      Federer vs Nadal and Djokovic vs Federer are great in their own right, but I'd have to agree with you here. The only thing holding it back is the predictability of Nole vs Rafa on clay and hard in recent years. It is too predictable these days and you just no the clay king and hard king will beat each other on their favorite surfaces.

    Hey Tahmid! Welcome back 🙂
    Great analysis as always, I feel like Novak is going to take the record for most Masters 1000 tournaments. He's always going to be the favorite in hard courts, and given that 6/9 Masters 1000s are contested in hard court, he'll have a much better chance than Rafa to grab the record. Also, I really hope Karatsev keeps up his level & qualifies for World Tour Finals this year.
    As far as this year's RG goes, the only player who can possibly defeat Rafa is none other than Novak. That Rome final was very close (out of 191 points in that match, Novak won 94 & Rafa won 97). His backhand, return of serve, depth he's getting on the ground strokes is insanely good. I wish Rafa clinches this year's RG. I know many people get bored of watching the same player win again & again, but not me. The prospect of being next to invincible at Philippe Chatrier & tying the record of Samprass with RG alone is astounding, and I want to see it come true. Fingers crossed & hoping for Rafa to get it done!

    Outstanding video as always. You’ve been gone for awhile so it’s good to see you back.
    Not sure that Rafa and Novak are into winning too many more masters 1000 events. I’ll give them both 42 by the end of their careers. Rafa has really never been into the weeks at number one race. Novak doesn’t care about that anymore now that he has the record. Therefore I think majors and year end number ones will be the goals that they shoot for from this point forward. Roger will soon be left behind.
    Rafa is the obvious favorite at Roland Garros. Nevertheless Tsitsipas, Zverev and Djokovic will be tough to beat. You can end up with a weak side of the draw if Rafa ends up on Novak’s side. Roland Garros should adopt a clay court formula. This will upset Novak fans the way we Rafa fans get upset every year at Wimbledon.
    Again welcome back young man. As you stated in the past your schedule is very busy. Therefore thanks for taking the time to make this video. 👍

    Hi Tahmid! You have to wonder if this could be Federer's last year now because what happens after Covid rankings? I mean, I think he continues longer in order to break Connors' two big records, but still. Unless Fed picks up around 2000 points from grass events and some smaller tournies, he will be nowhere in the rankings by the year's end. I hope he stays up there, but he could easily draw and go out to a tough player in an early round of RG or Wimby and that could be that.

    Djokovic never makes excuses, but anybody who thinks that Djokovic was as fresh and energized as Rafa is deluding himself. Djokovic played 5 hours of very physically and mentally draining tennis the day before, and he was naturally not going to be as energized or fresh as Nadal. I am not saying that Djokovic would have won, but the fact that he lasted two and a half sets against Nadal under the circumstances is impressive. I think both old timers will be very confident heading into Roland Garros, and barring a major upset or injury, they will meet again at the French Open, hopefully in the final, assuming they are on opposite sides of the draw.

    To be honest, the Rafa-Novak rivalry had become really dull. Rafa hasn't lost on clay since 2017 and Novak hasn't lost on hardcourt since 2014. in fact, it had been becoming more and more one-way traffic - Novak thrashed Rafa at AO19 and Rafa returned the favour at RG20. However, Rome this year saw the first really competitive match between the 2 since Rome 16 when Novak beat Rafa on clay (not counting Wimbledon 18 - grass). I really hope Novak continues this upward trend against Rafa on clay and Rafa turns a corner against Novak on hardcourt.
    I was surprised by Medvedev's performance on clay. Not sure if his COVID infection had anything to do with it, but he looked poor. I expected him to go to QFs despite the tough draws.

