Grand Slam Draws Are Fixed

[@Infinity2205]

This is mind blowing scam 😒 this research proves how important Djokovic and Murray ( unfortunately he was out) are to save the Tennis. Novak did it alone for so much time now and actually bashed everyone. I really see now why everyone ( establishment,players and media ) are so afraid of him .unfortunately for Djokovic ,players know but they never support him in unison openly and help him improve the functioning of ecosystem.PTPA can't function with individual contribution!

[@JoeV03]

Nadal had the balls to compare him missing tournaments due to "injury" to the US not letting Novak in for a not having vaccine 2 years post pandemic, which is complete anti science BS (Especially since if you are a citizen you can play if you dont have the vaccine). Though illegal immigrants can cross the border being covid positive without any issues. This is no surprise as Nadal continues to show what a little piece of shi* he is.

[@elwingy]

Pfff no biggy...lets just add it to the list: Djokovic simultaneously had to: - Beat the best players on the other side of the net - Beat hostile crowds that constantly boo and whistle during his serve and during play - Deal with constant media fake news and trash journalism - Deal with politics and even entire governments that use him as a political scapegoat - Deal with rigged tournament draws that are favorable to his main rivals And that is why this dude has been the GOAT for years now... not only does he endure all that, he overcomes it, becomes unstoppable and like Kyrgios said... "we created A MONSTER"... not even stopping him from playing tennis slowed him down... let that sink in...

[@MsGrowltiger]

Sont forget how pathetic the time violation call was made in the middle of the second set tie breakers at wimbledon 2023. Times to perfecti9n disrupt Novak's rhythm. If not for that, he probably would've won the 2nd set and went on to win the match. He deserved the time violation but much earlier but the umpire kept quiet and chose the most perfect time to call time violation. The ATP is so pathetic that they have tried everything to stop Novak but yet he rules on all accounts.

Novak's draw at US Open has been insanely brutal compared to that of the opponent he faced in the final. In 2010, 2013 and 2021, Novak's semi final opponent all but killed his chances of winning the title. In 2011, the draw was equally brutal, but Novak somehow managed to lift the champions's trophy.

[@viksinha5410]

Novak wouldn’t have won the title in 2010 and 2013 because he wasn’t as good as 2011 and he faced the best ever versions of Nadal on hard courts. In 2021 it wasn’t just his semifinal match; it was also the fact that he had been playing so much tennis at such a high level that it tired him out.

US open has been a scandal. Novak being no.1 for many year never had favourable schedule. Novak had to play semifinals last day before finals. This lead to many losses....

[@dzailibu]

There was an SI issue last year in which Jon Wertheim says that the draws are done in tournament directors office, but that he (JW) knows (sic) that the draws are not fixed. Anyway, I have to tell you that I wrote about this on SC back in 2009 or 2010 because at that time there was enough statistical evidence that this was happening, and it was obvious to me. I have still a few points to make here. A certain sporting goods company didn't install their man Robert Helfant to lead the ATP just because he looked nice (he didn't 😉). He was the guy who led the negotiations with Federer when they signed him to, at the time, a record contract. He was there to make sure that every final was the holy grail of finals: Federer-Nadal. Second point: the "tournaments" didn't put any consideration around Murray. He wasn't a problem. Đoković was. Third: RG draw has definitely been being fixed all along, including this year. I calculated around one in 1000 probability for this distribution to happen. Just think about two times a chance to meet in quarters, and it happened both times (12.5 % just for those two draws). Then every time there is a 50% chance that they met in semis, they really meet in semis. The only exception was 2009, and we know what happened in 2009 and who won the RG, and who wouldn't have been in any goat conversation if he hadn't "won" that trophy (who was the president of the ATP then 😉?). Good job, and do one dedicated to RG!

