I mean, isn't it a wash?
You won ONE more match out of nearly 60 freaking matches. That's NOT a winning H2h - at least with respect to insertion into your claim to be a GOAT.

Take ND out of it, for a moment.
And take RN out of it --- for another moment.
If.....ANY.....two players....IN ALL OF TENNIS HISTORY....had 59 meetings with each other,
30-29 in favor of either one of them WOULD ALWAYS BE LITERALLY THE CLOSET POSSIBLE H2H SCORELINE
for their rivalry...no?
So, how much can it really mean for ( putting them back in ) ND vs RN, or any other pair of players?

Seconded Gary.It a ridiculous way to claim Goatness. Way too slim a margin. I don't get how the pundits got sucked into buying into this. There is a moronic men's tennis forum site where a group of fans hurl insults at each other over this topic and even have Alcaraz as the future Goat.

Novak leads Roger 27-23.
In no fewer than 3 of Novak's 27 wins, he had to stave off double-match point --- twice on Roger's serve.
So...change 3 INDIVIDUAL POINTS in their rivalry and Roger would be up 26-24 H2H and at least 21-19 in Slams.
