You're right. Clay isn't real tennis anyway.Completely.
Utterly.
Pointless.

Nadal has definitely made it look unreal, slay

I always thought Nadal would need to have the same mindset he had against Novak in the fifth set of 2013 SF in order to beat a player like Borg. Borg moved faster and defended better than Novak on clay, and no way he would force him into fatigue/errors, he'll have to go for his shots like never before on the red dirt while facing a guy with the defense (on clay) that he's never experienced.
Borg also hit quite heavy so he had a high margin for error.
I honestly believe they would split their matches at RG.
I'm a bit disappointed. Expected a movie quote from you, that dirty cop from the Scary movie would fit perfectly.Nice
Makes a change from the Borg is just gonna roll over like Stan vibe. Mind blown once more. You have done well.

Nah.Nadal pretty easily
It was a streak of 47 sets from 2017 RG to 2018 madrid 4R, then he lost the Madrid qf to thiem in straight sets 5-7 3-6.Nadal has definitely made it look unreal, slay

50 sets if I remember correctlyIt was a streak of 47 sets from 2017 RG to 2018 madrid 4R, then he lost the Madrid qf to thiem in straight sets 5-7 3-6.
Hahaha, priceless.Stan played like he was bloated, constipated, had a boil on his ass the size of a walnut - you know, the usual when you play the king on clay. But let us not forget that Bjorn was also a king for a long time. It would be really interesting. Time to get working on the old hypothetical time machine again so we can clear Borg's name for good.

Hahaha, priceless.
The sad thing is that I'll always think of his SM role whenever I see him acting, regardless of the movie.
If both Borg and Nadal played in the same era, there would be no career slams for Fed and Novak.
50 sets if I remember correctly
Lol. It's beyond amazing how much Nadal's worst year is used against him. But Federer and Djokovic fans somehow hate it when one mentions their losses when they were in their worst form.Pretty clearly Nadal overall, though I wouldn’t underestimate Borg’s chances. If Djokovic can take Nadal to five in RG 2013 and beat him in 2015, I imagine Borg could do even more damage.
Nadal’s definitely not winning 12 RG’s with Borg around, but I think he’d still end up with like 9-10.
I’m only saying that Borg would have achieved those same results as Djokovic, plus a little extra since he’s a better claycourter.Lol.

Isn't this thread about comparing their peak levels? I believe Borg also had periods when he played worse than usually.I’m only saying that Borg would have achieved those same results as Djokovic, plus a little extra since he’s a better claycourter.
Unless you want to dispute that Borg would beat Nadal in 2015?

Oh yeah, I missed that part. I was comparing across their whole careers. Peak for peak, I’d say Nadal would win 7 out of 10, maybe 8.Isn't this thread about comparing their peak levels? I believe Borg also had periods when he played worse than usually.
LOL, another gem!An iconic role for sure. I've used this plenty of times.

You are forgeting six sets of davis cup 2018. He won in straights against kohlscrieber and zverev.Even I was wrong. It's a streak of 45 sets
21 from Rg 2017
10 from MC 2018
10 from Barcelona 2018
4 from Madrid 2018

The issue is that almost nobody on here has ever seen them play.From this and the Lendl thread it is clear there is an extreme underrating of older greats on this forum.

But the poll does tell the truth. Nadal with modern technology and athleticism would win.
Completely agree. All I am saying is that if we take 1978 Borg and put him on the same court as 2008 Rafa, he would lose. That is not a terribly controversial opinion. It does not mean that Nadal is better than Borg either.The question is bogus to begin with. You cannot compare the two, it's impossible. So, sure, if we don't give Borg any new technology and any of the new training, he will probably lose.
But, how would Nadal do with a 65 inch wooden racquet and having to compete when surfaces were so drastically different throughout the schedule?
If Borg grew up in this era, with all the training and all the new equipment, he would be just as good as Nadal on clay and even better on non-clay.
5 people know their stuff here that's me, vive and some other 3 smart people
Lol, in all my time on this forum I've never seen another poster get continually as rattled as you do whenever that 2015 RG match gets mentioned. It still burns that Djokovic finally got a win over your boy there irrespective of his form, no?Lol. It's beyond amazing how much Nadal's worst year is used against him. But Federer and Djokovic fans somehow hate it when one mentions their losses when they were in their worst form.
Records on clay
RAFA: 436-39
