I wish Nadal would tank in the previous round against Sock. Just like Djokovic tanked against Thiem in RG 2017.
Won all big events, and 13 of them twice. Beat Federer at Wimbledon, Nadal at Roland Garros.
Is Djokovic the most complete player of all times?
No. It's like saying Federer beat Novak at AO, and beat Nadal at RG, which he has never done.It's a bit like saying Federer beat Djokovic at the Australian Open(plus Rolland Garros).
To have advantage on Clay its much easier than on Hard court. Most tournaments are played on hard court, so like everyone used to that surface. Still Djokovic owns Nadal on HC.No. It's like saying Federer beat Novak at AO, and beat Nadal at RG, which he has never done.
Nadal never beat Novak at AO.
Let that sink in for a moment.
Federer's win over peak 2011 Djokovic in RG was way more impressive than a win over 2015 Nadal.No. It's like saying Federer beat Novak at AO, and beat Nadal at RG, which he has never done.
Nadal never beat Novak at AO.
Let that sink in for a moment.
But your wish came true in RG 2016, when Nadal withdrew one round before meeting Thiem. Happy then?I wish Nadal would tank in the previous round against Sock. Just like Djokovic tanked against Thiem in RG 2017.
Novak is not perfect. But in term of having no weakness for any player to exploit anywhere, he is the best.Won all big events, and 13 of them twice. Beat Federer at Wimbledon, Nadal at Roland Garros.

Sadly for you it's already and forever in the history books. Novak Djokovic is the only player to straight set the The Bull of Dirt on Philippe Chatrier. #Roastovic.I wish Nadal would tank in the previous round against Sock. Just like Djokovic tanked against Thiem in RG 2017.
Borgs a good one. But what about his lack of HC slam. That has to play a part?Borg.
Grinded his way to RG titles, then came back to S&V his way to Wimbledon titles right after. The game was less homogenous back then.
Djoko is the best and most impenetrable ever, though.
The fact that Djokovic fans have to hype a win over 2015 Nadal so much only proves one thing: that they know their guy doesn't have any real impressive wins in Roland Garros.Sadly for you it's already and forever in the history books. Novak Djokovic is the only player to straight set the The Bull of Dirt on Philippe Chatrier. #Roastovic.
Thiem was not going to beat Rafa at RG.But your wish came true in RG 2016, when Nadal withdrew one round before meeting Thiem. Happy then?
Losing in 3 Tie-breaks doesn't sound tanking to me. Also he had the chance to tank against Zverev if he wished. He could gain 360 more points without losing to Nole.Like Nadal tanked AO 2020 against Thiem?![]()
But Borg couldn't win a single USO although he made the final there 4 times. Something gave.Borg.

Agreed, that's a hole for Björn.Borgs a good one. But what about his lack of HC slam. That has to play a part?
No. It's like saying Federer beat Novak at AO, and beat Nadal at RG, which he has never done.
Nadal never beat Novak at AO.
Let that sink in for a moment.
Agreed, that's a hole for Björn.
I tend to give him a pass because the game was so much more varied between different conditions back then.
But yeah - big three have more complete résumés, but Borg arguably a more complete game

I think he had a good chance to win at least one USO if he hadn't retired so soon. Even Djoko won 1 USO in his first 6 finals which is absurd to me!Agreed, that's a hole for Björn.

That's normal.Djokovic did not have clay court slams at 26 though.
That's normal.
Not quite.You are assuming that Borg possessing red and blue on a spectrum guarantees that he has yellow.
I mean that was during Rafa's reign so it shouldn't be such a big deal. But Borg could have done better IMO.Not sure what normal means here, but the point is Borg retired at 26.
Impenetrable is a good way to put it.Borg.

No. Needs another FO. Only Nadal has that claim of completeness as he has the best resume on his weakest surface .Won all big events, and 13 of them twice. Beat Federer at Wimbledon, Nadal at Roland Garros.

Didn't he do that in 2016 where he would get wiped off by Novak two years in a row??I wish Nadal would tank in the previous round against Sock. Just like Djokovic tanked against Thiem in RG 2017.
Clay is not Novak's weakest surface...No. Needs another FO. Only Nadal has that claim of completeness as he has the best resume on his weakest surface .
It is actually. He is better on grass and HC. Wimb 2015 > any of his RG runs.Clay is not Novak's weakest surface...
1 FO says it has to be.Clay is not Novak's weakest surface...
Nadal clearly the most complete. Only one with a Golden Career Slam and the only one with more than one major on each surface and the only one with 3 Majors in one calendar year on each surface. The evidence is there for all to see. Federer is more complete than Djokovic btw.Nadal has no claim on completeness in any way.
He has zero Tour Finals titles and only 2 titles ever indoors. Compare that to Fed and Novak.
Novak is definitely the most complete player, all he lacks is a good overhead which hasn't held him back at all.
Most complete career, potentially. Needs OG. Most complete game, probably not. That would go to Federer, in my opinion.Won all big events, and 13 of them twice. Beat Federer at Wimbledon, Nadal at Roland Garros.
