Rafa vs Roger is a very special one. Enjoy it as long as it lasts

Federer may be your greatest rival but Djokovic is your dominator.

Sandeep, 28-25 for Novak in H2H and did you see AO final, so what are you smoking.

Grandslams are to be taken into consideration as it brings out the best in the players. Nadal has a complete stranglehold in French 6-1. He has crushed and battered Djokovic at French every time. If not for Nadal's injury, Djokovic would have never won the French open. He leads the h2h in US open too. 28-25 is not a domination. It's an even rivalry but Nadal has the edge because he has subdued Djokovic in grandslams 9-6. Djokovic has accrued his wins by winning the insignificant masters 500 and 1000 tournaments to improve his h2h. Compounding to it,Nadal's form in 2015 and 2016 have diminished quite significantly owing to injury and note that they have met a lot of times when Nadal is well below 100% and Djokovic was at his peak. So,what are you smoking Mr. bastion?

Federer and Nadal both have a greater fan base than Djokovic as well. I think that burns him more than anything.

The rivalry is the most enjoyable to watch. They both fear an in form 2019 Djokovic especially since he said that he was gunning for RF's GS records. Djokivic is the biggest threat to beat Nadal at Roland Garros this year.

Yeah Federer is his biggest rival, because he’s no rival for Djokovic

Laurelle Van Kay, what are you smoking? It's 9-6 in grandslams. Grandslams are the most significant tournaments and not an inconsequential ATP 1000. Nadal slayed Djokovic in US open twice. He is leading 2-1 there. Nadal thrashes Djokovic in French open as well. Their battles at AO and Wimbledon have gone to 5 sets almost Everytime. Dominator it seems. LMAO.

Sandeep, Novak has 7 AO, Nadal 1. Novak 6 ATP finals titles, Nadal a zero. Nadal absolutely nowhere in these stats. See, I can also play with stats to suit me, like you are doing.

What, suddenly M1000 doesn't count in your eyes, you just ignore it? Laughable. Here is the fact: Novak 28-25 H2H at this stage, live with it. It could change again in the future, but not now.

Fact is, it pains Nadal to acknowledge that Novak has caught up with him and is better in their rivalry now. Therefore he goes to Fed as his rival, because he leads him in H2H.

And a pleasure to watch.

Can't wait for the rivalry to resume. Fedal?

Yeah boi

At doctorate Bastion LOL .?

That is very , very fun one Bastion.lol..

No one is scared of anyone...

Wow Nadal just pulled out. Federer gets a walk over. Wow I feel sorry for all those people who paid those High ticket prices to see the game today. Smh

000cassandra that will continue to be true even after there gone from the game...that contributes in my opinion to his brash ways especially when facing either Rafa or Rog ... they have a stranglehold on the fandom or fans love its not even close how much the average to real fans around the world view of them vs nole

The fact that Novak must play against not only the two legends themselves, but also against those legends fan(atic)s screaming at him and hating him, makes his H2H against them even more astonishing and well deserved. Legendary stuff, and yes, he also has fans all over the world who loves him dearly. Stop the hate.

I think the pain is in Rafa's knee.

Whats going on? My apps show federer retired but won? Espn shows nadal won.
