Another record

[AO13]

Maybe it's irrelevant, maybe it's impressive, but the fact is, Novak tied another record with his win over Aleksandar Kovačević in the first round of Roland Garros today. It's his 65th consecutive round 1 win on Grand Slams, tying Roger Federer at number one spot. If he wins the next round one match on Grand Slams, probably this year on Wimbledon if he stays healthy, he'll break the record.

Keep making those records EMW, keep making them.

You support Israel..lmao

Of course, as would any sane person. And I have big respect for Novak for visiting and loving Israel as well.

You support Israel..lmao

This is is a complex issue, but what really shocked me is when he said multiculturalism was cringe.

He also set a record today for most formal complaints lodged by the Kosovo Tennis Federation against one player for unilateral declaration of territory

He called for violence to stop....which is a good message.

Ironically his only R1 defeats are both at AO (2005, 2006)

Just ok stats not a quite record

 

[Tennfan123]

What a snooze.

When did Federer lose in R1? How did he have 65 in a row ? I thought it would be more.

He lost at R1 a bunch of times before he bloomed at 2003 WB

Rafa has lost R1 two times... same as Djok.

Federer lost R1 6 times.

Either way, it's a useless stat...

Rafa lost R1 as defending finalist in Wimbledon 2013 as a number 2 seed.
Rafa lost R1 in AO 2016 as a number 5 seed.

Both Nole and Fed lost when they were very young. They never lost after becoming a top 10 player.

Huge difference.

Like I said, it is a stat that doesn't matter...

But since you want to go into it, I'll point out the fact that you were completely wrong on four counts...

1:

Rafan your guy lost many times in R1

Only twice - FACT.

2:

Rafa lost R1 as defending finalist in Wimbledon 2013

Rafa did not make the Wimbledon final in 2012.

3.

as a number 2 seed.

He was #5 seed.

4.

They never lost after becoming a top 10 player.

Federer lost R1 in RG02 as #8 seed, WIM02 as #7 seed and RG03 as #5 seed... that's 3 times as a top 10 player Djok homeboy...

If you want to make the argument that Fed and Nole are more impressive because they never lost after becoming top 10 player (even though that's factually incorrect) and give them a pass for losing when younger...

Then I'll make the argument that Nadal is more impressive because as a younger player, he never succumbed to losing R1

My position will not change and since you can't even get your facts right, I'm going to leave it at that with you.

Nadal when younger never lost r1.
NADAL IS UNNATURAL LOOKING FOR 19 YEAR OLD.

You are saying Federer and Nadal suck in different ways, right?

I was wrong. I thought Rafa lost too many times in R1. It's just 2 times. It's not bad.

Just another testament of greatest sustained consistency & all round excellence

Ironically his only R1 defeats are both at AO (2005, 2006)

2006 was only odd, 2005 17yo qualifier who had trouble with money to even get there ran at physically much stronger future t'nt champion
