Yeah. It is really a fantastic achievement. I did expect a tough match for Federer against Murray considering his record against him but Murray surrendered rather tamely. He was also clearly not at his best and Federer too did not play his best, but some of the magic shots he played tilted the results in favour of him. I also request you not to belittle Nadal as he is a wonderful player with powerful temperament not to be seen in many Tennis players. I am sure Nadal has a good future and he will definitely shine. Let us not take sides and enjoy the game of Tennis. Nonetheless the matter is already settled with Federer emerging the Greatest of them all. There can never be an iota of doubt about it even if he loses all matches right from here.

Nadal is also good. He is best clay court player of all time. He will win at least 2-3 GS more.

Rafa has still got a lot to prove himself. His problem is that he peaked too early in his career and he is now unable to maintain that consistency level losing to even lower ranked players. As regards Federer, he has proved himself to be the Greatest winning 15 Grand Slams and the Masters Cup four times. His 23 consecutive final streak in Grand slam is simply invincible, mind blogging and is never to be matched. He is also a maestro who plays tennis with effortless ease unlike Nadal. The fact that he had little injuries in his career demonstrates this.

By this, I am not saying that Rafa is anyway a inferior player. He plays swash buckling tennis and has a good record considering his young age. Without doubt, he is the greatest Clay court player that the Tennis World has seen in the current era. However, his form of late has been rather wayward and he is losing to lower ranked players. It is not the same Rafa we are seeing today and something is missing in his Tennis. He hits ball too short for opponents to hit freely and his serve is also weak to be attacked easily by opponents. Above all, the fighting spirit is also missing. Hope that he returns to his form soon for the good of Tennis.

Nadal will get tough competition to Djokovic, Murray and D.Potro in near future. It's not easy for him to dominate like Federer. I will say it's almost impossible for any player!

Yeah, I do agree with you. The Federer dominance is unlikely to be repeated. He is unique and is without doubt the greatest Tennis Player to ever have graced the Earth. Whether he performs in future does not matter a weebit as his records speak for themselves.
