Will Djokovic ever beat Nadal again? Was Jan 2012 the end of his success vs Nadal?

won't go on for long, I assure you , but as this is a troll thread anyways , it won't matter that much .......

You mean because Djokovic won 7 in a row over Nadal and now Nadal has won 3 in a row and on the way to 7 (or 8 or 9) in a row this year? Yes deja vu, but the roles have been reversed. In fact, the 3 in a row Nadal has won so far have all been in finals, just like Djokovic's streak was in finals. Although I'm hoping that will change and we get a fun QF between them soon at Roland Garros or Wimbledon. Nadal leads the h2h 19-14, so just a couple more wins will make it appear rather lopsided. I guess that's the price you pay for only dominating your rival for 10 months.

Ehhh...whaat!!

Abmk is on my wavelength here.
Him and The Order tend to have more titanic struggles than all the Djokovic and Nadal matches put together.

He only failed to get past the first week in 03, 05 and 12.

Fed has failed to get past the first round at Wimbledon 3 times and was a bee's dick away from making it 4 in 2010 :twisted:

So was Nadal in 2006, 2007 (twice) and 2010 (twice).

So technically he either lost early or almost got out early in 2003,2005,2006,2007,2010,2012 and didn't play in 2004,2009. The only years he avoided 5-setters were 2008 (Gulbis gave him a pretty tough match) and 2010 (so did Del Potro).

Will Djokovic ever beat Nadal again? Was Jan 2012 the end of his success vs Nadal? Nadal has won their last 3 meetings and Djokovic has won a total of one set (and it was when the court was drenched).

In your face dumb little boy...
Go, cry now

VAMOSDNA Joined in 2011 to brag about Nadal, then Djokovic killed him in almost every tournament that year. Subsequently left the forum until 2013.

After predicting that Nadal wouldn't be beaten by anybody this year, Monte Carlo happened, where he was a 8 time consecutive champ.

The trend should follow, see you in 2015 :)

That's why NSK is a way preferable troll than Clarky21 who never stops her garbage no matter what the outcome.

Sigh, you don't know about the legend of NSK. He is always here in different forms. He never leaves.

Will the most formidable, tenacious and successful player of the last two years ever beat Nadal?
I'd say he has a very good chance as he has over any player in the world.

Honestly, why do posters do this? I think they get some sort of masochistic kick from negative attention and humiliation.

A quote from Zagor responding to similarly absolutist ideas in another thread sums it up perfectly:

"I'd say statements like......are premature (not to mention arrogant and obnoxious, it's one thing having faith in your favourite player another one to act like this) and people might end up with eggs on their faces."


And, by the way, well done Djokovic.
Total respect to him and a phenomenal effort to win this tournament, after the ankle trauma, which must have required immense mental strength.
