Nadal in 2017-2019.....5 Slams....1-4 h2h against Fedalovic in the Slams

[MambiPambi]

Well, Rafa has beaten Djokovic and Federer this year.
Rafa's win over Federer was the 2nd most lopsided match of their slam history.
And Rafa's win over Djokovic featured the first bagel of their rivalry-

On top of that, Rafa's win over Federer at Roland Garros, was far more convincing than Federer's win over Rafa at Wimbledon.
In fact at Wimbledon, Federer won the 1st Set in a tie-breaker, and Rafa breadsticked Federer in the 2nd Set, and Federer's best set was a 6-3.
Rafa has definitely had the better of Federer this year.
Djokovic has had the better of Rafa, but Rafa said he wasn't allowed to practice defense after his ankle surgery, so had no way of preparing for the Australian Open.....so there was never any chance of him winning the AO regardless of his offensive skills......because Rafa has always required defense and court movement to beat Djokovic......and even so, Djokovic was unable to serve up any bakery products in the AO Final

Off clay he's impotent against Fed and Joker.

Nadal has learned from Federer that the most important thing is not the direct confrontations with rivals of their same category but the consistency and ability to overcome the rest of the players is what gives more success, after all.
It is never too late to learn the lesson.
Congratulations, Rafa!

 

[octogon]

if he was the most consistent player against the field he would be #1. He's not. Case closed.

He's number 1 in the race, with a 2000 point lead over Djokovic. If he plays one or two more tournaments, he'll be number 1 in real time rankings as well.

Your post is a fail.

 

[RS]

I wonder why the same posters who claims Fed won his slams against a weak era doling out tons of stats, don't do the same for Nadal?

Are you kidding?

Lost the 5th Set after being up a break in the 2017 AO Final vs. Federer.
Lost 10-8 in the 5th Set of 2018 Wimbledon SF vs. Djokovic.
Lost the 1st Set in a tiebreaker and won the 2nd Set 6-1 of Wimbledon SF vs. Federer.
I seriously doubt Federer/Djokovic were thinking "Rafa is impotent" during those matches

He's not #1 in the world currently. You fail.

AO: 2 finals
FO: 3 wins
Wimbledon: 2 semis
USO: 2 wins

Has a 1-4 record in the Slams against Fedalovic with the only win against a 38-year old Fed at the FO in tornado like conditions.

Last time Nadal beat either Federer or Djokovic in a Slam apart from the 2019 FO was at the 2014 FO. Last time Nadal beat either Federer or Djokovic outside of clay in any tournament was at the 2014 AO.

Discuss.

Very easy. The phrase 'he who doth protest too much' comes to mind reading the OP

 

[Indianwells007]

As if we could be anymore envious of rafa we now get to see this beauty!! Nadal has it all.

 

[UnderratedSlam]

What´s there to discuss? You´ve just listed facts everyone has been discussing on TTW for months.

You haven´t noticed?

 

[BringBackSV]

Never said that but tornado like conditions definitely benefit players with less talent more than players who rely on precision.

Wait, so Fed is a more talented clay court played in your brain?

Now try to write this thread without crying

 

[Phoenix1983]

5th butthurt thread since UO 2019.

What a consistency from @tennis_pro

What a statistical coincidence.

That's exactly 1/100th of the number of pointless, inane posts you have made since USO 2019.

 

[dropshotlikeitshot]

Rafa beat his biggest rival on clay in his 3 French Open wins during this time period. Also in this time period, he was one match away from facing Novak twice and Roger once but instead faced the player that upset them. It’s no guarantee that he would have won the potential match against either Roger or Novak, but it’s not his fault that the other two lost before reaching him.

 

[Thinker_145]

Nadal has had enough big match wins over the big 3 that he doesn't need them anymore for credibility.

 

[Spider]

Nadal is better than the field than Fed & Djokovic are.

 

[Povl Carstensen]

5 Slams in 2017-2019.
The GOAT!

Doesn't matter if it's Berrettini, Cilic, Federer or Shwartzman to go through. What matters is that he won 5 Slams and they just couldn't stop him.

Like Federer 04-07

rent free....

rent free....

Lol Nadal is somewhere sipping champagne on an island and TP is throwing darts at a Nadal cardboard cutout.

 

[D.Nalby12]

The biggest opportunist around.

 

[Nadal_King]

Be happy if he is 1-4, imagine it being 4-1 in rafa's favour and 2017-19 for Rafa would have been like Federer 2004-06 and he would have been Goat easily by now.

 

[Subway Tennis]

The OP's point stands: Nadal is now the best of the Big 3 against the field.
