That's where some Nolefams and Novak differ. I would much prefer Djokovic beating Nadal at RG than actually winning RG.I've had not so much success against him in our H2H in Roland-Garros - I've managed to beat him twice, but I had to leave my heart and my guts out on the court to achieve that' I know how hard it is to play him anywhere around the world, but especially here
First time I have seen fear. Sad. Disappointed.
I have not seen fear that you and others are trying to project
Sounds honest echoing this Rafa commentNovak acknowledging his tribal chief
Novak acknowledging his tribal chief
Greatest era in tennis historySounds honest echoing this Rafa comment
The other comment he made saying Rafa's announcement made him feel a part of him was leaving with him also felt an echo of what Rafa said about Fed leaving
3 legends playing at the same time. I can imagine 50 years from now lol “Player X would drag weak era Nadal on Chatrier” 
This is a fascinating viewpoint. Can you explain why you feel this way? Especially since Novak takes the slam race if he wins the FO.
Because of Federer.
Not so sure how Federer is important to this and how the H2H against one particular player is deciding in the comparison between Fed and Novak.
Because Rafa is clay goat. Everything matters vs Rafa on clay when comparing fed and Nole. They are equal footing everywhere except on clay and vs Rafa.
Slay bestie
Great proving Novak is among great clay courters and Roger is not.
It would be dumb to not fear someone who dominates you
So dislike of Fed (or besting him) comes before #23? It's always interesting to see the mindset of fandom. It's always unique and individual.
Yes. Because I don't believe in absolute numbers. There is difficulty of draw as well. And Novak had much more difficult draws than fed overall.
With all due respect to Roger, in what world is Novak still chasing Roger...except for Wimby titles?
Now only longetivity. I think longetivity should be celebrated as well. Roger was epic close to 40 years age. He even reached AO semis.
There is nothing left for Novak to prove (comparing his career with RF ) on clay.
How is there never a surface goat. Rafa is not a goat but you will have to admit he is clay goat.
Djokovic is also ahead of Federer in next to everything. When solely going by stats neither Fed nor Nadal can best Djokovic.
It's just meaningless semantics , tennis is played on 3 surfaces.That's why there can be only one GOAT
Yes but if we remove clay they are so similar.
If I had a penny for every time I read “outside clay” or “remove clay” here on TTW. Anywho they are close on clay as well. Remove it and Novak is still ahead in slams, masters, H2H, weeks at No.1, YE #1. Stats wise Novak is the most successful, other things can be debated.
Novak with 1 more rg would be much more ahead. Let's hope he gets it.
Well, let's answer these questions.
I wonder why Djoko fanatics have been furious and created false stories about what Rafa said (posts ##65 and 69):
Good point, and my own point wasn't to diminish what Fed has accomplished. I think you know how much I respect and admire him.
Nadal is not physically able to play. Novak could have said , injuries are part of the sport as they ,are not my problem I have been injured too..
Nothing you mentioned is important NOW :
If he equals fed then it's enough. He doesn't need to surpass. 104 is 11 more than 93. Let's see.
But this is greatness. I am thinking longetivity.And not to even mention 387>> 310
No, he can be a human wall not do what Federer does. But to be fair Federer likewise can't be a human wall
Ok but I just replied to Fedfan coming to shove some of the meaningless (in bigger tennis scheme) records
Djokovic: "Honestly I don't miss [Nadal] being in the draw, you know?" (OP)
Tone matters. You are a bozo.Djokovic: "Honestly I don't miss [Nadal] being in the draw, you know?" (OP)
I wonder what's polite in Djoko's reply above.
Huh? What false stories?

True, laughing at Rafa not being in the draw matters.
