Don't think it can purely be based on that.

Too many of Rafa's titles were on one niche surface for me to rank him above Fed.
I mean actually, Grass is the niche surface. If Grass was played on as much as the other two we’d have a whole different dynamic between the 3. (considering it was Fed’s best surface, whereas Nadal and Djokovic’s best surfaces were the popular ones)

Did he though?

His era can be argued to have started a bit before the other two.

But beyond that I still rate Fed over Rafa considering how many of Nadal's slams came on clay.
That is dominance in a particular surface, which Federer or Djokovic didn't do to Nadal's extent. It is not like minnow bashing.

Most wins at one Slam
AO : Novak
FO : Nadal
Wim : Federer

Federer has most wins at US Open as well.
Nadal has second most wins at US Open
Novak has second most wins at Wim & US Open

Really?

Toy think Australia has the same prestige as Flushing Meadows and the All England club in SW London?
The top players refused to tour Australian Open because of the travel and that was the reason for less prestige and this changed in 1990s.

dw, happens all the time. at some point it circles back.


This always surprised me considering Novak’s dominance in Aus. Djoker you choker.
Think Djoker was always just fitter and more ready at the start of the year?

Can't think of any other reason for his total dominance down under.

Being quicker than NY should have helped Fed more than him.

It isn't shunned, but it's still not on par with the other two.

Not sure where it ranks with Roland Garros.

As Novak fan, my favourite wins post his comeback
1. Wim 2019 : So much drama
2. AO 2023 : One year after his deportation
3. Olympic Gold : The missing link
4. FO 2023 : Third Calendar Slam
5. USO 2023 : Tied Nadal’s 4 USO
