Rafael Nadal is just one game away from landing a huge blow in the GOAT race. In the event of victory, he would overtake Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer with 21 Grand Slam titles, while the Serb clearly seemed best placed to finish on top just a few weeks ago.
After the match, John McEnroe pointed out to Eurosport how few observers saw Rafael Nadal as capable of going all the way, while Nole took all the attention.
« It started with the resounding case of Novak Djokovic. Everyone was talking about him and the fact that he was the guy who was going to make history and break the record. Well they forgot to mention that Rafael Nadal was there”, said the American, still surprised and impressed by these legends.
« I don’t know what that means for tennis history, these guys are just amazing, and they keep proving it. »
