Federer`s legacy is about his results first of all, what he has achieved. And not about what other players did. Shame that sometimes people forget it.
Personally I`d be happy to see Fed winning RG-15 the most. And Nadal-Djokovic final isn`t on the second place of my list either, but if it happens - ok, I`d be just dreaming about great match and better player taking the crown in the end. :yeah:

So you are telling me... we should feel pity on Rafa and his troubles and root for him when Nole needs the slam to become a true great? Yeah ... I would not root for Rafa even if he was representing the fate of humanity against a dangerous alien species on a tennis court. I would not root for Rafa if him losing the match fired a planet buster weapon against our planet. I WOULD root for him if him winning cured cancer but that is not happening.

Nole winning more than 17 slams has nothing to do with RG 2015.
RG 2015 isn't even about CYGS.
Nole racking up another nine, ten, eleven slams - that'll be done by 2020.
But Nole winning the CYGS - do you really think his best bet is 2015?
I mean, Rafa is done. But is he doner than done?
The funny thing is that people still believe - maybe rightfully - that Rafa is the king of clay. But this will only be a memory in 2017, 2018, 2019. People will be like "What happened to Nadal?" while Nole will be the triple defending RG champion.
Stop focusing too much on 2015. Ya'll are talking about the new "weak era". Well, as long as Nole is NOT the ultimate favorite to win every tournament he enters - it's not a weak era.
But it's about to come.
And then, Fed's legacy will not be "endangered". It'll be history.

Neither, for Federer picking between Nadal and Djokovic is the same as picking between Hitler and Mussolini. He dislikes both. :lol:

Nadal would be further known as being amazing on clay, not on the other surfaces, and I don't see Novak winning more than 1 FO title after this one. (if he does win it) I'd rather see Novak win it because it would be nice to see him finally get over that mental block here and be able to take it all and get the career grand slam.
If either of them win RG...Fed's legacy will be endangered how?

Nobody could endanger Fed´s legacy. It´s not only numbers. It´s the quality of his Tennis. He brought a new dimension to the sport, which is evident not only when he has won, but also in most of his lost matches. No player has put the aesthetics, the variety and the finesse of his game in such a high priority.
Let Nadal and Djoko accumulate what they want. They will never discover -much less represent- the true spirit of Tennis.

I'm more worried about Murray catching up to Federer's GS count than Djokovic.
