Never seen the type of dominance Djokovic has show in his last 8 matches on hard vs. Nadal. It’s true thet Nadal isn’t the same Nadal he has been, but the level of dominance has been shocking. We hear about Nadal’s dominance over Federer on clay, but those matches save two have all been more competitive than Djoko vs Nadal on hard since 2013 USO.
On hard in 8 matches, Nadal hasn’t won a set but the sets record doesn’t even accurately describe how dominant Djoko has been in these matches.
2019, AO: 2.40 Dominance Ratio
2016, IW: 1.43 (closest match; to give you an idea of how lopsided a 1.43 D/R is, Nadal’s CAREER dominance ratio over Gasquet and Monfils is 1.42.
2016, Doha: 2.35
2015, WTF: 1.91
2015, Beijing: 1.50
2014, Miami: 1.97
2013, WTF: 1.43 (closest match)
2013, Beijing: 2.81
2 out of 9 break points won...in 8 matches and 17 sets.
Never seen dominance like this TBH.
Here’s Nadal’s D/R over Federer in clay matches
2013 Rome, 1.92
2011 RG, 1.08
2011 Madrid, 1.25
2010 Madrid, 1.03
2009 Madrid, 1.00
2008 RG, 1.91
2008 Hamburg, 1.10
2008 MC, 1.26
2007 RG, 1.14
2007 Hamburg, .75
2007 MC, 1.35
2006 RG, 1.20
2006 Rome, .98
2006 MC, 1.12
2005 RG, 1.11
Federer was more competitive on clay than Nadal has been over these 8 matches on hard. Now we also have Nadal with impressive victories over Djoko on hard in 2010 and 2013, but this stretch has been brutal.
Federer has been more dominant indoor against Nadal than Nadal has been on clay vs. Federer:
2015 Basel, 1.19
2013 WTF, .66
2011 WTF, 2.68
2010 WTF, 1.72
2007 WTF, 1.79
2006 WTF, 1.37
