Does anyone see Novak winning 3 French Open finals vs Rafa ?

[terribleIVAN]

I don't see Novak winning 3 finals vs Rafa at RG, contrary to what he did vs Fed at W.

Maybe 1, or max 2.

Which proves Rafa was better at dominating his slam than Fed his.

I dunno, mate. 12 French Opens might've already sealed the debate.

Did we really need a thread for this? This was never a topic of debate. Gosh we need Montreal to hurry up don’t we

I disagree

Okay.

u wot m8?

 

[StrongRule]

Well, I don't know. Nadal is not even close to being as great as he used to be during his prime on clay. If he declines a bit more in the following years then anything is possible.

Raw full ma oh!

For that we need 3 more Rafole finals at rg, even if that happens djokovic needs to win all of them and rafa is yet to lose one there so all in all this wishful thinking at its best sort of thread.

If RG had roof for last 7 years like Wimbledon does it would be a fair question. IMO, no one would be asking it since Nadal would already sit on several RG titles less.

Lol you realize that the roof at Wimbledon is an argument that weakens Fred's dominance claim right? Had it not come to the rescue in 2012 Rooferer may have never won #7.
Not sure any previous GOAT has had actual machinery installed to make them even more dominant at their venue, yet Rooferer still trails Vamos.

Fed doesn't have "his one Slam"
He has "his three Slams"

 

[The Blond Blur]

I don't see anyone in the history of the game beating Rafa in 3 let alone 2 RG finals.

Kind of like saying "the earth is round" and expecting people to fall all over themselves in shock.

Nonsense. Roof allows for matches to happen when weather would otherwise make a mess of the tournament. Allows fair play. Djokovic lost to Federer 2012 because he didn't play good enough. He's very good himself indoors as everyone knows.

All i'm saying is since Fed is the proclaimed GOAT, that means in order to conform to the natural order of things, both Rafa and Novak must obligatorily meet in the future in 3 RG finals, with Rafa losing all of them, thus denying him the argument of 3 lost W finals by Fed that could contradict his GOAT status.


No ?

In an alternate universe it probably did happen

No ?

Is that even english

 

[SaintPetros]

They all play the same, so really, they're his one slam.

No ?

The chances of them meeting in 3 more RG finals is very remote.
They both would still have to remain the 2 top seeds to guarantee it, but as we saw this year, Nole did not make the final.
As much as it pains me to admit it, Djoker's chances of winning there again are fading.
Of course Nadal dominates his Slam better than anyone else, but that just proves how good he is at one event and surface.
