RF - wielkoszlemowa 20-stka.

To jest oznaka strachu przed Nadalem i dlatego też nie skreślam go już przed ostatnią piłką, co zostało obśmiane podczas końcówki meczu z Kyrgiosem.

Pamiętam, ze kiedyś napisałeś, że "osiem asów dzieli Dimitrowa od..." i bardzo mi się to sformułowanie spodobało. A że Cilić rzeczywiście ładował gwoździe, to już nic nie poradzę

Pierwszy raz użyłem tego czegoś podczas finału Madrytu 2009, jeszcze na pun.pl.

Wtedy to z nerwów chodziłem po domu.

Tutaj był potencjał, ale troll spacyfikował:

To, że założyłeś taki temat, świadczy ewidentnie, iż masz większą obsesję na punkcie 18. Szlema niż Roger.

(1) 2003 Wimbledon – d. Mark Philippoussis 7-6(5), 6-2, 7-6(3)

he year was 2003 and the men’s tennis landscape was in flux. Longtime standard bearer Pete Sampras retired the previous August after winning the US Open, and it wasn’t yet clear who would assume the reins and lead the ATP World Tour going forward. Fans did not have to wait long for an answer to become apparent: Roger Federer. It was apropos that it all began at The Championships. The Swiss’ reign over SW19 began on Day One, gliding over the pristinely cut lawns and launching his slender frame into his one-handed backhand.

The 21-year-old budding star had already proven himself on Centre Court with a stunning fourth-round upset over seven-time champion Sampras two years earlier. He would go one step further in 2003, brushing aside the competition at the All England Club. He relinquished just one set on his way to a first Grand Slam championship title match. His opponent: fellow Wimbledon final debutant Mark Philippoussis. Philippoussis had endured a much tougher path to the final and proved no match for Federer, who claimed his first taste of Wimbledon glory after just one hour and 56 minutes of play. It was only the beginning.

(2) 2004 Australian Open – d. Marat Safin 7-6(3), 6-4, 6-2

A precocious young talent with nerves of steel, 22-year-old Federer did not have to wait long for his second success at the Grand Slam level. Just over six months later, on the other side of the world, the Basel native lifted the Norman Brookes Challenge Cup for the first time. Federer was taken to four sets in back-to-back matches by Lleyton Hewitt and David Nalbandian to reach the semi-finals, before turning on the style against Juan Carlos Ferrero to book a final meeting with Russia’s Marat Safin.

An in-form Safin did well to upset top seed Andy Roddick and Andre Agassi in five sets en route to the final, however, Federer once again showed his class on the grandest of stages. He would clinch the title after two hours and 15 minutes, as a Safin forehand flew beyond the baseline. As a result of winning the tournament, Federer became World No. 1 for the first time in his career. And he would remain at the pinnacle for years to come. It was a position he would hold for a record of 237 weeks, until 18 August 2008.

(3) 2004 Wimbledon – d. Andy Roddick 4-6, 7-5, 7-6(3), 6-4

Federer vs. Roddick in the Wimbledon final. It’s a phrase that conjures memories of epic encounters and it all got started on a brisk July afternoon in 2004. After a disappointing third-round loss to Gustavo Kuerten at Roland Garros, Federer cruised to his second Gerry Weber Open title in Halle and returned to the scene of his first Grand Slam triumph at the All England Club. Experiencing the role of defending Grand Slam champion for the first time, he dropped just one set – in the quarter-finals to former champion Lleyton Hewitt – en route to his second Wimbledon final.

Waiting for him there would be Andy Roddick. The big-serving American had just successfully defended his crown at The Queen’s Club, but faced a difficult test against his Swiss rival, having dropped five of their six previous meetings. The Wimbledon faithful were treated to a dream No. 1 vs. No. 2 championship clash and Roddick got off to a great start, becoming the first man to take a set off Federer in a Grand Slam final. But, ultimately, Federer would fight back, winning two tight sets before firing down a 12th ace out wide at championship point to lift the trophy and cement himself as the best player in the world.

