And I guess Borg had 5 FO-Wimbledon doubles consecutively....

Never said anything about the 8 RGs. Rafa is very obviously the greatest clay court player of all times. It's also not about Fed v/s Nadal. I am not interested in these petty player battles that fans keep fighting. I only responded from a factual viewpoint...Nadal bagging the Wimbledon record or Borg's consecutive RG-Wimb doubles looks unlikely, hence to say he will get ALL records is exaggeration. That is all. And I presume there is nothing offending about that? because Sampras didn't have all records and neither does Federer. No one player does.

And as for Borg, no, he won RG in 74, 75 and 81 but not Wimb and no RG in 76 and 77 but Wimb. So there were 'only' three years that he won both RG and Wimb. Since then, only Rafa has done it...in 2008 and 2010.

The term "many, if not all records" does not exactly mean "ALL records."!

It doesn't suggest exactly that but it indicates that that is likely. No one tennis player owns all records so it's not even a possibility. That is all I wanted to say...I know it's a somewhat pedantic objection, sorry.

watch out for another probable match in Davydenko vs Nadal in the 3rd round....Davydenko is the only player to have a better H2H record against Nadal....

Guess Nadal's line up to the finals look far tougher than the other top players...

I thought Fed & Ferrer were his bunnies!! How could Bull's line up be tougher?? He could beat those two guys with just one leg (like how he did Novak in RG '12)

L.Rosol lost to B.Becker in the first round of US Open 2013 and B.Becker is going to meet N.Djokovic in the 2nd round.

And yes Nadal did lose to Rosol in the Wimbledon 2012 but for any H2H record a minimum of 3 matches must be played between them. I hope you got the point. :) And Davydenko is the only player a have better H2H record against Nadal.

I got your point. Ok now defend this .. Domink Hrbaty has better H2H (3-1) against Nadal ;). before 2005 / after 2005 lam sollakoodathu :).

hmmm...I don't know or can defend if it is true..I am not trying to prove my point here...but trying to just put the facts here :) if the above is true...then yes Nadal doesn't have a better H2H against this player and yes he does have better H2H than any of the TOP 30-40 players in the ATP currently.

A good match from Federer. Still not 100% though. Needs to be at his best when against the likes of the top 3.

Love Nadal's approach on hard courts this year. He is consciously trying to attack and why not...he is such a good mover. He just needs to move forwards a bit rather than side to side all the time. I only see a Rosol-like unknown quantity upsetting him...not so much the Feds and Djokos. They all look a bit tired and jaded and Nadal is fresh and charged up. Would love to see him win the title and shut up all those "he is a clay court bully" haters.

It's true. Nothing to hate in that.

If it were really true, he would be unbeaten on clay rather than hard court this year. He has won Indian Wells, Montreal, Cincinnati and beaten Federer, Djoko, Del Potro among others en route.
