very good player, even with the undisputed reigning ability on the court, with a superb body, especially these days at 36/37. But Fed was above the field, a genius and a special human. - If you can argue mathematically and weigh the powers at all time, you will come to the result that Fed could have reached 30 GS w/o Nadal and Joker. - The end of Feds career makes me much more sentimental than everyones else's. I will not miss Joker that much. And Nadal, the machine, always had looked overpowering himself, so one might be sentimental but also knowing there must be an end.

The edge was with the younger and fresher Nole in long 5-set matches, several of which went deep into the fifth and tipped the balance.
