They won at least 2 slams for 10/11 years, only year missing is 2009 with only 1 slam.
They won 4 or more masters for 9/11 years, only years missing is 2010 and 2017.

In 2010-12, they won 9 consecutive slams.
In 2013-14, they won 9 consecutive masters, that's 9/9 never done before (Nadal won 4 Djokovic 5).

What an absolute domination these 2 have created.

Kings.

 

[StannisTheMannis]

And for the vast majority of that time they had no daughters between them!

 

[CYGS]

Also winning h2h against Fedr

 

[Hamnavoe]

War is over Djokodal United

Won 5/10 WTFs

 

[abmk]

djokovic won 1 slam combined in 3 years from 2008-2010 and he was part of a duopoly then ?

similarly Nadal made 0 slam semis in 2015-2016. he was part of a duopoly then ?
djoko with his results from Wim 16 to RG 18 was part of a duopoly ?

no respect for a certain guy who won 8 slams, 2 YECs, many masters , was YE#1 once and YE#2 multiple times (arguably best player in another year as well) ?

 

[nolefam_2024]

War is over Djokodal United

TBH Nadal is Djokovic's biggest rival. War is never over with Rafa. We can make peace with Roger, not Rafa.

 

[EloQuent]

Federer won 8 slams in an era that wasn't even his. Wow.

Now is Rafa, but Fedr is next.

 

[nolefam_2024]

Similar analysis for Federer-Nadal for 11 consecutive years from 2004 to 2015.

Won 30/44 slams.
Won 48/99 masters 1000s
Won 6/11 WTFs
Ranked YE no1 for 7/11 years.

They won at least 2 slams for 8/11 years, only year missing is 2011, 2014, 2015.
They won 4 or more masters for 7/11 years, only years missing are 2008,2011,2014,2015

In 2005-2007, they won 11 consecutive slams.
In 2005, they won 8/9 masters 1000.

Federer won 16 slams, Nadal won 14
Federer won 21 masters and 6 WTFs, Nadal won 27 masters.


Fedal and Rafole are very equally dominant (especially when Novak has chance to win 6th WTF and 1 of them will be YE no1 in 2018).
But Fedal was more concentrated while Rafole were more spread out.

What?

 

[Nadal_Django]

Amazing dominance by Nadal and Djokovic in the past 10 years.

 

[nolefam_2024]

What?

That's Hamburg changed to Madrid I think. So probably Hamburg 2005.

 

[NoleFam]

Rafa and Novak almost swept all the Masters in 2013 and same to Roger and Rafa in 2005. Outstanding.

Just like Fedal in 2005.

 

[tennisaddict]

War is over . Djokodal United . They locked their spot for joint place behind Fed

 

[NoleFam]

Just like Fedal in 2005.

Yea you were too quick with the reply.

 

[mike danny]

As a duo Fedal IMO were more prominent than Djokodal.

They were no.1 and no.2 every year from 2005 to 2010. That's 6 straight years of being in the top 2. They also won the vast majority of majors in that period. They won 21 of the 24 majors contested during that 6 year period.

Djokodal have never had consecutive years as top 2 players and have never dominated this extensively as a duo.

Objectively, Fedal is the better duo.

I don't think the OP is disputing that. He is just saying for the past 10 years, Djokodal have been more prominent and dominant. It doesn't always have to be about who was better since we know Fedal together had a more concentrated domination.

 

[mike danny]

For shorter period yes.

6 years is a short period?

Even since 2008, Djokodal haven't been the dynamic duo. Only 3 finishes in the top 2, including this year, in 11 years. And when you also factor in that in 2008-2010 Djokovic was behind Fedal and not really Rafa's main rival and in 2015-2016 Rafa was irrelevant, you get the full picture.

Well since 2008, who has been the dynamic duo?

 

[Deleted member 743561]

Slightly sad when the best counter to Fed's GOAThood is a tag-team effort.

 

[nolefam_2024]

Fed and Rafa have been more dominant in shorter period but Djokovic and Nadal have been more dominant over long period.

