So what does Nadal have over Djokovic

What failure?

Are you going to send a message to the admin? Just copied and pasted for you:

"Ultimatetennisstas has for example in their Bo5 stats they often leave out Bo5 matches OUTSIDE of Slams and Davis Cup. For example, they have Borg as the highest Bo5 match winning percentage at 89%. Borg has the highest GS winning pct Open era but not the overall highest winning BO5 percentage. In fact, both Nadal and Djokovic have higher Bo5 match percentages. The real numbers are:

Nadal 345-44 88.7% (highest open era)
Djokovic 364-54 87.0%
Borg 205-33 85.2% (non-ATP not included as Invitational and small draw tournaments even with those he goes to about 86.4% still lower than bull and joker)"

  4. Olympic Singles Gold - WTF
  5. Career Golden Slam - NCYS+WTF / all Slams + WTF +all M1000....twice...
  6. Most match wins at a major (112 - Record) -- SF/F at Majors
  7. 10 slam title defences (Joint-record w/Federer) -- how many of those are non-RG??
  8. Consecutive weeks in top 10 (900 and counting - Record) - weeks @ #1
  9. Leads Slam H2H - overall H2H or non clay slam H2H
  10. 10 consecutive seasons winning 1+ major (Record) - seasons with 3 slam wins

You do realize that most/all of those have equivalent where Novak is ahead of Nadal...see examples above, don't have time to waste to go through all of them...

They have Borg 3rd at 86.8% and 224-34, and include multiple DC matches in that calculation.

Where are you located? I'd like to meet and play a match and show you how you get embarrassed by someone twice your age that can run circles around you. I travel a lot, name the place, lets meet and record...

Using the algorithm Career- Best of 5, All matches, all levels, vs all this is their result I get which is obviously incorrect. BTW, pre-open should be removed as they aren't including their fall stats anyway.

The only thing that matters that Nadal has over Djokovic at this point is 1 more major, that's it. Even if Djokovic just matches it he's got pretty much everything over Nadal.
This is also true about our Rodger too :(

If you go to performance -> top performers and change best of any to best of 5, the numbers are different and correct. I'm not sure what you are doing. Lol. There have been some bugs on the site in the past where a few things were incorrect, and I think he fixed most of them, but doesn't mean there isn't still a bug causing wrong calculations on certain pages. There are no pre Open Era stats on UTS.

This is why that site shouldn't be treated as a Tennis Bible as some do, but it's still a useful tool, and they should also consider adding WTA stats as well. It sounds like you know the admin.

Yes it's just for Open Era comparisons, not all time, and I agree about the WTA. The admin has an account on here.
 
All that Nadal really has is the marginal slam record. If he loses that it’s over for him. Even the biggest Nadal fan would have to admit he’s 2nd best to Djokovic then. Next year will be crucial. Let’s see what happens.

I think he has more than a marginal slam record, but I agree if they are tied in slams then the argument for Djokovic becomes very strong. However, these are the records we have today. If the youngest generation as Alcaraz, Rune, Sinner, and FAA step-up their game then both of them may have only 1 or 2 more slams in them.

Actually any Federer fan can easily list 50 things that he has over BOTH Nadal and Djokovic.

Fair comment and let’s see what happens. I expect it will get more difficult for djokodal to fend the younger guys off in 2023.

Last time Nadal beat Djokovic off clay was '13 at UO. Since they played 11 times off clay, and Djokovic was 11-0. Djokovic would be glad to play again, off and on clay. No wonder Nadal doesn't want to play Djokovic at any Slam except RG. Nadal withdrew from '22 W before semifinal, for instance, and yet within a week, he was jet skiing!

On clay since, at least Djokovic had 2 victories at RG.

Yeah but they haven't played much in recent times... I think 3 total matches off clay since Nadal changed to Moya...

Djok got a lot of his wins against Nadal in 15-16... when Djok was down on form, he wasn't even good enough to reach Nadal...

So Rafa turned up 7 times even though he knew Djok was in better form... Djok only once at Madrid where he's expected to lose to him anyway...

The reason they haven't met much off clay can be attributed to Djok almost as much as it can to Nadal... Nadal made it deep to something like 15 big hc events since Moya... sf or f... only one where Djok reached him was AO19. Djok I think has made it deep (sf or f) in maybe one or two more than Nadal in that same time frame...

Yeah.. listen I'm not your mate. I don't know you, and judging by your attitude on here, I don't want to know you.

If I end up taking the ~20 hour flight to go to US again... playing a tennis match against you will be the last thing on my agenda.. that I can assure you.

I will give you the benefit of the doubt that you must be a decent enough player though... unlike some of the other trolls on here.

Here's a tip, don't take things on here personal. This thread was made really as a bit of a joke to mock another troll on here who probably hasn't picked up a racquet in his life... still that doesn't invalidate anyone's opinion.

No one said we were mates. I still want to whoop your Nadal…behind…just being nice and inviting you to let me know when you’re on this side.
not sure how you got that I am taking any of this personal. You’re assuming too many things…and you should not, including all emotions about your boy. Many did before and then had to leave this board ;)

They met only 11 times off clay, that wasn't Djok's fault. He certainly reached the end of off-clay tournaments much more often than Nadal. And yet the last 3 times they met at Slams were at RG!

I was watching a youtube video recently. It said Nadal withdrew from 16 (?) tournaments, only 2 were on clay!

I like the record that he qualified the most times consecutively for the YEC/ATP finals. Too bad he couldn‘t win it even once in that case.:unsure:

You said I got personal and attacked you... lmfao that's not an assumption...

Not my problem your little feelings got hurt... you make nonsensical statements, you get called out. Clay results are just as meaningful as hc and grass, whether you like it or not.

I've been here for long enough to know how this board operates... and I've seen enough of your whinging.
