His insane injuries are also the reason Roger somehow "solved Rafa" - he didnt, Rafa just cant play his game since 2013.

Novak is simply a purer talent than Rafa in every aspect of the game. A purer ball striker, mover, server and has a smarter tennus brain. He sees the court like a geometric puzzle and uses EVERY inch of it to push his opponents from side to side, front to back and in Rafa's case, using his own power against him in the process. His insane hand eye coordination simply allows him to turn the screw on his opponents, by taking the ball incredibly early and moving like a cat dancing around their pray. 🐐

[@lukadordevic1718]

Novak is way better on clay than Nadal is on hardcourts, 2 examples : - in the same period Nadal hasn’t even won a set on hc Against Novak , Novak beat Nadal 5 times on his beloved clay - Novak has won Rome masters 6 times and made the final 12 times , Nadal doesn’t even come close to any of those numbers on any hc tournaments

[@AlejandroGarcia-wz1qi]

Well, Nadal won 5 Canada Masters, even more than Djokovic. Only Ivan Lendl (6) won more.

[@mohamedaktharulameen6967]

Djokovic gets defeated against Nadal only on clay but Nadal gets defeated with any player in hard courts... The percentage of both meetings in hc is less than clay.. Otherwise h2h will be more gap between them. Nole rocks 💪

[@redtord7194]

so we're gonna ignore how Nadal and Nole are literally tied in US Opens and the reason Nole even tied him in US Opens is cus Nadal was injured in 2023, 5 Canada Masters how is that not close to 6 you're either delusional either slow. Also a lot of those Rome masters Nole won were due to the fact Nadal didn't play in majority of those that Djokovic won. Besides, Nadal has a way bigger domination on clay than Nole has ever had on hard it's not even comparable and Nadal and Djokovic were way closer on hard courts when both of them were in their primes which speaks for itself while Nole could never truly get close to Nadal on clay while Rafa was in good condition, while they were both in good condition. It's js Nadal has lacked consistency on hard ever since he got older, but if you compare their prime versions there is a much much smaller gap on hard than it is on clay and you know that yourself but you cherry pick some tournaments to make an "argument" that not only is fallacious, it's also really dumb😹😹 and I js showed you why.

[@mohamedaktharulameen6967]

First of all pls try to understand what hard courts are and then argue. Hc is not only playing in us open or Canada open. It includes all master series and other atp 500 tournaments. Nole has won a record multiple times of all the master series where Nadal can't achieve that feat a single time. He has also never won atp finals. During their last phase, Nadal struggles to win a single set against nole and pls don't forget grass records as well where that makes him far better than Nadal. Pls check the fact from all aspects instead of biased one

[@redtord7194]

@@mohamedaktharulameen6967 if you meant to reply to me calling mr biased is really ironic😂I never said only those two hard courts matter nor did I imply it but seems like some meatriders lack literacy, I was using those two to give a contradiction of what the oc said ab Nadal not having any hard court title over Nole which is false😂On the other hand Djokovic doesn't have any clay title over Nadal so "Djokovic on hard>Nadal on clay" is again false. Please realise what I'm arguing instead of cherry picking words and exagerrate their meaning in order to counter argument, that's a strawman fallacy.

[@spideyocd]

I disagree. you haven't seen feds or nadals best tennis most of the 2010s. This was a masterclass from Novak for sure but if some of the shots on the lines didn't go novaks way he could've been struggling. He played some excellent shots and he knew that if he kept his level the match would be his in 3 sets. If Nadal had got a set in I'm sure novaks level would've dropped.

Revenge should be done on the same court and in the same tournament, buddy. Nadal could not avenge Melbourne's defeat in Melbourne.

[@beats4hobner]

Actually if you look at the multitude of winners being produced by Djokovic, you will notice that Nadal gave him the balls that were neutral, so Novak went for a winner. But Novak was able to stretch Nadal on almost every ball, so Nadal couldn't hit winners or return aggressively. Nadal goes for percentage play, Novak has the ability to hit the ball where it can create maximum damage.

[@dkfrugoefdei]

And to think that this was the only grand slam final that Nadal lost in 3 sets, only Djokovic could beat him that way.

[@atubeyouare3221]

Nadal's heavy looping topspin shots, especially his forehand, are actually a disadvantage against Djokovic, who plays the angles better than Nadal and can hit with less loop and thus more direct. Nadal's heavy topspin shots, even if hit at sharp angles, often land short and always bounce high enough to give Djokovic a chance to be closer to the baseline and force Nadal further behind it. Simply observed, a much higher percentage of Nadal's groundstrokes land around the service line whereas more of Djokovic's land deeper, closer to the baseline.