Sometimes, one of them got down, because of injuries, but this is truly their era. When Fed faced them in this era, he is 5-13 vs them.

To be frank, since 2011 for the last 8 years, this has been the Djokovic era. He has just been kind enough to share the spotlight with two great legends.

Losing h2h against 2 main rivals would cheer you up.

[VoodooChild24]

I was lucky to have been able to watch both of them courtside the USOpen this year. I know they both have different games or style but one thing I deduced watching them close is that they both play alike. Great defenders that can turn defense into offense quick. They will out rally the opponent and make you play one more ball and make you error and frustrated.

No wonder they have won most of the tourneys in the last years.

 

[tennisaddict]

So succinct, yet so much truth. B-U-R-N !!!!

Yes, I agree.

But they haven't consistently been prominent. They weren't in 2008-2010 and 2015-2016.

 

[tennisaddict]

Yes, I agree.

But they haven't consistently been prominent. They weren't in 2008-2010 and 2015-2016.

But that is only 5 years out of the 10 year period.

 

[Steve0904]

Since 2010 or so is more accurate. I'd accept that, but since 2008 is stretching it. Federer was #1 in 2009 with the most slams.

 

[NoleFam]

Yes, I agree.

But they haven't consistently been prominent. They weren't in 2008-2010 and 2015-2016.

But they've won 14 Slams each since 2008. They may not have been dominating at the same time the entire time but they have the most achievements in the last 10 years. There's no denying that.

 

[abmk]

Yes, I agree.

But they haven't consistently been prominent. They weren't in 2008-2010 and 2015-2016.

not in 2017-first half of 2018 either.

 

[abmk]

Since 2010 or so is more accurate. I'd accept that, but since 2008 is stretching it. Federer was #1 in 2009 with the most slams.

2010 was djokovic's worst year from 2007-2016.

2011 onwards is what should be acceptable IMO.

 

[Northern]

Djokovic is so boring though. Djokoray have the duopoly of boredom for sure. ATG yawn-inducing-fests.

 

[Deleted member 307496]

Nah it was Hamburg 2006, the one Robredo won.

Not surprising given they aren't Federer's generation... Against his own generation Federer was absolutely flawless. Actually, against Andy Murray Federer was about as brutal as he was to his own generation suggesting he could hang with Nadal and Djokovic peak for peak. Which is a given of course I'm sure...

 

[upchuck]

Djokovic is the player of the decade, a distinction he all but wrapped up by winning the US Open this year. That's more representative of what's taken place in the recent history of the sport than "Djokodal duopoly since 2008" imo.

 

[titoelcolombiano]

What great champions of the game - throw in Federer and we have been spoilt over the last 15 years.

 

[metsman]

14 slams in 10 years, very cute

Anyways, don't get why you picked 08 as the start besides to make it a round number of 10 years. 10-16 (10 RG to 16 RG) is really the Djokodal period even if Nadal was MIA the last couple years of that and Djokovic for the first. 19 of the 28. 10 RG-16 RG, 6 years exactly we have 19 of the 25.

 

[Azure]

So essentially its Rafa who is part of the two duopoly eras. I like that

 

[Indigo]

Is this Roger Federer or Arnold Schwarzenegger?

 

[True Fanerer]

Is this Roger Federer or Arnold Schwarzenegger?

It's the look of a man who knows he should've won the UO. Positive winner/UE ratio compared to Djokovic in the negative, two points difference for the entire match, 19 blown BP, better first serve stats. Truly a gift from the GOAT.

 

[Sentinel]

Federer won 8 slams in an era that wasn't even his. Wow.

The combined Djokodal era was weak ... are you implying ????

 

[Nadal_Django]

Majority of the Federers slams in this period of time (2008-2018) happened when Nadal or Djokovic were having some personal issues or being injured, Rafa (2009-2010) and Djoker (2017-2018)...

Nadal went through a drought period too that must mean 2015 is the strongest year of all time.
