It must be so depressing to have to play against this.

Walk in the park so far for rafa
Shit end of a good tournament.
The effort Wawrinka is having to put in just to try and hold serve is crazy
Great game this one.
La Decima is no near!
Walk in the park.
Pretty dull end to a pretty dull tournament for me... But at least we got a worthy winner. Hopefully the grass season is a bit more interesting though.
As expected.
Could he win next three Rolands as well?
Back on the juice?
What a legend!
He lost 35 games all tournament. All tournament. That's five games lost per round. Insane.
That is one hipster engraving guy.
I think that's less than even 2008 !
Horrible final for the neutrals.
second greatest tennis player?
Was that Pique?
He can speak french?
Most definitely.
This is 3rd best all time win-loss% all time at slams. By very fine margin, 3rd. First two, Borg, both at RG.
4th or 5th for me
That's not settled yet. He can be THE best and there are lots of arguments for it.
Who would you have above him ?
He was already for me. Looks like he'll hold off Djokovic as well so he will be for many years yet.
There are few arguments for it considering the guy who has more slams and is 4 years older just won another slam this year and may also win yet another in a month.
Literally where is the next generation of male tennis? Can't believe Federer and Nadal are the ones to gain the most from Djokovic and Murray being incredibly out of sorts. Mad. Hell and Stan third, who is also older than Djoko-Murray.
I'd manage my schedule too like they will do knowing how easily they seemingly will be able to bump their numbers.
PS - If you are gonna say Nadal fourth of fifth, you have to say Novak as one of the ones above. His two insane years alone put him in the conversation, forget the fact he's took out Fed, Nadal and Murray all on their favoured courts, and the rest of the courts to boot.

Surely must he the 2nd after Federer, also a shame of the injuries, he'd probably reach even greater heights. Hope he can put a challenge on Wimbledon too, but think Roger is the favourite.
That guy has also been owned by Nadal for a very long time. Only when they retire it will be more clear. Or it may still stay up for debate...
reasons?
I'd have Rafa over Sampras. He has more majors now and has won all 4 majors whereas Sampras never managed a French. Borg is also worth a shout - won 11 slams by 25 despite not participating in the Aussie.
Federer hasn't played in months. It's not really a given tbh. Murray's my favourite for Wimbledon again
American I'm guessing. Sampras doesn't really belong in the discussion though, in all honesty
Its not a head to head question. Its a matter who has won more tournaments. And even if you try to apply head to heads, its not particularly flattering to Rafa that he's been spanked three times by a 35 year old Federer this year.
And Federer ducked Nadal on clay.
Donna
I bet when he's 35/36, Nadal will manage(/duck) his schedule favourably too. Hell I say he starts doing it this year come the American hards.
Harsh. On.numbers he clearly does, Roland Garros being his obvious achille's heel.
