This stat is even worse for Nadal considering the amount of matches he retired from when trailing
This i have been saying Nadal is mentally weakest amoung top 3 while Roger is strongest but ttw don't go for stats

Nadal the weakest against other big3 members? He's won %53,1 of big3 matches. Djokovic is at %52,8 and Federer %43,3. Djokovic's percentage goes much higher in finals (%59,6), with Nadal at %51,9 and Federer %37,2. Regarding "the field", I don't have the numbers, but my gut feeling is that Federer is the strongest.Mentally weakest? How so?
I could see it, but only if we're counting his tendency to retire from matches he knows he is going to lose--that massive ego cannot take losing, so being injured is preferred.
But when he's mentally and physically in a match, I feel there's no one tougher.
I've said this many times but Rafa is the best vs "The Field"--the least vulnerable to shock losses of the Big3. But he's the weakest against the other B3.
Novak is the most vulnerable to The Field. But the strongest vs the other B3 members.
Fed is in the middle on both counts.

Do you have those percentages vs the field?Among B3, Fed comes third against other B3 members and also the field. If you remove his win/loss against Nadalovic, his career win% is still lower than theirs. On an average, he is more likely to lose a match.

There are many matches he knows he's gonna lose and still didn't retire. Going for some recent ones, vs Fritz at IW, vs Lloyd Harris in Wahington, vs Djoko at RG semi, AO final vs Djoko in 2019... he does have a tendency to get injured though, having to retire, both while going up and while down in the match.
I had forgotten op's premise of "in slams"...If you count slam matches only (to respect the OP in a way), it's Nadal 65%, Djokovic 53%, Federer 32%.
Nadal leads at RG, USO. Even at AO. Only negative at WIM.
Djokovic leads at WIM, AO. Negative at 2 other slams.
Federer only even at USO. Negative at 3 other slams.

Sorry, but those numbers seem wrong, or I'm not understanding something. How can Federer be %86 at slams, but only %32 vs the field??? Or is it %32 vs the other big3 members? If it's the latter, wouldn't it mean Fed is the strongest vs the field?

Guess we'll have to work on thatCuriously, since last September, the number of "40-15" references here have gone to zero.
but...... beri beri barrior, no?Performance in Grand Slam matches after going down 0-2
Borg - 6 wins in 13 matches - 46% win record
Federer - 9 wins in 38 matches - 23.68% win record
Djokovic - 6 wins in 27 matches - 22.22% win record
Sampras - 6 wins in 26 matches - 19.23% win record
Agassi - 5 wins in 32 matches - 15.62% win record
NIshikori - 4 out of 30 matches - 13% win record
Nadal - 3 wins in 24 matches - 12.5% win record
DC WG QF, RUS vs CZE: Safin d. Berdych 6-7(5) 4-6 6-3 6-2 6-4Safin - 0 wins in 25 matches - 0% win record ( No surprise ...Safin had no fight in him when he was not in mood ...No wonder he has only 2 slams instead of being an ATG )
Yep. I trust the judgment of our glorious, totally unbiased mod team.Who's we? Your boy @Nadal_Django is GONE BABY GONE!

Nadal goes 0-2 down when he gets outplayed. Medvedev clearly outplayed him in the first 2 sets of AOOr you can also see it as a negative thing, like Federer goes down 0-2 even when he's the better player and doesn't take his chances in the 1st two sets, and Nadal only goes down 0-2 when he's the worse player.
So I take this stat with a grain of salt.
