𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗙𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗿'𝘀 𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗸 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗪𝗧𝗙𝟬𝟯-𝗪𝗧𝗙𝟬𝟳: Looking at it through his opponents’s tennis. Genius can elevate the ordinary. It can also make the best look ordinary. Federer’s play during his peak did the latter. A thread.

NB: The title of this & the other two tables should more accurately be – "Performance vs 20 y.o ≤ slam winners ≤ 30 y.o.

20-30 y.o vs 20-30 y.o SWs Fed (01-11) Slams: 34-12 (74%)✅ Bof5s: 39-16 (71%)✅ Bof3s: 51-25 (67%)✅ Weeks at #1: 285✅ YE #1: 5 times✅ Djo (07-17) Slams: 26-19 (58%)❌ Bof5s: 26-21 (55%)❌ Bof3s: 58-41 (59%)❌ Weeks at #1: 223❌ YE #1: 4 times❌ Fed's achievements >> /2

Below is a VIDEO of 29.7-30.9 y.o Fed reaching MPs vs peak Djo in slams on EVERY surface. To me, that is proper proof that PEAK Fed (2004-07) would WALLOP peak Djo. We can ALSO use stats to prove that Fed's CAREER ACHIEVEMENTS >> than ALL of Djo's "main" achievements. A 🧵.

To summarize – Fed did MUCH BETTER than Djo vs the best at their best. Fed is the GREATER PLAYER than Djo. Djo faced the 90s-born bozos & amassed his hollow "records". Conclusion: Fed >>> Djo + Fed is tennis's 👑. QED. /END

TOTAL as 20-39 y.o vs 20-30 y.o SWs Fed (01-21) Slams: 44-25 (64%)✅ Bof5s: 49-29 (63%)✅ Bof3s: 77-47 (62%)✅ Weeks at #1: 310❌ YE #1: 5 times❌ Djo Slams: 31-28 (53%)❌ Bof5s: 31-30 (51%)❌ Bof3s: 66-49 (57%)❌ Weeks at #1: 428✅ YE #1: 8 times✅ Fed's achievements >> /6

@tryambok What I meant by "to miss Fed" was that Djo would've played Fed if had lived up to his seeding. E.g. Djo was #4 at Wim09 & was to meet Fed in the SF, but lost to Haas in the QF. In fact, in 5 of the 6 cases noted, he lost JUST ONE match before his scheduled meeting with Fed.

@incontextfed Bro your content are always great and has lots for useful data but sometimes really difficult to understand. Plz try to make it little simple sothat it reaches more fans. I did not understand “To miss Fed” thing. Plz help me understand.

To MEET Djo, 30-37 y.o Fed BEAT Tson at USO11 delPo at RG12 Mur at Wim15 Stan at USO15 Berd at AO16 Rafa at Wim19 To MISS Fed, 21-30 y.o Djo LOST to Saf at Wim08 ARod at AO09 Haas at Wim09 Tson at AO10 Berd at Wim17 Chung at AO18 It's why Fed commands SO much more respect. 🫡

Next-gen slam winners beaten by Fed: Murray (2x), Stan (2x), Cilic Rafa: Medvedev 🤣 Djo: Alcaraz (who cramped 😭) Note that EACH of Fed, Rafa, & Djo were ~31 y.o at their respective "starting" slams.

In slams vs NEXT-GEN slam winners Fed: USO12-Wim16 Wins: 5 ✅ Slams won: 0/15 Rafa: RG17-RG22 Wins: 1 Slams won: 8/17 Djo: Wim18-USO23 Wins: 1 Slams won: 12/19 Fed → 5 wins → 0 slams Rafole → 2 wins → 20 slams And we "debate" who the greatest is. 😂😭🤣

From match #1001-#1400, how many wins did the 'Big 3' have vs slam winners? Fed: 43 Rafa: 20 Djo: 24 Slams won during this period Fed: 4 Rafa: 8 Djo: 10 THIS is why most people STILL call Fed the GOAT. They understand the immensity of his ACHIEVEMENTS vs the best.

In 2019, 38 y.o Fed WALLOPED Djo at both Wim & the WTF. Wim: 51.7% TPW, DR = 1.14 WTF: 60.4% TPW, DR = 2.08 AFTER these THRASHINGS, Djo won Wimby & the WTF twice each...which apparently makes him the 'GOAT'. 😭😂🤣 P.S: Berry, Kyrg, & Ruud in 3 of those 4 finals. 😭💪🏾😭

Before Nadal, there was Coria. The diminutive Argentine was on a 31-match-winning-streak on clay when he faced Fed in the Hamburg 2004 final. The Maestro did what ONLY the Maestro will ever be able to. Look at Fed's footwork! Look at his style! Look at his shotmaking! 😍

After USO 2011 – Fed went 88-12 until the last match of 2012, which was match #1076. 21/100 matches were vs slam winners ≤ 30 y.o! During this period, Fed returned to world #1 🔥 won Wimby was 13-8 vs SWs beat Hew, ARod, Rafa, Mur, Djo, delPo Tennis's ONLY GENIUS.👑🙏🏾

In slam finals Fed vs (Saf+ARod+Hew+Gonzo): 𝟳-𝟬 ✅ Djo vs (Mur+Stan): 5-4 ❌ Djo MAKES his peers multi-slammers & it's a "strong era". Fed STOPS his peers from winning slams & it's a "weak era". 😂😭🤣 Note: vs (Mur+Stan) in slams Fed: 𝟭𝟮-𝟮 ✅ Djo: 13-6 ❌

It's interesting to see how the 'Big 3' did outside of their "favourite" slam. And it's NO SURPRISE to see Fed emerge on top – EASILY. W-L in slam FINALS minus their winningest slam Fed: 12-7 (63%) ✅ Djo: 14-13 (52%) Rafa: 8-8 (50%) Federer the Emperor. 👑

One of Fed's less-appreciated shots is his lob. Notice his tendency to do a little jump as he hit those SOARING FH lobs. I love it. 😍 And then there's his usual variety – even in lobs! 🙏🏾 Enjoy! 😀 P.S: Arranged chronologically & bookended by two of his most ICONIC lobs.
