The Nadalix risk being confused during their next debate on the identity of the GOAT of tennis. Yes, in a long interview given to the Madrid newspaper AS, in which he also warns that he could retire next year, the Mallorcan himself resolved the question that has been bothering us for years.
And the answer will not please his fans. Although, they can reassure themselves by saying that their colt is only based on the number of grand slam victories (24 for the Serbian, 22 for Nadal and Federer), which, it must be said, remains a given among many others when judging the mark that an athlete leaves in the history of his sport. Despite everything, for our part, we had already decided the question, at the risk of attracting the wrath of the Spanish and Swiss.
Very classy Nadal (for a change)
“I believe that numbers are numbers and statistics are statistics. In this sense, I think that it [Djokovic] has better numbers than mine and that is indisputable,” said the Spaniard in an interview published Wednesday in the columns of AS.
” It’s the truth. The rest are tastes, inspirations, sensations that one or the other can transmit to you, so that you like one or the other more, the King of Roland was keen to clarify. I think when it comes to titles, Djokovic is the best in history and there is nothing to discuss about that. […] I congratulate him on everything he accomplishes and it doesn’t cause me any frustration. »
