ATP - Rafael Nadal

[Sarafa]

Mare mnogo trazi, rekoh jednu
Ali setih se da me i Majami mnogo nervira, tako da bi moglo i to
Pariz i WTF i zaboravim da se igraju, toliko su mi nebitni

[MareLFC]

Pa ne trazim GS
2 mastersa i WTF, bez GSa

[colchonero]

Hajde taj WTF nekako ove godine, kad su svi vec zapeli(po meni precenjen turnir). Sto se tice Bersija i Majamija, daj nek uzima on nove GS pusti Majami.

Potuno zasluzeno, cak lako.

Cestitke.

Rafa Nadal can compete at the top level for years to come if he managed to stay healthy, his coach Carlos Moya has said after the Spaniard won two grand slams titles this year.

Former world number one Moya joined Nadal's coaching team to work alongside his uncle Toni Nadal in December last year and has helped revitalise the 31-year-old Spaniard's career.
Plagued by injuries and a loss of form in the past two years, Nadal has risen to number one in the rankings and won his 10th French Open title and third U.S. Open this year. He lost to his great rival Roger Federer in the Australian Open final.

"If he can stay as healthy as he is now, without injury, motivated, looking after himself the way he is, we will be talking about Rafa for years to come," Moya told the ATP Tour website.

"He is a player who broke records as a teenager and who is now breaking them as a veteran as well. This is something we haven't see much in the history of tennis.

"When I joined the team I knew that there was much more to come for Rafa, that if he stayed injury free and continued training with the same motivation, desire and confidence, that the tennis would come."

Moya, who shares a close friendship with Nadal, said nothing about his compatriot would surprise him anymore.

"...He always gives the best of himself. We are talking about one of the greatest players in history and, as such, my faith in him is rock solid."

Rafael Nadal vs Novak Djokovic H2H record
•Total: 24-26
•Clay: 15-7
•Hard: 7-18
•Grass: 2-1

What these stats suggest regarding? That Rafa is as good a player if not better, outside clay as Novak is outside hard courts. Even on their respective favourite surfaces, Rafa’s stats are better. According to the fact that Nadal was injured in his career more than any BIG FOUR player, his stats are truly amazing. Just imagine if he was not injured. Novak H2H record is a little bit better, but this is not a sufficient argument to prove that Nole is better.


Rafa Nadal vs Novak Djokovic career statistics are very similar in general and on and off their favourite surface, but I think that 16 Grand Slam titles of Nadal and 10 titles and Roland Garros prove that he is the better player.

1.
Kad zavrse karijeru znacemo ko je bolji igrac. U ovo trenutku vodi Nadal.

2.
10 RG je najfantasticniji uspjeh u istoriji tenisa. Recimo da bi 7-8 uzastopnih GS-ova to nadmasili.

3.
Nadalovi rezultati na sljaci su jednostavno nevjerovatni. On je bitno bolji od Borga.

4.
Znajuci ogranicenja koja ima, Nadalovi uspjesi na drugim podlogama su vrlo impresivni. Oni pokazuje koliki je sampion.

5.
Medjutim boldovani dio nije tacan.

O open eri igraci sa najvecim postotkom pobjeda na hardu su rangirani ovako:

	Igrac	%
1	Novak	84.2
2	Federer	83
3	Connors	82.8
4	Lendl	82.1
5	McEnroe	80.4
6	Sampras	80.2
7	Agassi	79
8	Murray	78.9
9	Edberg	78.4
10	Becker	77.9

Nadala nema ni u prvih 10.

Ista statistika na sljaci izgleda ovako:

	Igrac	%
1	Nadal	91.7
2	Borg	86
3	Lendl	81.1
4	Vilas	80.2
5	Novak	80
6	Connors	77.6
7	Clerc	77.4
8	Năstase	77.3
9	Wiland.	77.13
10	Orantes	77.08

Novak je peti. Osjetno ispred trostrukih osvajaca RG-a kao Wilander i Kuerten ili izvanrednog sljakasa kao Muster. A tek malo iza velikana sljake Vilasa. Novak bi imao nekoliko Rg-ova da nije bilo Nadala.

Naravno i ova statistika pokazuje da je Nadal nevjerovatan na sljaci, prica za sebe.
