Nadal and Emerson, only 10+ slam winners to never lose a slam final in straights

I find this peculiar.

Is this stat right? I read it on another forum.

You could always look it up, and Nadal's career is not yet over.

I would be surprised if Nadull makes any more finals outside FO.

Yes, God knows the last time he made a slam final outside the FO.
Probably in the 1800s or something.

Didn't Fed get wiped out in 3 sets by Nadal at the French once?

Yah. He won 4 games that day.

tbh he nearly won 5...

He shouldn't have aimed that high, 4 was lucky enough.

No he could have won a 5th IMHO.
Just a little more mental strength and he could have got there.

Is it all right not to get to a final and lose in three sets?

No nothing wrong with it. It's just embarrassing when the score reads 6-1,6-3,6-0

I wonder if Ken Rosewall still frets about it?

How respectable was the scoreline when Delpo owned the moonballer at flushing meadows? Although it was SF but equally embarassing.

He won 6 games there.

then Fed's loss was more embarassing.
