In 2013 Federer's problems werent Nadal and Djokovic.His general form was so bad he lost to Tsonga in straight sets at the FO and in straight sets against Robredo at USO with that horrible loss against Stakhovsky at Wimbledon.That year was clearly plagued by a back injury as well as raquet change.2016 was much the same with that knee injury and I thought he did quite well in 2014 and 15 bar that US Open in 2014 and that freak run by Cilic.Maybe a bit unlucky not to win a slam in those 2 years considering he lost a few tight matches against Djokovic,but yeah.Those were Djokovic's years to dominate.I mean the guy was what 26-27-28 and Federer was 32-33-34,He will obviously need a bit of luck at that age to win a slam just like Djokovic will need it in the next few years.It depends on how and which circunstances that happened.
From Wimby12 to AO17 he didnt win a single slam. Not even a week at number 1. And never won WTF again.
Why this? Simple Rafa and Nole dominated those 5 years. Andy, Stan and Marin took a few when Rafa and Nole werent up to form.
So AO17 comes along Nole isnt to his usual level. Rafa seems good for the win. But New Federer manages to beat him. And Wins Wimby easly also.
AO18 Still no Nole and Rafa injured was a sure bet for Federer. After that Nole came back to level. Rafa also. Wgere was Federer? Just like those 5 years from 2012.
On the flip side its always better when you get more then you had. So its up to each one interpretation.
There, there - didn't take long for Fed haters to come out of their ruins.I would say his legacy since then has been harmed 40% and benefited 15% by all the events that have transpired
Yes, this is exemplified by the fact that all his loses in slams since 2017 were solely to Nadal and Djokovic while he was playing at his peak.It depends on how and which circunstances that happened.

what Do you mean? I was just trying to quantify my responseThere, there - didn't take long for Fed haters to come out of their ruins.
For you Fed ruined his legacy when he didn't retire after LC like you lied he would.
Great effort, mate.what Do you mean? I was just trying to quantify my response
