All fed has done is make it official now but it’s been clear for about a year now that he was finished with it and it’s been a few years since he really compete at his best. For most of his career he always made it look so effortless he was that good. He’s unfortunate that there was a certain Spaniard who was that little bit better than him over the course of a career. I know Djokovic is up there with Nadal and Fed on number of wins but for me it will always be the battle between Fed and Nadal that stands out, especially the Wimbledon finals of I think it was 07 and 08, 2 of the best finals as far as I’m concerned. Djokovic isn’t likeable, pretty sure he’s used PED’s through some of his comments and has just taken advantage of the injuries from Fed and Nadal.
Big loss for tennis.
Djokovic has a career winning record against both including 13-6 in finals vs Federer and 15-13 in finals vs Nadal. He is 6yrs younger than Federer which definitely helps, but he deserves as much credit as the other 2.
I do not remember a time where 3 of the all time greats played at the same time like this. They just completely dominated the sport. There was Sampras/Agassi but Andre missed a considerable amount of time and there was no 3rd equivalent.
As Federer retires and Nadal/Djokovic age out in the next few years, it'll be the Alcaraz show as he's only 19 and already the #1 with no one really close to him.