Nothing against Federer or Nadal, they are great players and nothing can take away from that, but Djoker has truly been on another level in his prime. Without so many fixed and easy draws, and the number of slams he has achieved again are, numbers in proof of how great he has really become. Now they are doing even SHADIER stuff by banning him from tourneys altogether because he hasn't been vaccinated. What a pile of absolute RUBBISH. Not vaccinated??? From something that people who ARE vaccinated against (AND boosted 4 or more times) catch anyways? From something that 99.99999% of people survive, vaccinated or not?!

In your scenario of 12 Grand Slam semi’s it was Fed vs Nole #2 vs #3 at 5 different draws, which I think was right and fair, and the other 7 were not the typical usual fair seeding draw.

I mean you can't say that 4:1 and 1:1 are too different or 2:0 and 3:2 are so one sided that you should keep Murray/Djokovic away from Fed/Rafa 2) In fact Djokovic literally beat Fed in straight sets to go on and win the AO'08 . I think beating Fed in straight sets in a grandslam semi outside clay and ending his grandslam final streak since RG'05 semis was a really big statement instead of some ATP matches 3) And there are 9 masters 1000 and the World Tour Finals , draws of which have been completely ignored 4) And RG is given a separate category just cause Rafa was winning seems like cherry picking , even Fed was winning all the grass tournaments back then so why not separate Wimbledon too ? 5)Hell , Fed was winning most of anything outside clay prior to 2008 Which is why these stats seemed at least a bit cherry picked to me . Nevertheless , I agree that the organizers try and give the top 2 seeds at least a lesser difficult a draw

I do think worldwide Federer is a better GS finals player from a sponsorship perspective than anyone else.

[@tomasdelcampo2]

ATP 1000 is irrelevant. I mean even if you remove wimbledon it's the same thing. But keep in mind nadal has never beat djokovic in wimbledon or Australian open so it benefited nadal. And also nadal wouldn't have to beat both djokovic and federer in US open to win it I have to say it was unnecessary but it was either rigged or a 1 in 1 million chance happened.

[@Noname-rj6gw]

They always try hard to push Fed and Nadal to met in the final which would bring more money. That is the reason for fixing the draw all the time.

[@jordanziskin2234]

Oh my god! This is incredible! I can’t believe this hasn’t been exposed!

[@peter42466]

The thing I find so sad about this though it that it means we didn’t get to see Murray vs dole that often which is a shame cause those two played some of the most exciting tennis imaginable

[@OkwyUgonweze]

You put in great works friend,thanks .

[@Lucian86]

I have some problems with this: 1. Why excluding Roland Garros ? Sure for Nadal it didn't matter who faced in SF but it did for Federer. Djokovic was an worse opponent than Murray (who wasn't great on clay) yet he was in the same draw 2/4 times. If you want to exclude RG because it's a separate event then you should do the same for each tournament (as they have different organizations) and calculate the probabities separately. 2. Sample size is small. Probability calculations assume that a certain event is repeated to the infinite. Just because a certain outcome happen many times in a row, that doesn't invalidate the overall probability. Take a coin for instance and launch it 100 times. You'll get roughly 50:50 heads and tail but it's very likely you'll get 7 heads or tails in a row at some point. Putting the RG into the equation as well, it doesn't look that bad. 3. I get why Djokovic vs Federer and Nadal vs Murray somehow initially gave better odds to have a Fedal final but at the time both were dominant so it didn't make much difference. Moreover, Djokovic beat Federer in AO SF. Clearly there was an edge Djokovic might have against Federer there so you should factor this in. You assume that these match-ups gave the best odds to a Fedal Final..Not necessarily... you should check tournament by tournament. I'm not excluding though there might have been some fixes here and there but the assumptions for these calculations are too general and the interpreations too biased.

You seem like you actually know your stats. Nobody here knows statistics. Even the maker of this video.

[@milanvesovic1703]

12 consecutive slams Novak was projected to FEDERER and not Nadal and you asking about RG HAHAHAHAH. Djokovic Federer outside clay 2007-2010 was 5:11 in favor of Roger (2011 was 4:0 for Novak, they didnt expect Novak rise) Djokovic Nadal outside clay 2007-2011 was 11:6 for Novak This is clear pattern to make Djokovic Federer match up in order to make Federer Nadal finals more possible, and not only that, to prevent Novak become number 2 earlier.

