LOL you are really silly with this. There is picture of little Novak playing on HC on Kopaonik there.

Here are the courts are with Jelena Gancic and Novak Djokovic when he learned how to play. :roll:

There were HC AND clay courts there.

Since you didn't even bother to read, the groundsman said the courts used to be:

JUST LIKE ROLAND GARROS

and

THIS IS WHERE NOVAK REALLY LEARNED TO PLAY

Look this is Novak with Gencic on a CLAY COURT

Lol, that is a huge river in the background (probably Danube or Sava - i.e Belgrade or close to Belgrade) nowhere near Kopaonik which is a mountain resort at 5000 ft with no big water.

Please stop this silly thing :)

"I grew up on clay," Djokovic told Reuters in an interview at the Hamburg Masters.

Now you stop your silly thing.

Lol quote the whole thing:

"In Serbia, 90 percent of the courts we have in the country are clay courts so during the summer I played a lot of tournaments on that surface."

I.e. when he was outside of Kopaonik. Please stop. You can't not win this with me. No matter how many quotes out of context from half accurate articles you try to twist here.

Stop denying the truth Chico. Rafa is a much, much greater clay court player than your Idol. The truth will set you free........:twisted:

Nadal used to be better claycourter than Novak and is better claycourter overall indeed, no one denies that, but Novak is superior player an any other surface.

Your post just confirms what I have been saying all along. Thanks.

Sorry to rain on your parade, I have no problem to admit when I am wrong, but that is not the case here.
The fact is that Novak grew up and spent his first tennis years on HCs on Kopaonik Mountain resort where he lived and learned how to play tennis from 1989-1997. That is the fact and I am absolutely correct there and you were wrong There is no denying it any more.

As said, no amount of out of context quoting of half accurate internet articles, or making posts in large or bold fonts, or shallow insult towards me, will be able to change that.

Thanks.

It's not half accurate when it comes from the man himself. Stop being so delusional. You're the one who is in fact half accurate here Chico.

That pic is clearly on a clay court with Gencic. That was before Pilic academy and Pilic academy he spent even more time on clay.

I know it's a bitter pill for you to swallow and you can keep repeating your words over and over, but at the end of the day I'll ask this question:

When it comes to where Novak Djokovic learned to play tennis, which surface he grew up on do I believe you, or Novak Djokovic?

ANS: I'll believe Novak Djokovic thanks.

Case closed.

Please don't be silly any more. As I said, the pic with Gencic on clay is NOT on Kopaonik. There is a freaking huge river in the background. Please check again. Also Novak didn't say what you claim. You took his statement out of context "so during the summer I played a lot of tournaments on that surface".

The case is closed indeed and I proved you wrong. Will stop this silly bickering with you now. No point, pictures we both posted, proved my point.
Thanks.

Well for someone so great on clay it's amazing how he only won 1 French Open. And it's not like he had a Nadal type player as his main competition either.

In 1990, Andres Gomez was much more experienced than Thomas Muster, which was a big factor. Muster had Jim Courier against him at the 1992 and 1993 French Opens, at a time when Courier was the reigning French Open and Italian Open champion (and reigning Australian Open champion, for that matter). At the 1994 French Open, Patrick Rafter beat Muster. Muster was always vulnerable to serve-and-volley players, even on clay, because passing shots was not a strength of Muster's game.

The groundsman at the Hotel resort said the courts were JUST LIKE ROLAND GARROS.

A mile down the hill from the main resort lies the bombed-out wreckage of the Hotel Brzece. Further down a wooded path you find the remains of three clay courts, a practice wall and a small restaurant. Realising Novak needed more court time and a better surface, the family sub-let the courts from the hotel and ran them as a business. Their talented offspring would use one, often under the tutelage of Gencic on her summer visits, while renting out the others to visitors.
'These used to be just like Roland Garros,' says Komatovic, now 44, who used to look after them as a groundsman.


Stop acting like you were there, you weren't, the groundsman was, Novak himself said he grew up on clay.

You haven't proved anything at all, all you've done is given your opinion and done nothing to back that up.

So you obviously don't know the meaning of proving someone wrong either. You have absolutely no proof whatsoever that Novak didn't grow up playing on clay.

The proof I provided was from the man himself saying that he grew up on clay.

So yeah, you lose troll.

Lol at huge river on top of the mountain. :roll:

Nadal currently has won his last 4 slam matches vs. Djokovic.
Nadal currently has won his last 5 slam matches vs. Murray.
Nadal currently has won his last 6 slam matches vs. Federer.

Is Nadal the first man ever to simultaneously hold a 4+ slam winning streak over his 3 biggest rivals?

Federer never did.
Sampras ever?

Not sure about 4+ but at one point Federer had a 40-5 record against Hewitt, Roddick and Safin. The Slam winners that broke through around his time.

This discussion backs up my assertion that Nadal's H2H with Federer reflects as badly on him as it does on Federer.

It is amazing that Nadal has achieved as little as he has given his winning H2H against the player many consider to be the greatest to have ever played the game.

"As little...."? :lol:
Only one man in the history of tennis has more slams than Nadal.
And the way it looks now, Nadal will most likely win more slam titles than Federer.
Only 3 behind, and plenty of opportunities left, and no trouble winning the US Open and French Open (and continues to make AO finals).

Not sure about 4+ but at one point Federer had a 40-5 record against Hewitt, Roddick and Safin. The Slam winners that broke through around his time.

When I think of Federer's "3 biggest rivals" I include Nadal.
But if anyone thinks Hewitt/Roddick/Safin are Federer's 3 biggest rivals, then its worth looking into.

3 years and counting since Nole beat Nadal in a slam.

Remarkable that Nadal makes it through another slam undefeated against the big 4.

Just calling out that troll of an OP. Wise up and it is a legitimate point.

This is such a stupid and illogical stat. Because in his last 6 wins over fed, he has lost 3 times to djokovic and 2 times to murray. By some twisted logic, he states its 14 consecutive. Logically he didn't lose to other big 3 in slams since 2012 rg, thats 5 consecutive wins which is good.

What is really impressive is his record against top rivals in slams. 9-2 vs fed, 9-3 vs djokovic, 7-2 vs murray. Very impressive

LOL,you just everyone to bash Nadal for losing to Berdych. Please......

Nadal would deserve to get bashed if he played 100 percent and still lost to Berdych.

Sadly, that did not happen.
