I'm not really a tennis fan. It seems to me like everyone except Federer is mediocre in this generation of men's tennis. Remember before Federer got good and Sampras was newly retired? There was a serious void there. It's hard to say someone is the best ever when they have no competition.

ridicoulous statement by both of you.
Ill simulate Federer US open run without a first serve. Ill be going game by game.(Im not even taking into account federer is a clutch performer)

Round 1:
6-1, 6-1, 6-1
Federer won 58% of his points with second serve, do i really need to do any math? Its clear he would have won anyway since federer broke more than 50% of the time( I admit Im guilty of not taking into account stamina onto the future rounds)

Wasn't much of a void between Sampras and Federer. Sampras won the US Open in 2002 and Federer won Wimbledon in 2003, I think.

Federer also ended Sampras' 7 straight Wimbledon titles in 2001 or 2002, can't remember which.

How the eff does Federer win one, one, and one when he loses 42% of his service points?

That's points off the second serve. I'd assume the points he won off his first serve in that match was somewhere around 80-85%.

You're forgetting that he's the number 1 seed and he's playing a qualifier in the first round.
