As is often the case on MTF, as soon as a Slam final ends, every thread gets inundated with the same old mindless GOAT debate drivel, Dull needs to win outside clay, Faker needs to get to within 1/2 of Dull, Dull doesn't have YEC, Fraud has losing H2H, Faker is an asshole, Dull is a buttpicker, etc etc etc. If you are the kind of person who insists on indulging in this repetitive crap, please leave this thread now. Just wanted to make a discussion post for some remarkable Nadal stats after this final today. I'll post some, feel free to add other relevant stats and discuss them.
Nadal now has:
999 career wins
100-2 at RG
13 RG
20 GS
4 Slams without dropping a set
4 RG without dropping a set
27-29 v/s Djokovic overall
10-6 v/s Djokovic at Slams
19-7 v/s Djokovic on clay
First man to win Slams with a 15-year gap (2005 RG---2020 RG)
Youngest man to reach 20 Slams
Today also saw the 2nd ever bagel in the Djodal rivalry. The first bagel was in their 55th match, and the second in their 56th. Djokovic also joined the other Big 3 with the dubious distinction of having eaten a bagel in a Slam final. Today is also the fewest games Djokovic has ever won in a Slam final, and second fewest among the Big 3, after Federer at RG 2008. Federer and Djokovic are the only two top seeds at a Slam to have eaten a bagel in the final.
Discuss.