  • @jacobschmidt2709
    @jacobschmidt2709 3 года назад +3

    Speaking of numbers, I got some myself. While Djokovic and Federer have dominated to some extent at their favorite slams, there are several differences. Let's take a look at the winners of the AO, Wimbledon and the French Open since 2005 for arguments sake.
    Australian Open Winners since 2005:
    05- Marat Safan
    06- Roger Federer
    07- Roger Federer
    08- Novak Djokovic
    09- Rafael Nadal
    10- Roger Federer
    11- Novak Djokovic
    12- Novak Djokovic
    13- Novak Djokovic
    14- Stan Wawrinka
    15- Novak Djokovic
    16- Novak Djokovic
    17- Roger Federer
    18- Roger Federer
    19- Novak Djokovic
    20- Novak Djokovic
    21- Novak Djokovic
    Consensus- A total of 8 winners outside of Novak
    Wimbledon Champions since 2005:
    05- 07- Roger Federer
    08- Rafael Nadal
    09- Roger Federer
    10- Rafael Nadal
    11- Novak Djokovic
    12- Roger Federer
    13- Andy Murray
    14- 15- Novak Djokovic
    16- Andy Murray
    17- Roger Federer
    18-19- Novak Djokovic
    Consensus- A total of 7 winners outside of Roger Federer
    Nadal Open winners since 2005:
    05- 08- Nadal
    09- Federer
    10-14- Rafael Nadal
    15- Stan Wawrinka
    16- Novak Djokovic
    17- 20- Nadal
    Consensus- A total of three winners outside of Nadal.
    As you can see, since 2005, there have been over double the winners at the AO outside of Nole and Wimbledon outside of Roger than at the FO respectively. To add to that:
    - Despite Federers and Djokovics dominance and being the favorites, they always had competition and you felt like there was a chance they could lose. In contrast, there is a bigger gap between Nadal and other players on clay and therefore less competition than Federer and Djokovic had to face on their preferred surfaces. You just rarely feel a player can realistically beat Nadal in a clay best of five. This results in too much predictability and is not a good thing for tennis fans in general
    - Those few times that he legit could lose, he has always had luck favor him time and time again. 2013 semis net touch and bad calls by Pascal Maria, Nole being food poisoned in 2014, Feds loss in 06 Rome, Being saved by rain in 2018 vs Schwartzman, Thiems unfair scheduling 2019, Thiem 2.0 burning out in 2020, etc.
    - For whatever reason, clay and especially Roland Garros were tailormade for Nadals game. From his extreme topspin that works perfectly on those courts, his ability to run down everything, to him being such a freak of nature as an athlete, to his mental toughness, provides the perfect storm for him to have a huge gap over everybody
    - Despite Djokovic being a better all-around player and having similar mental strength to Nadal(which both cancel out), it is the advantageous conditions for the Spaniard that will always put Nadal over the top and provide predictable matches. This is why the French Open is much more boring as opposed to the other slams imo.

    • @agentahmed7350
      @agentahmed7350 3 года назад +2

      Oh please, spare me the 'luck' argument. Do you want me to mention every time Rafa has been unlucky as well in his career?
      He had an ankle injury that forced him to miss FO, WB & Olympics in 2004. A very possible GS and even medal missed out on.
      He also had bad scheduling in Wimby 07 due to bad weather and may have cost him the title that year.
      In 2009, his parents splitting up give him personal issues. Then he had a bad throat and didn't feel well at FO 2009, which meant Roger finally could complete the Career Slam. Not to mention also a knee injury that forced him to miss defending his Wimbledon title. Then, he got injured in the abdomen in USO 09. So that's basically a whole year of titles he potentially missed out on, even though he just broke Federer's dominance over the previous year.
      He then got injured during AO in 2010 & 2011 especially, where he was going for 4 GS in a row. And just when you think Federer is a bit on the decline, the rest of 2011 & AO 2012 happen, and Rafa has to now deal with a new competitor for his whole prime basically.
      But this is possibly the worst. When Rafa can become only the 3rd man and the youngest ever to win the Double Career Slam at only 27 years old, he gets a back injury and loses AO 2014 to Wawrinka, a man who he never dropped a set to prior to this event, and who he has only dropped sets to him in matches he has lost to Stan (7 sets in 3 matches).
      He could easily have been confirmed GOAT before turning the age of 30. But unfortunately, if, if, if doesn't exist...
