Federer and Nadal have won a Slam with ONE obscenely lopsided stat.
It's not the same stat for both.
What is the stat and @ which Slam?
First correct answer = Wall Of Fame listing.
Winner / Correct answer: Wednesday, 19th August, 2015.

Federer is 50 aces vs Roddick at Wimbledon
Posted by: Alpha | 08/13/2015 at 08:57 PM
Nadal made just 7 UEs in the 2008 FO final. Both these stats are off the charts.

Federer vs Roddick is the 2009 Wimbledon final
Posted by: Alpha | 08/13/2015 at 09:19 PM
They both embarrassed a multiple majors winner in a major final:
Federer d. Hewitt at USO 2004 6-0 7-6(3) 6-0
Nadal d. Federer at FO 2008 6-1 6-3 6-0
So, double bagel in the first instance, and breadstick/ bagel in the second. Against a Wall Of Famer. Not the same stat.

Huh, this involves actual facts ... Not my strong side :) I bet Gary Moser will win!

Hope it's a metaphysical bet only, because my specialty is CAREER TRENDS
[ i.e. - Muster ranked #1 but never winning a match at Wimbledon ]
as opposed to single-match aberrations and anomalies.
Or is that just a cop-out on my part? :->

If Alpha isn't right, I think TP best change HIS answers, cuz dem are a couple fine answers. I am proud to say I HAVE no specialties! (Except metaphysics)

DK was before me. I would second that . It was double bagel for Hewitt and a bagel + breadstick and Fed.
Hewitt was probably number 2 seed that time. Federer was #1 when he received the shellacking.

WINNER: ALPHA.
However, I had:
1. 50 aces.
2. Nadal offering 17 break point opps but getting broken just once against Federer @ 2007 FO final.
ALPHA
Do you recall the 7 UEs from memory or is there any black and white proof? 17 / 1 is documented.

Ya, 1/17 is also very good. Had been debating if to out that down, Problem is I saw it as Federer blowing 16 chances rather than Nadal saving 16. So more a Fed stat than a Nadal stat. My bias.
Here are the stats for Federer vs Nadal: https://matchstat.com/tennis/h2h-odds-bets/Rafael%20Nadal/Roger%20Federer
Then click on the stats for this particular match.
