My son’s tennis teacher, who has coached a grand slam champion, believes the French Open is without question the most difficult major to win. If that is true, then doesn’t that make Rafael Nadal the indisputable GOAT? #rollandgarros#nadalvsdjokovic#RafaNadal
Although Roger played better generally, Novak was steadier in the breakers. Federer pounded him, but Djokovic was too flexible to break. Novak didn’t win. He wouldn’t be beaten. That is the essence of his tennis genius. @DjokerNole #federer https://t.co/3VnLVS9RMH
@TennisTalkDaily@DjokerNole Oh, Djokovic is definitely in front of Nadal in the GOAT rankings. Nadal’s unparalleled clay record distorts the picture, but he has won so little (when compared to RF and ND!) outside RG.
There was no clear victor here. At the same time, look at Novak’s record in Wimbledon finals against Roge Federer. 3-0. With the crowd always against him. To me, this means Novak has a better claim to goat status than Rafa. @DjokerNole#winbledon2019#federer#djokovic