[@Sbudre]

@@milanvesovic1703 rubbish, and you know it.

[@milanvesovic1703]

12 times out of 12 to have draw projected to Federer (not even once Nadal) is rubbish for you, when every time Novak has 50 percent of chance to face Nadal in semifinals and not Federer. Rubbish, hahaha my God. And furthermore Novak was projected to play Nadal in semifinals of RG 4 OUT OF 5 TIMES (2006-2010). you are complete idiot. When Novak rised above all of them in 2011 it wasnt matter anymore cause they knew Novak is far better then them outside ROLand garros

[@Lucian86]

@@milanvesovic1703 you're not addressing my points

[@skatershoesfun]

when Murray was not Top4 (which is in 5 occassions) they could have placed him in Djokovics quarter to make the draw more difficult (if thats what was intended). Instead, Nadal had to face him in the quarterfinals several times. So, basically there goes your theory...

[@skatershoesfun]

@man bat I debunked the video in 5 seconds. By the way, Djokovic was 4-2 in that period vs Federer in those 3 slams, so it didn't hurt him that much, did it?

[@goatkovic]

@@skatershoesfun First of all, that still doesn't explain why Djokovic got Federer in 12 consecutive draws. Secondly, putting Murray in Djokovic's quarter would mean putting him on Federer's path.

[@skatershoesfun]

@@goatkovic He would have to play only one of them. I thought the whole point about your fixing theory was to make draws easy for Nadal/Federer and hard for Djokovic?

[@goatkovic]

@@skatershoesfun And it would raise no suspicion that Murray always plays Djokovic, and the winner always plays Federer?

[@murodjonnormurodov6662]

Great video and thank you that you helped me a lot to realize the truth...

[@Tennislover511]

I don’t think this is definitive but it is ridiculous that nadal gets easiest draws At us open and it always seems like djokovic gets the hardest draws at grand slams out of the big 3. Not just that but at the French open it always seem like djokovic and nadal are on the same side, one of the reasons why they have played 10 times at the same slam which is ridiculously high, no other rivalry even comes close to 10 times at same slam. I know match fixing usually implies the competitors are involved but if this is because of match fixing I think it’s because of forces outside of djokovic/nadal/Federer/Murray direct control

[@vincentnederlandt6387]

Draws are based on seeding, not names. Third seed should be with first seed 50% of the time. This is happening 6 out of 12 times in your example. These are the facts. No conspiracy here...

[@moaningpheromones]

I agree with you. I've been waiting to read this exact comment. Took too long though - sheesh. Idiot bruhs duh duh numbers bad, bruh it's all fixed for fedal bruh. Djokovic was #3 for a reason - he wasn't good enough to be 1 or 2. The end. I'd love to see ND vs Rafa in all those draws. Does anyone remember Nole beating RF then losing to Nadal at USO in 2010? It's all fixed.

[@sloppygamer1291]

Absolutely right, thank god there’s some sense still in these comment sections! The way I looked at the 12 slams from 2008-2011 is to see how many times Novak was on the top half of the draw and the bottom half of the draw, regardless of the names in that half. As expected, it’s 6/12 in top half and 6/12 in the bottom half.

[@JosephMagicFlower]

True but when it happened federer was always ays with djokovic and nadal with murray... it can't be a coincidence.

[@aleksandargospodinovic888]

Bravo legendo, istina uvek izadje na svetlo...

[@80destry]

Not to mention that in 2011 Đoković was put in the same side of the draw as Federer was in all of the Grand Slam events. Coincidence? Federer was the only guy who could defeat Đoković that year and it happened at RG that year.

Question: why do they want Nadal and Federer to be matched up? What do they get out of it?

[@nelsonbernardi1072]

It was way more profitable for the organizers than any other possible final match.
