On the hard courts in general their record is 20-7 in favour of Djokovic. On clay the record is 20-8 in favour of Nadal.

The grand slam record is cos of the French Open weighting. If most of their meetings happened in Aus Open Djokovic would have had the edge as well.

Djokovic is the GOAT. He has won more iverall and heats Nadal in overall H2H apart from their French Open weighted grand slam record.
GOATs are determined by grand slam’s performances, more so, performances in finals.
That’s what the greats reserve their form and energy for.
As it stands, Nadal leads Joker H2H in grand slam finals, also leading him on a hard court surface, that’s to prove that when Nadal puts his mind to it, he can rival him on HC(US open 2013) and destroy him on clay.

Definitely Joker has an edge over any or player at Ausie, though Nadal almost won last time they met.

It’s debatable whether Joker is the Goat, considering he got most of his slams against Murray, Wawrinka, Thiem…

Good or bad idea?
It is Good and Bad,
Good in the sense of any region that wants Nigeria to disintegrate through secession and bad for those who still want one Nigeria.

I agree it's debatable but for now Djokovic is winning the debate. You can't be using putting his mind to it as an excuse. My personal favourite is Federer anyway. I just thank Ahura Mazda for bringing Djokovic to save us from a Nadal domination. Tennis is one of the few sports that is lucky to have the obvious GOAT contenders in one era so it makes comparison easier.

The record is 8-2 for Nadal in the French Open but 5-3 for Djokovic in the other 3 combined. Djokovic has beaten Nadal in ALL the grand slams. Nadal has not beaten Djokovic in all of them. Djokovic has won the most grand slams, spent the most weeks at No1, most years at No 1, most big titles, most Masters titles, most ATP finals.

5-3 is not decisive, but 8-2 is, so Nadal is beasting him on clay and almost drawing the other surfaces

The rest of the bolded can be put down to injury plus Djokovic has had a clear run to amass stats in the last couple of years whereas Nadal was battling with Federer and Djokovic his whole career

Why won't he start having injuries when he was doing pass his power to keep up with Cyborg Djokovic.

Nadal his Clay GOAT. More than half of his grand slam titles are on clay in the French Open. If not that we have forgiving spirit we would call that stat padding but because we have forgiving spirit we won't. Djokovic is more balanced in his dominance and he has won more, and he pushed Nadal to the point that even his chi had to give up the ghost. cheesy

President Bola Tinubu secures landmark deal with United Arab Emirates across sectors; Visa ban on Nigerian travellers is lifted immediately.

Furthermore, by this historic agreement, both Etihad Airlines and Emirates Airlines are to immediately resume flight schedules into and out of Nigeria, without any further delay.

Additionally, President Tinubu is pleased to have successfully negotiated a joint, new foreign exchange liquidity programme between the two Governments, which will be announced in detail in the coming weeks.

Yeah. That one go tough. Even till now many people will say Ayrton Senna is the GOAT. Others will give Schumacher. For an individual sport there are too many variables involved. That reason you gave is why sometimes a driver will win 1-2 titles sometimes but won't get the respect because people know it is majorly the car.

Novak has just one more grand slam and he won most of them against lower opponents. Ronaldo Euros trophy and more champions league league titles makes up for his lack of world cup.

Ucl= white meat
WC= brown meat
Euro/copa= red meat
nation league/finallisima= blue meat

Player A have eaten all these meats once, cr7 have eaten all but Brown meat
Because cr7 have eaten white meat multiple time it mean he has gotten a taste of brown meat
How does this make sense, i no understand how una they always complicate common sense matter
How does winning multiple ucl translate to World cup the biggest trophy in football

You are the ones complicating everything. The Euros is at a similar level to the World cup. Messi has the World cup and 3 champions league. Ronaldo has the Euros and 5 champions league.

Even C. Ronaldo would give up at least 2 Champions League trophies to get just 1 World Cup trophy.
