I think Querrey made Nadal look better while Nishikori besides being a stronger challenge than Querrey ran out of steam and was never really gonna beat Fed

I could argue Rafa’s win over Sam was a better win than Roger’s over Kei. Grass is Sam’s favorite surface and he’s had big results on it, and Rafa still dispatched him in 3, despite the big serve. Kei hates the grass and still took a set off Fed.

Nadal was -140 ish last night
And Fed a small dog
So Roger just laid down during the second set?
Fed up 2 sets to 1

Surprised to see Fed dominate Nadal, who he has had trouble with his entire career, like that.
Big for his legacy. Can't ever really be the "best" when you have such a bad head to head record vs. someone who is right behind you.
Unfortunately, it's the same story for him vs. Joker. Who should beat Fed again, and the line certainly agrees. Joker should move on and easily win the US Open, cementing himself as the greatest of all time.

But didn‘t most of Nadal‘s head-to-head wins come on clay? Misleading take imo.

Nadal still has a pretty significant edge head to head. If we are being honest there is an argument to be made in favor of all three. The media loves to slobber all over Federer and crown him as the best ever but you can just as easily argue for either of the other two.
The clay argument is a weak one in my opinion. Fact is all these players grow up competing on clay and hard courts and many don't ever play a match on grass until they show up at Wimbledon or one of the pre Wimbledon tournaments. Grass is the anomaly surface so it is not fair to discount clay or hard court wins.
Then don‘t discount grass or indoor hard court, either!

Djokovic may very well end up with the most grand slam wins when it is all said and done but winning on Sunday doesn't cement anything. It is a huge match for his legacy and a win moves him one step closer to most grand slam wins but a loss would really hurt in that pursuit. Djokovic can wind up winning the most majors but the crooked media will always put Federer above him because Djokovic is not as likeable.
I'm not betting this match but I think Federer will win. I hope I am wrong since I have always despised Federer and his obnoxious fan base which reminds me of Yankees and Patriots fans most of whom are bandwagon phonies.

I count every grand slam the same. Winning the Australian Open is every bit as prestigious to me as winning Wimbledon. I'm just bitter today because my guy Nadal lost lol.
Don‘t worry, you still have your Jets this season
I don‘t follow tennis enough to call me a fan of anyone btw I just root for all the Germans and German-speaking Swiss for reasons of connection to both countries

Why is Serena only -180 or so vs Halep. I just can't pull the trigger on someone I hate as much as I hate her but this seems too easy.

I believe Rafa has an edge on all surfaces. I could be wrong. Except on grass.
Indoor hard court and grass i think

If we were to throw out any surface it would be the indoor garbage that they play on but I guess it's not fair to do that either.

Amazing match.
Now that Joker has become the hands down GOAT of tennis. It's time to start thinking about where he is all-time athletes.
He's definitely moving into the top 10.
Roger serving with 2 match points and couldn't put away Nole.
Unreal.
Torch passing moment. Fed's first dozen or so titles were against guys who wouldn't be ranked today. Nadal's are majority on one surface. This guy has accumulated 16 vs. Fed and Rafa on all surfaces. 17 begins next month.

Weak point in your last paragraph considering who Fed and Joker‘s respective opponent was in the match before.

Slow down. Nole had a cake walk of a draw to get to the finals. Yes, today was an incredible match that he won, but he should have a much tougher path to the trophy in NY
