Stats proof bomb: Nadal is good on indoor HC, he is just never in shape to play it

[initialize]

I know, I wrote that because you said Novak struggled with old Fed. But honestly, he was dominating.

In slams only. Which makes sense because in a BO5 match, all other things being equal, gives the 6 year younger player a massive endurance advantage

Nadal being applauded for being the greatest fighter and playing every point like it is a match point, then being described as someone who doesn't care about indoor tennis or the WTF because season is over after USO, and this too by the same set of fans of his is one of the biggest contradictions in sport.

No bigger than Djok fans applauding him for being genuine...

Or you saying you like Nadal, yet take pot shots at him on a daily basis...

This fight for every point at all times stuff is really driven by the commentators more than his fans...

You're just incredibly bitter for some reason...

tl;dr: Nadal only loses when injured

OP is correct. While he's no beast on indoor low bouncing hc, he's also had a pretty bad run at it as well.

Missed 7 YEC and pulled out mid tourney of another... so that's 8 opportunities gone begging.

Dare I say, if guys like Grigor, Davy, Zed, Tsits, Med could win it, he'd def have his chances as well...

This is a pretty boring what-if compared to how many majors Federer would lead Djokodal if he was the one younger than the two.

A more boring what-if than the goat of boring what-ifs? That is pretty damn boring!
