Nobody bagels Novak Djokovic in a Major final -- except Rafael Nadal.

He did it to Federer too in the 2008 RG final. Since 2021 Nadal has the record for most bagels at a single tournament, 23 at RG surpassing the previous record of 22 at the USO by Jimmy Connors.

They faced each other more at RG (played many finals there) than all the other slams combined (AO+W+USO=8).

It's not Nadal's fault Djokovic couldn't make the final in 2009, 2014, 2017, (or 2022, lol) Also Nadal has more USO titles than Djokovic, and a winning record against him there as well.

[@riccardopacella8897]

​@Dean Maldonado we were talking about AO first, then it's obvious that if you face King of clay 10 times it's easier to lose to him. Meanwhile for Rafa, putting aside Wimbledon 2007 where Nole was constricted to withdraw, Rafa won only 2 times in New York, Nole beat him 2 in Wimbledon, 2 AO (his best slam) e and 1 in New York. 5-2 on 3 slams with 7 encounters. Rafa is 8-2 on his best surface. It changes a lot.

It’s just as much Djokovic’s fault as it is Nadal’s that they haven’t played more at AO. Nadal was in the final in 2009, 2014, 2017, 2022 waiting for Djokovic, who wasn’t there. Not to mention Nadal has had a ton of injuries at that tournament which didn’t help.

despite your continuous efforts to minimize Djokovic's dazzling results, wise people know that according to his results he is the best, I know that the fact that he is from Eastern Europe does not suit you at all, s he was German or Swedish or English I think we will have another story.

[@Rowlph8888]

Why? Because he has one more title.Clearly you don't know how to assess value.Anybody with understanding of how maths works and we are not using statistical models, so the most representative way of assessing who is the best, is always made of, a combination of 3 things: 1). What is the ratio of how many titles have been won at the top level (grandslam and Masters, series) compared to how many they have entered 2) have they entered a "representative" amount of these tournaments, to qualify as a legitimate comparison against each other. 3) is either significantly ahead in their head-to-head comparison in these high quality events Both have entered and won enough tournaments to qualify for comparison. Both have very similar head-to-head records, e.g. Novak is one ahead in total, but the dial is several match victories ahead in grandslam finals. But ultimately the clearly most important statistic. If you're evaluating who is the all round best TENNIS player, is that Nadal has a significantly superior aggregate score, versus tournament entered and is therefore Nadal is legitimately THE BEST PLAYER. Novak simply loses too many inexplicable and surprising matches at the top level, when compared to Nadal

@@veljkoterzic3513 Well, from your comment is clear that you are either young and/or not educated to very high level, especially in how to assess value, and/or extremely biased. Everything you listed is completely irrelevant. Quality can only be assessed at the highest level, which is grandslam and Masters series. The fact that you listed total victories and ignored the absolute legitimacy of the ratio that I stated was crucial. E.g. wins versus tournament entered, shows your thinking is highly compromised. *In no other industries anywhere is value assessed in the ridiculous and laughable way you listed a load of irrelevant Arbitrarily picked metrics.I can't be bothered find the ratio, but it's the only thing that Matters. Rafa's ratio is considerably superior, because he is far more consistent victories at the top level. *All this, in any era when clay-court have been marginalised, in favour of hard courts -Rafa STILL has a better record.In previous eras, he would be streets ahead!Mostl

Easily the two beat players of all time. What an honor to watch them play.

Eurosport, you need to upload the 2014 FO Final that you removed, simply because you faced criticism in the comment section. Thank you.

[@alitherland765]

Good luck to Djokovic at the FO 2023! Hope the elbow recovers.

[@katyengineer9087]

Sheer credit to Rafael. Who can win 14 times in 1 grand slam ? Noone.. So naturally he is the GOAT along with Roger Federer..

[@davidcapacidad7262]

Rafa and Federer could bagel Djockovic, not the other way around, that shows that when they were 100% Nole did not have a change, I make the exception for 2011 where even being at top level, djockovic ruled them by far.
