How does Nadal "own" Djokovic in slams?
Barring Djokovic's 2 withdrawals when he was 18-19yo, the h2h is 8-7. (0-2, 6-2, 0-2, 2-1)
8-7 in completed matches isn't exactly "owning" lol.
Especially when more than 50% of these 8-7 were on Nadal's best slam. Djokovic has gone deep every year in RG since 2006 (only exception: 3rd round in 2009) and lost 6x against him. In comparison, Nadal has lost many times early in AO and Wimbledon. He has missed a huge number of opportunities to play Djokovic in AO/Wimbledon finals and semifinals. FI who would've won potential djokodal australian open finals in 2020 and 2021? Wimbledon 2019?
Nadal has 1 more USOpen and 1 more Canada Open but he is owned on every other HC big events.
