He was the director of Madrid Open until recently and may have still some tennis-related businesses in Spain, so I am not sure how honest this may be.

Vamos.

Djoker is close. Nadal only has 2 slams on him but Djoker has damn near everything else of importance and better all surface dominance e . All it takes one little momentum shift and Nadal will quickly find himself in 2nd place

now whether djokovic does they remains to be seen as the tank is looking pretty empty for him

It's not just about number of slams. Before Djokovic's sudden conversion in 2011 and when Rafa's frequent injuries started in the middle of 2012, he was way ahead in his h2h against Federer and Djokovic even on hard court.

wonderful

 

[TearTheRoofOff]

In summary: 22 > 20, bud.

 

[Winner]

Nadal only has 2 slams on him but Djoker has damn near everything else of importance and better all surface dominance e

Nadal has won 8 slams on less preferred surfaces. (beating Fedovic for 4 of them).

Djoker has won 8 slams on less preferred surfaces. (beating Fedal for 6 of them).

Before someone thinks "yeah Nadal has 3 such slams per year and Nole only 2": yes, that's correct, and that also means Djoker has 2 slams on his best courts while Nadal has only 1.

 

[Sentinel]

LOL.

Djokovic is very much at the same level as Nadal.

Tirac, like Nastase, were always jerks! He is right about Nadal on clay but not on hard or grass courts. Rafa has not beat Federer off clay since 16, and his record vs Novak is even worse.

 

[The Fedfather]

But wasn't Federer the establishment darling?

 

[Rafedovic]

lol

‘No. 1 forever!’

In reality for 209 weeks. Almost.

In reality for 209 weeks. Almost.

As everyone knows weeks at #1 is not all its cracked up to be.

 

[Tenacity]

As everyone knows weeks at #1 is not all its cracked up to be.

Ofc not, Nadal doesn't hold that record, not even close.

You'd sing different song otherwise

Actually the full interview is even more emphatic:


"Si a Roger le gusta el tenis puede pasárselo bien con 40 años, pero no creo que tenga la capacidad de ser realmente competitivo. Incluso, dirá que corre el peligro de hacer el ridículo"


"If Roger likes tennis he can enjoy himself at age 40 but I don't think he has the capacity to really be competitive. I'd even say he runs the risk of appearing ridiculous"

And about Djokovic, Tiriac doesn't hold back:



Novak Djokovic: "Ha cometido un error fatal con el asunto de la vacuna, dañando mucho su imagen. Quiere ser una personalidad en el tenis como lo fueron en su momento McEnroe o Nastase, pero no tiene el carisma necesario para ello", comenta un Tiriac que sentencia la ecuación diciendo que nunca podrá estar a la altura de Rafa, ni como tenista ni como persona...


"Djokovic commited a fatal error with the vaccine affair, badly damaging his image. He wants to be a tennis personality like McEnroe or Nastase were but he doesn't have the necessary charisma for it" comments Tiriac who also states that Djokovic can never reach Rafa's heights, neither as a tennisman nor as a person...

You broke the chain. That's the most dishonest thing.

 

[helterskelter]

How insulting of Tiriac even to compare Bull to such inadequate figures! As absurd as writing, "Yeovil are no match for Real Madrid." Why state such an obvious fact rather than sticking to comparisons that can be argued either way?

 

[Aretium]

Nadal fans since the dawn of time:
Rafa is better than fed cuz h2h

Nadal beaten Novak 2 times off clay since 10 years
...........

 

[thrust]

But wasn't Federer the establishment darling?

Yes he WAS!

LOL! Nastase is the biggest scumbag I ever knew of in watching tennis for nearly 70 years. Tirac was nearly as bad. McEnroe was not much better than the Roumanians.

My sentiments exactly.

 

[TheNachoMan]

"I am not arrogant", you said.

Djokovic fans are known as the robots here, but Nadal fans seem to follow the all too familiar pattern of wingposting and “22 > 20, bud”

 

[GabeT]

On clay. Sure

outside of clay? It’s Nadal who isn’t on Novak’s or Fed’s level

 

[TearTheRoofOff]

Let the coin flipping continue.

 

[GabeT]

 

[duaneeo]

I'll add my two cents:

lol

 

[Arak]

I’m sure Nadal himself is very ashamed and embarrassed by his idiotic fans on TTW. He will soon issue a statement to distance himself from whatever is said about him on TTW.

 

[octobrina10]

He was the director of Madrid Open until recently and may have still some tennis-related businesses in Spain, so I am not sure how honest this may be.

Ion Tiriac was the owner of the Madrid Masters, but he sold it to IMG last year:

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Well America and Australia have made sure Djokovic will never be at nadals level. They have screwed Djokovic royally and if I was him I’d stick my 2 fingers up at them and retire. They don’t deserve all the revenue and sponsors he brings to the game if they treat him like this. For a virus that’s not even a big thing anymore

 

[kishnabe]

How can you number 1 and not win WTF/YEC?
