We'll never know, but possibly third in the OE, after Rafa and Bjorn. Having written that, I'm not a big "what if" person.
Why wasn't Djokovic able to end Nadal's clay dominance?
So number 2 without Nadal around? Not a “what if” person either but in this case worth pondering
???
Is this what you came back to TTW for? Spam the same nonsense over and over?
He did last year.
Nole fans praise him for beating Nadal at every major clay event. Why wouldn't Djokovic have wins over Nadal at every major clay event? Actually, Nole should've dominated the major clay events from 2011-2016. He surely had the physical game to put more of a dent in Rafa's accumulation of RG titles.
Right. I guess he wouldn't be behind Rafa if Rafa wasn't around.
True. If Rafa wasn't around, then I guess he can't be behind him.
Novak was (and may remain) Nadal’s biggest challenge on clay but no one thinks that means Novak is at the same level on clay
the Murrovic semi was also one of the good ones
Thanks 2015/16 crapdal and 2017 disappearovic
Borg is actually saying "Damn, what a weak @SS clay era lol".
Nope. That never happened.
Borg is probably saying "Damn you came through and slayed"
It's not nonsense. It is just sad that some Djokovic fans try to act like the conditions haven't changed in RG and like it's still the same tournament. Ironically, these users are usually the first ones to complain about AO 2022 "asterisk".
It's called having your cake and eating it.Some Nadal fans are funny :
On one hand they say Nadal had a tough rival on Clay ( Djokovic ) and on other hand they refuse to acknowledge Djokovic's greatness on clay
We get it Egg Open next
Djokovic doesn't need the outside of Nadal argument as much only Fed does tbh
Nadal is the greatest on clay, the greatest shouldn't be that vulnerable to changes in conditions. It kind of goes against him being the greatest.
This is not clay anymore, it's like red hardcourt. Nadal feels more comfortable in AO than in these "clay" night sessions. You can't underrate such big changes, especially when you are 35-36 years old.
Nadal would lose a lot worse to Djokovic at AO in those night sessions, than at the RG night though, that is Djokovic's hunting ground. Nadal on clay always has a chance to get into every rally, and make things happen by moving Djokovic around with his forehand, we saw what happened in AO 2019 final in night session how Djokovic can literally take Nadal out of the match with his serving alone.
Nadal bagelled and almost destroyed Novak on the same court that too indoors .
Did the surface change ?
That was Nadal's most dominant showing over Djokovic at RG, and it happened in a night session indoors.Nadal bagelled and almost destroyed Novak on the same court that too indoors .
Such underrating of Nadal is actually disrespectful for Nadal . Is Nadal one dimensional who can only play in day time only ??
Are you really his fan ?
As if Djokovic any different. It's just the opposite for him. He was hardly relevant in RG after 2016, before the organizers decided to make these crazy changes. This is not being talked a lot because it's not his favorite surface. But imagine if the conditions in AO changed so much and became worse for him. There would be lots of complaining.Nadal bagelled and almost destroyed Novak on the same court that too indoors .

Yes. The type of clay changed, the balls changed, the time of the matches has changed...They changed everything. And somehow every change they made is perfect for Djokovic.
The clay didn't change. I know you try to spread this fake news since 2020, but no.
But he won AO on the slowest ones in 2011/2012 and on the fastest ones in 2020/2021
