8 Grand Slams Won, 1 Final, 2 SFs, 1 3rd Round
34 Titles out of 39 finals

Nadal - 2008-2010
219-35 Overall
64-5 in Grand Slams
6 Grand Slams Won, 3 SFs, 1 QF, 1 4th Round

Anyone else think Djokovic could definately have a better three year run than Nadal?

I think he will equal Nadal, actually.

 

[Towser83]

win loss wise he has to go something like 62-7 to better nadal which is possible. I look at slams being more important, to better Nadal he has to have a 3 slam year next year, which is again possible but I'm not counting on that. My best bet is he wins 2 to equal the 6 won by nadal. But it could be less. If Murray gets one of the hard court slams then Djokovic needs the other one and RG really (I don't think he'll win Wimbledon)

He can go 71-16 and still do better than Nadal...

McEnroeisanartist should edit his post to make it clearer that Djokovic's three year run is ongoing.

Since he did much worse in 2012 when his key rival from 2011 was out for half the year - but still managed to pick up zero majors while that player was off I'd hazard a guess that he wont by recreating his 2011 success in 2013 - especially with Murray now playing with career-peak form starting to show through.

yeah i suck at working out percentages :lol:

I wonder how much of Ralph's success is dependent on clay in those years. Guessing 75% or more? :lol:

 

[90's Clay]

A bit mis leading.. Rafa won 3 straight slams on 3 different surfaces.. Something NEITHER the other two could do.

Rafa also had to go up against Fed, Nole, and Murray for many of his slams. (especially 2011 where he had to meet up with a Peak Nole at what seemed like every tournament final)

Nole vice versa.

Fed went up against much inferior competition at the time from 04-06.. Outside of a young Nadal who was still honing his craft outside of clay, Fed's trips to finals in many of the tournaments were "easier " to say the least compared to the other two guys

If All Nadal had to worry about (outside of injury) from 2008-end 2011 was a Hewitt, Roddick, Baghaditis, 35 year old Agassi on his last leg among others, imagine how many titles he would have racked up

Djokovic will overtake the cheater no problem. Even with Nadulls unreal luck.

You seem more like a Roger hater than a Sampras fan. Have you forgotten rafa has won slams against Berdych and freaking puerta?
You are also forgetting that against that weak field that you say federer played, rafa kept losing in early rounds. Also don't dismiss the likes of Roddick and Hewitt (who by the way bossed sampras), both are slam winners whose careers, who could have won a couple more if it wasn't by the raise of Federer, who eclipsed their careers.

Oh look another thread where 90's clay discredits Federer's dominance. SHOCKING.
