Time to crown Novak the GOAT?

[Ricardo]

oh boy Djoker fans always have a way to disregard reality, i guess it makes them compatible with Djoker himself.......in control of the match when he was being hammered? and yeah, he was better than them at 23, how do you figure? if he was better, why did he wait that long to even out the h to h against Fedal? I wish Djoker fans would answer the questions.

 

[Ricardo]

At slams:

nole vs fed

ao, dioker 3-1
Fo, 1-1
W - djoker 3-1
Uso, 3-3

10-6 djoker overall in slams
Overall h2h 27-23 djoker

Nole vs rafa

ao 2-0 djoker
Fo 7-2 rafa
W 2-1 djoker
Uso 2-1 rafa

10-7 rafa overall in slams
Overall h2h 30-28 djoker


It’s interesting, we talk about djoker being a bad matchup for rafa? Heck, seems an even worse match up for fed!!!

in 3 of those slam matches, Fed was the one holding match points and choked. The other two never choked match points away against other big 3 members in slams. without the choking, Fed would STILL be ahead in both slams and overall. BTW even with Fed choking, Djoker only EVER got ahead when Fed was in his mid 30s. Mikey doesn't care about context, simple as that.

This didn't age well....

No, I think I said he was a "stronzo." It's not the same. And I'm happy to debate it with you.

English is not good enough for me to find a suitable word but that expression is very derogatory and very close to "asshole". You forget that Italian was an important language for Serbs. Even more than English until recently.

‎Nole is the emperor (The GOAT) of tennis whether you see it or not, agree or not.

It’s still just an opinion of yours, for obvious reasons.

As is mine about the notion of ND being a "stronzo," but, rather than rub salt into the wound, I will wait to see if @BratSrbin is even still around tomorrow, because seems that a lot of Novak fans just show up around the last 2 rounds of gloating time, and disappear when that doesn't happen.

 

[the AntiPusher]

No..is my answer and your post suggest that Rafa was nothing more than passing gas in the wind..( I don't have time to get into the weeds of this..maybe Moxie or Margaret may want to provide some valid stats to support the pro Nadal Goat argument)

Novak is only 11 months younger than Rafa..Rafa turn pro a few years earlier but was a pure threat to Roger. Pre 2010, Novak's numbers vs Federer and Rafa was abysmal at best. Novak lost ever final to Rafa pre 2010..(I think )

Roger's numbers were extremely extraordinary one sided against Novak..before he began leaving his Prime..

Again. There's a 3 headed GOAT...you fill in the rest.

21 in 21 didn't Happen for noOne. Just as with the game of Blackjack, the odds favor the casino (Father Time for all athletes) not the players.
This thread should be renamed the There's a 3 headed GOAT..it's karma for Novak and may be the will of the tennis Gods.

No sense in being greedy! Nole's won 3 of the 4 Slams 3 times now; just like Federer! So that's another record matched or surpassed! Everytime he plays he'll be extending his records! Novak's already getting the "" that "you are the GOAT!" Sascha said it after he defeated Nole at the Olympics and Danill said it in his acceptance speech after winning his 1 major!

Wait until Rafa kicks their ass again, they both will be saying the same words to him. Tennis players are always prisoners of the moment.
Until Roger or Rafa says, Novak your the GOAT , Novak is just another champion who is currently tied at the top of the GS titles list. Nothing more or nothing Less.

Well if I were Nole, I wouldn't wait for that to happen! The records will be added to his resume and taken from Fedal's as time goes on!

 

[Ricardo]

What’s with Novak’s fans needing to mouth off? The goat has some of the most despicable fans you can find

 

[monfed]

Time to crown fakervic as the biggest failure after his EPIC CYGS FAIL! Got brutally exposed by a nobody. Fake GOAT EXPOSED!

 

[Andy22]

Pretty sure Goats Don't go 3-6 us open on their favourite surface (Djokovic). and lose twice to real Goat Nadal on their favourite surface 2010, 2013 us opens meanwhile Djokovic has beaten Nadal at RG but both times was non finals matches.

 

[Andy22]

Djokovic didn't even win a set got destroyed by Nadal 2019 us open victim Medvedev in straight sets lol. How can Djokovic be Goat then Nadal has more titles than him on his Favourite surface us open 4-3 that's embarrassing for Djokovic. And he even lost to Murray on different surfaces in finals Nadal and Fakerer would never lost to Murray in a grand slam finals.

Leave it to a Nadal fan to come up with something to say to rub salt in that wound! At least Djokovic's been able to stay on court long enough to accomplish a lot more than his seniors at a younger age! Snack on that! He's already besting the old guys a year ahead of Nadal and 1/2 a decade sooner than the OLD GOAT (double meaning now)! You guys can pathetically try to undermine Djokovic, but a hundred years down the line you'll all look like FOOLS!

You do know I have Djokovic Co-Goat with Nadal so I'm not total hater just little bit maybe. if Djokovic wins wins 21th major at AO 22 I be happy to call him clear GOAT. Until than this is just Question how can Djokovic be Goat right now then he's 3-6 on his Favourite surface at the us open finals?.

 

[Andy22]

I actually drink Kahlua mostly at home Have lovely chilli chocolate Kahlua which you can't get over here and I drink that with Pepsi Maxx. If I go out I usually drink Jameson with 7up free lol or sometimes Captain Morgan's spiced rum and coke. Not your typical stout drinker here

Nadal still the Goat and sadly for you Federer 4th all time behind laver, Djokovic Nadal.

Here is the question I have. Moving forward, IF Nadal recuperates from his leg injury, are his chances of winning Roland Garos as good or better than Novak winning a HC Major in 2022.

Is that the only standby argument for Rafa? Mon Dieu; pretty much proves what I've been saying as his resume's so unbalanced in favor of clay!
