Nadal is 2nd with Monte carlo, Hamburg and Tronto.

Murray 3rd with Cincinnati and Madrid.

Can we agree Djokovic has the best masters series result of anyone in 2008?
 
I guess...but Nadal won 2 slams, so I think that weighs him a bit more heavily.

Exactly the slams are what really matter. In the slams Nadal is the #1, Federer is close behind as the #2, Djokovic trailing well behind as the #3.

Nadal- win, win, semis, semis
Federer- win, final, final, semis
Djokovic- win, semis, semis, 2nd or 3rd round

Late last year and early this year I became a big Djoko fan. However, after exposure to his parents and the behaviour of the Serbian fans in the Rogers cup, I became more and more distracted by the attitude displayed by this guy and the people that surround him. His losing performance at the 2008 US Open pretty much sealed the deal for me.

He is a talented player, no doubt, but he has a lot of maturing to do before he earns back the fans he's managed to drive away in droves. He needs to leave his parents at home(permanently) and try and teach the Serbian fans that tennis is just a game, not a war.

^^ Kind of odd how he gained the most fans when having the most success and started losing fans after not winning big titles second half of the year.

I don't think there was that big a change in personality in that time span.

No, Nadal won 3 Masters Series, Djokovic and Murray won 2. Davydenko and Tsonga won 1. The Masters Cup is a different tournament with a different format and so are the Olympic Games. There are only 9 Masters Series.

You get a little shield which has the word "Masters" on it somewhere, it's more or less the same thing.

And lolz at the idiots going on about Nadal/Fed having better grand slam records than Djokovic this season. He said better MASTERS SERIES. ffs :roll:

He loses fans because of his attitude. You think he gained fans with his speech at the AO, whining about how the fans weren't cheering for him? He gained his fans last year, when he was new, funny, and free-spirited. Now he acts like a twit.

Not his fault the sore loser Frenchies in the crowd were giving him lip about his serve. Arrogant tossers.

I thought he was joking when he said that he knew they weren't rooting for him to win, didn't the crowd laugh when he said that? I can see what you mean though especially after the US Open match against Roddick, just saying that if he had been winning tournaments during that span these personality flaws would easily have been forgiven by some of these same "fans".

Why did you think its called "MASTERS CUP"? It's the most important of all masters series. Djokovic's 2 masters + 1 MC is >>better than Nadal's 3 masters.

Yes, but Djokovic won his two Masters titles, Master Cup and Australian Open by pure luck ... Please read the board and you'll understand ...

It´s called "Masters Cup" because it´s not a "Masters Series". Yes,the Masters Cup is bigger than a Masters Series and that´s because it´s not a Masters Series. It´s different. Search anywhere how many MS Federer has won, his MC titles will not be included because the MC is a different kind of tournament.

Yup, it's like play-off in basketball. No matter what you do during the regular season, the final victory is the one that counts :p






I'm joking. Read my signature. ;)

Race breakdown:

ATP Master Series
Nadal: 531 pts (no TMC)
Djokovic 416 (546 including 130 pts from TMC)
Murray: 383, including 60 from TMC

So no, Nadal has the best MS results.

But isn't it, I remember someone posted a thread earlier, if according to ranking points breakdown Nadal is the best hardcourt player in 2008? so its kind of flawed in a way he hasn't even won a hardcourt slam?

if you're using information solely from masters series events, then nadal would be the best hardcourt player of 2008. slams are a different picture.

I don't see the relevance in this...

and also, wouldn't you need his results in every AMS event compared to all the others players results?

I mean, I'm pretty sure Nadal won 3 AMS, and even if he didn't, I think over all he performed better than Novak.
