Rafael Nadal Declares Novak Djokovic as the Greatest Ever
In a recent interview, Rafael Nadal has acknowledged that Novak Djokovic is the greatest tennis player of all time. This comes after Djokovic surpassed Nadal’s tally of Grand Slam singles titles by winning his 24th at the US Open in 2023.
“I believe that numbers are numbers and statistics are statistics. Nadal admitted, “Djokovic’s numbers are stronger than mine. That’s a fact, no arguing about it.” “This is the truth.”
Nadal congratulated Djokovic on his achievements and expressed that he didn’t feel frustrated about losing his Grand Slam titles record.
“I’m happy for his success and it doesn’t bother me at all,” Nadal said, offering his congratulations.
Nadal believes Alcaraz, despite his youth, is Djokovic’s main rival. “Alcaraz was recently world number one. He’s the one I see challenging Djokovic.”
Despite losing his record of Grand Slam titles, Nadal is more than happy with what he has achieved in his career to date.
“I’ve always said this, whether I had the most wins before, when we were equal, or now when I’m not leading in Slams.” Nadal said, “I won’t force myself to be someone I’m not. I’m content with what I’ve achieved. Acceptance is key.”
Nadal’s declaration that Djokovic is the greatest ever is a significant one, coming from one of his biggest rivals. It is a testament to Djokovic’s incredible achievements and his dominance of tennis in recent years.
