The Spaniard explained why he chose the Serbian as the GOAT of the yellow ball.
Who is the best tennis player in history? That question, although very specific, has many answers. The most curious thing is that all this is valid, because there is no unified criterion to define the greatest of all time. Many sports fans and experts put Roger Federer above all others, others pay tribute to Rafael Nadal or even Novak Djokovic.who recently won his 24th Grand Slam and went down in history.
In an interview, Rafael Nadal was asked a blessed question. but in a slightly different way. Speaking to the Spanish media ACELa Fiera had to talk about comparisons exist between him and Novak Djokovicbecause the Serbian recently became the US Open champion and, therefore, has two Grand Slam advantages over the Mallorcan, who is 22 years old.
Nadal’s response was very detailed and not wasted. “I believe that numbers are numbers and statistics are statistics, and in that sense, I think he has better numbers than me and that is indisputable. I don’t throw any rings or have enough of an ego to try to hide a fact that isn’t true. This is the truth”declared the winner of 14 Roland Garros.
Then he added: “The rest are tastes, inspirations, sensations that one or the other may convey to you, that you may prefer one or the other. In my opinion, as far as titles are concerned, Djokovic is the best in history and there is no arguing about that. Then, as usual, everyone can piece together the story as they like, saying that I suffered a lot of damage. Unlucky for me or unlucky that I had this way. “He’s had another one and in some ways that’s part of the sport.”.
To close the topic, he explained: “Congratulations on all you have achieved and that does not cause me any kind of disappointment. I said it when I won the most Slams, I said it when we were tied and I say it now that I’m behind. I will not strive, through a personal struggle, to want to be what I am not. What is, is and what is not, is not. I say that I am very satisfied with everything I have done.”.
