I don't know what this was in response to, but yeah Djokovic is 30-29 h2h. I think these numbers are very kind to Nadal considering nearly half of their matches have been on clay; Nadal is 20-8 on clay overall and 9-22 on hard/grass.
He also had the benefit of playing a good chunk of these matches before Djokovic hit his prime. Djokovic was 7-16 before 2011 and 23-13 since. Pre-2011 he was 0-9 on clay, 5-5 on hard, 0-2 on grass. Since then he's 8-11 on clay, 15-2 on hard, 2-0 on grass. He's been holding his own on clay and 17-2 elsewhere (including 10 straight wins since 2013).
