So hard to overcome that experience

They have hundreds of pressure matches under their belts and can manage their emotions better. The top 3 have big teams - coach, consultants, trainer, nutritionist, etc. It must be like trying to beat a machine. Obviously none of the young guys have the ruthlessness like we saw from Rafa as he finished off the last set and a half.

Sure, but every up and coming generation has to beat those things.

The Big 4 killed off the previous generation also

I’ll be inclined to say people blossom later if the current field

How is that any different than the era of Roddick & Hewitt?

Exactly, the weakest generation ever was the one just before Nadal and later

The big difference is that Federer was the same age as those guys.

I think you are just mad Nadal is going to pass Fed's slam total

Djokovic likely does pass both, besides that, that’s an unfair statement.

Also, with Nadal’s injury history there is no guarantee beyond next week.

Or, imagine how many fewer he would have if Nadal and Djoker were a few years
