@Nelsonator9000@steva69420@nadalprop_ You have no doubt he wouldn’t have been fit enough to go against Medvedev?
Based on what, exactly? The 90-minute drubbing he’d have given Rafa in the semifinal?
@Nelsonator9000@nadalprop_ 😂 French Open 2016 and 2023, eh?
Wimbledon 2022?
And I am a little tired of the disrespect to
Stan Wawrinka over AO 2014. Rafa was up to his old tricks there, left the court without providing a reason.
@greggs_tn I actually disagree with this. Novak fans don't do anything worse than any other fan base, we just have more rival fan bases.
Nadal's fans are utterly vile.
@NickOgren@steva69420@xaviems7@nadalprop_ By the way, I didn’t question any of the injuries when you asserted that eight of the HC finals that Rafa didn’t reach somehow didn’t count. I just applied the exact same logic to Novak’s injuries and absences.
@NickOgren@steva69420@xaviems7@nadalprop_ Yes he was.
The fact that he performed to some extent despite being injured doesn’t mean he wasn’t injured.
Your question was “where was Novak?”, well, I explained it. He had one single defeat (to the mighty Wawrinka), rest of the time he was there to meet Rafa.
@NickOgren@steva69420@xaviems7@nadalprop_ So we're viewing Rafa's failed bids to reach HC finals through the lens of absence and injury ("possible finals appearances") but not Novak's?
Novak: AO 2022 & USO 2017 absent. USO 2019, AO 2009, AO 2017, injured.
That would mean Novak faced Rafa 5 times of a possible 6 finals.
