Nadal ruined his own record in the last few years. His last 4 losses in slam were five set matches, and he had chances in them all. But every time he choked.

66.67% to 63% is a little shocking tbh.

iirc, he lost quite a few DC matches in 5 back in the day (Hewitt in 3 being referred to as one of the worst losses of his career again and again). Also the Nalby match at WTF 05.
Outrageous!

Well, there's one stat that seems very underrated on Djokovic's record.

Didn't know his 5th set record was that good. And it's not like he gets himself in 5th sets vs chumps either.
