Carlos is 16 years younger and won the first match they ever played. I think Carlos, being an ATG, should be leading this H2H by now.

Federer and Nadal never played each other at the US Open for that theory to be tested.

It's one of the reasons why the Federer v Nadal rivalry is not considered the very best one.

And Federer was losing to Nadal off clay in his "prime". Like Miami 2004 and Dubai 2005.

How can some deluded people maintain the USO QF was winnable for Fritz ? It didn't even go to 5 sets...

These embarrassing flops to Pushak are the primary reason why Alcaraz is considered inconsistent.

This and also his pathetic performance against one-legged Nadal at 2022 Wimbledon kinda lower my opinion on Fritz forever

I also recall Fritz losing against a compromised and injured Djokovic at the Aussie Open.

Players like Fritz would've frequently eaten bagels from Big 3 if they played in the era like 10-15 years ago.

The now #4 losing to a 38-year Djokovic at his best slam whilst Sincaraz both beat him comfortably is a prime indicator of how weak this era is outside of those two.

I do not completely agree. 2025 is a stronger year than the very first years of the 2020s. Fritz in the top 5 is a massive improvement over someone like Ruud (as much as I am fan and believe he gets too much hate) who in a tougher era would have been in the lower spots of the top ten at the very best.
