It's not really about dismissing clay. But the H2H is unbalanced, so it's not an accurate enough measure to be taken into account.But you don't get to discount clay, as your statement above the bolded shows. If you're going to say Nole>Pete because of clay, then you have to accept Rafa leads h2h over Nole on clay, and overall slam count therefore Rafa>Nole
He hasn't sealed the lead over his rival (yet).
Why not?That's good. I didn't want to vote so that vote can count as mine.
If I vote for Djokovic, it's probably just bias. Half of the votes for Nadal or Djokovic came by their fans who didn't even want to think about this matter.Why not?
I see, yes we can note most of the obvious fanboys of the two players voting for their fave. (Lew a notable exception)If I vote for Djokovic, it's probably just bias. Half of the votes for Nadal or Djokovic came by their fans who didn't even want to think about this matter.
I could just vote equal.
The way I see it, Rafa needs to win this coming RG, which I do believe he will win and quite convincingly, however, should the unthinkable happen and he doesn't win, then Djokovic is taking over and he will be taking over quickly.Only 46-35 in Rafa's favour, with two extra slams for the Spaniard.
Methinks the poll would tip in Nole's favour, were he to be one slam behind.
he wanted to say raja.. but made a little mistake (those letters are bery close to each other on the keyboard, it's a common thing while typing pretty fast)Raga...![]()
only the best player is the no1! and nole has been no1 for 2 whole years longer than rafa. it is 50% longer than rafa has been. he has only 10% less slams and also lost the chance to take wimbl last year as a big favorite.If you're a better player, you have a better capability of winning slams. So as it stands, Nadal is greater AND better player overall even when 70% of the tour is comprised of Novak's favorite surface. People think that argument should be a detriment to Nadal but actually it's a detriment to Novak. If Novak equals Nadal in slams then I will concede he is better as his achievements outside slams push him above.
no.1 shows the best player over the past 52 weeks, it doesn't show who the best player is over an entire career.only the best player is the no1! and nole has been no1 for 2 whole years longer than rafa. it is 50% longer than rafa has been. he has only 10% less slams and also lost the chance to take wimbl last year as a big favorite.
but it clearly shows that rafa has been the best player for 4 years while nole has been the best for 6 years, during their respective careers. that is a significant margin.no.1 shows the best player over the past 52 weeks, it doesn't show who the best player is over an entire career.
But Rafa is doing significantly better than Novak in years where they are not ranked no.1 by an even greater marginbut it clearly shows that rafa has been the best player for 4 years while nole has been the best for 6 years, during their respective careers. that is a significant margin.

Exactly when all is said and done, Rafa will be more revered that Djokovic will ever be, no matter how may slams he wins by."Greater" as in strictly tennis achievements? Djokovic, he might be down 2 slams, but his resume is far more complete than Rafa's.
"Greater" as in also transcended sports (to become a global icon)? Rafa, because Djokovic can win 40 slams, he'll never reach that status.