(4) 2004 US Open – d. Lleyton Hewitt 6-0, 7-6(3), 6-0

Federer’s outstanding season would culminate with his first year-end No. 1 finish in the ATP Rankings. He secured the top spot with a third Grand Slam victory of the year at the US Open. Federer had never progressed beyond the Round of 16 when he entered Flushing Meadows in 2004, but made his way through to the last eight for the loss of just one set. In the quarter-finals, he met two-time champion Andre Agassi and the boisterous New York crowd would witness a thriller on Arthur Ashe Stadium. Agassi won four more points than Federer throughout the match, but fell to the World No. 1 in exactly three hours 6-3, 2-6, 7-5, 3-6, 6-3.

A convincing win over Tim Henman put Federer in his first US Open final where he would meet 2001 champion Lleyton Hewitt. Hewitt came into the final in scintillating form, winning all six of his previous matches in straight sets but had no answer for the brilliance of Federer in the championship. The Swiss has only registered four bagel (6-0) sets in his Grand Slam final career and two of them came against the Aussie in the 2004 US Open title match. Federer became the first player since Mats Wilander in 1988 to win three Grand Slam titles in one season, and also the first in the Open Era to triumph in his first four major finals.

"Not even in my wildest dreams would I have ever thought I would win the US Open," he said. "If you can handle New York, you can handle anything."

(5) 2005 Wimbledon – d. Andy Roddick 6-2, 7-6(2), 6-4

Federer would pick up where he left off to start 2005, reaching the Australian Open semi-finals and winning 36 of his next 37 matches. He would succumb to Rafael Nadal at Roland Garros, in his first attempt to capture the career Grand Slam, but once again dusted himself off, scoring a third consecutive Halle crown to head to SW19 confident and hungry for a first major title of 2005.

It would be a repeat of the 2004 final in SW19 as he took on Roddick once again. The American had come through two five-set battles to reach his second Wimbledon final but the same script would be written against his great rival in the championship. Federer raced out to a 6-2 first set and swiftly navigated his way through a tie-break in the second before a rain delay halted proceedings. But, much to Roddick’s dismay, it did not stop the Swiss’ momentum. The two-time defending champion would not be stopped, sealing a hat-trick of Wimbledon titles after one hour and 41 minutes. He joined Bjorn Borg and Pete Sampras as the only men to win three consecutive titles at the All England Club since World War II.

(6) 2005 US Open – d. Andre Agassi 6-3, 2-6, 7-6(1), 6-1

Federer’s U.S. summer concluded with a sentimental four-set victory over Agassi, in what would be the American legend’s last Grand Slam final appearance. The Swiss entered Flushing Meadows in strong form, having secured his first of seven titles at the Western & Southern Open in Cincinnati and he would carry the momentum all the way to the podium on Arthur Ashe Stadium.

Federer successfully retained his US Open crown and became the first man in the Open Era to complete the Wimbledon-US Open double in consecutive years. He overcame four-set challenges from Nicolas Kiefer in the fourth round and Lleyton Hewitt in the semi-finals to reach his sixth Grand Slam final, where he would down Agassi in four tight sets to take the title. It marked the end of their memorable rivalry that included 11 clashes over eight years. Federer’s sixth major triumph tied him with Boris Becker and idol Stefan Edberg on the all-time list. And, most impressively, he extended his win streak in tour-level finals to a stunning 24 straight, which still stands as an Open Era record today.

(7) 2006 Australian Open – d. Marcos Baghdatis 5-7, 7-5, 6-0, 6-2

Federer’s win streak to open his Grand Slam final career will go down as one of his greatest achievements: seven wins and zero losses from Wimbledon in 2003 to the 2006 Australian Open. That is, seven victories over six different opponents, including four former World No. 1s. The last piece of the streak came in Melbourne Park in ‘06, where Federer kicked off what would go down as his most successful season with a second Aussie Open crown. The Swiss would navigate his way through possibly his toughest final route to date, dropping four sets in his last three matches to reach the final.

Federer would square off against a young Cypriot playing the best tennis of his career. Baghdatis surged to a set and 2-0 advantage and held points for a double break lead, but was unable to maintain the momentum. From that position, Federer would win 14 of the next 16 games to claim the title and become the first man since Pete Sampras in 1994 to win three consecutive Grand Slam crowns. An emotional Federer would be seen at the trophy ceremony as Rod Laver presented the Swiss maestro with his seventh piece of Grand Slam silverware.
