@TheTennisLetter Numbers just don't do this man justice. He is so much more than just the number of trophies he's won. It's the way he fought for every point, in every situation, that "i'll never quit" mentality he showed in every match, even towards the end of his career. Thank you, legend!
@nadalprop_ For those commenting, bear in mind that there's a difference between BEST and MOST SUCCESSFUL. The latter can be quantified by trophies, the former is more subjective and harder to determine in a way where all people agree. So for the BEST, Rafa is in the discussion, definitively
@TheTennisLetter He is very intelligent in his answer. While some may make headlines with his victory over Rafa, smart people look at the context also. Yes, it's a great win for Alex, but also, he himself knows Rafa was nowhere near his best and sadly, will probably never be the player he was.
@TheTennisLetter He's the most successful, given his accolades. That's an objective way to assess his career vs the careers of his rivals.
Does that make him the greatest tho? First, people have to define greatness, as I'm sure different people would give you different answers. Debatable.
@n_abigail @MarcoWEsquivel @TheTennisLetter To me, dopers do it willingly to gain an advantage, which needs intent, which wasn't present here or more accurately, they couldn't prove it. Unless they can definitively prove she took the Roxadustat knowingly and willingly, she's not a doper in my book. Careless maybe.
@n_abigail @MarcoWEsquivel @TheTennisLetter Ok, we got that sorted. What I gathered from the court's ruling, is that she didn't take the substance knowingly or willingly, hence the shorter ban. Should she have checked and double-checked the product? Yes. Was it intentional? No.
