I'm a Rafa fan. However, I think hands down, Djokovic is by far the most well spoken, thoughtful and most interesting player to speak about tennis. His intelligence abslutely shines through. Must respect to this man.
More like GOATdals greatest punching bag 😂😂😂😂 GOATdal made a lot of fools cry but he made Weakvak Crybabyovic so many time 😂😂😂😂 I will miss seeing GOATdal pimp slapping him 😂😂😂
Until 2014, at the age of 28 and before the injury that kept him out for two years, Rafa had 14 grand slam tournaments to Djokovic's 7, that is, twice as many. And he dominated the direct duels by 23 to 19. At the time of splendor of both, in their twenties. He also dominated the duels against Roger. Memory is short. Then the injury ordeal and Nole inflating to add GS tournaments from 2015 onwards, with Rafa fighting with his knees. There is no denying that the Serb has managed to fake history very well. The best Rafa is undoubtedly the best ever.
@@OriolVilalta nole has a winning heas to head against dopal, injury prevention is a thing and there is a reason why nole spends more time on his body then anyone and it's called longevity
Novak is just that guy. He is bluntly honest and you can tell he is speaking from the heart. He understands that his sucess was also driven by desire to surpass the two legends and becomes legend himself, and maybe if he didnt have them as rivals he would never reach his greatness himself. They all pushed each other and you can tell how much respect he has for them. True sportsmanship I appreciate
@@MariaSilva-ix1qcThere is probably not much difference between the biggest bully of the game and his accomplice. Why bother to answer this dumb question? 😂
Novak speaks frankly and honestly. I started supporting him in 2011 when he beat Roger in the semis of the US and beat Rafa in the final. That was a Herculean task. That takes some doing.
Novak Djokovic é o MAIOR tenista da história em tudo, seja em números, em títulos, em mentalidade, em força física ou em superação. O cara simplesmente tem TODOS os títulos possíveis e impossíveis.
WORLD - LISTEN It's time to recognise Novak's GREATNESS on and off the court ❤....Stop publishing bulshit about Novak, stop HUMILIATING him Western media. Start enjoying THE LAST MAN STANDING
That's why Nole is the greatest for me, you can't hear anything like this from Rafa and Federer, the man speaks from his soul, there is no place for him to act, No1e 😀
I can't imagine how much Novak would have hated Rafa for existing during the clay court season. 8-2 at Roland garros. That's like 8 titles lost just to one man. But to keep going and improving to try again the next time is what greatness is about. Novak embodies that!❤
Maybe not all 8, but at least 5... For me if Nadal didn't existed, Djokovic could finish his career with more Roland Garros titles than Wimbledon titles. Nadal truly made him work on that surface and Djokovic struggled a lot through his career.
Novak is displaying total class here. Everyone, stop ragging on him. I am not fan of his but have admire him for his achievements. It is no contest when it comes the GOAT contest. Novak is the greatest ever. His record is insanely impressive.
Being a GOAT, is not just about numbers - character is everything and this man has got everyone who adores him fooled. He’s a complete narcissist in every way. Formidable player, undeniable, but fails in the human aspect. The wise see through him
@@Bmarker299 Ps the Goat is not a recognised title , how to score has not been agreed upon. Until then it’s as Novak himself just said "it’s hard to say". But you will now say he is just being humble .
Rafa- Djoker greatest rivalry ever in sports. 60 matches with Djoker holding a slight edge.So many hard assed rallies! All respect to Chrissy-Martina who met many more times than that.
Rafa undoubtedly a great Champ the world of tennis has seen for so many years. Would be remembered with the golden words for the years ahead. Best wishes and prayers for Rafa and his family
He respects Rafa, because deep down, no matter what the numbers say he won't have what the others have and they won't have what he has. These guys are mature players at another level!
Never been one of Novak's biggest fan, but have always respected him as THE GOAT, and hearing these comments spoken by Novak on my fav player RAFA❤ I wish Novak all the very best in his personal life and Tennis in the future.
The Jokers answer is sincere and intelligent 'the best is hard to say… we were all so different'. Djokovic tribal fans; 'no you are wrong, Novak Djokovic‘ is the 🐐'
@@stephenglasse2743 ps , objective evidence has not been determined to be the only parameter- because it is not a title with predetermined rules and a score card. Others are entitled to have a say in how it is scored, not just fanatics ,
@@dowtingtomas.695 I totally agree with you that "others are entitled to have a say" but as Nadal admitted it's numbers and stats vs subjective criteria such as 'who you like' and 'how a player makes you feel' etc. On objective criteria Novak has won more slams more masters more weeks at #1 etc. Nadal's failure to win the year end finals is the nail in the coffin for his claim to GOAT status. Both Fed and Novak have won it multiple times yet nadal has never won the ATP finals and that is the hardest tournament to win
I really hope 15-20 years from now, the debate won’t be who’s the best tennis player of all time, but rather that no era of tennis will ever be as good as the big 3
One day Djoko says, the biggest challenge one can ever face in tennis is playing Nadal at Roland Garros. There is probably very few sport when one guy dominated so much. Nadal at RG is beyond anything ever imaginable...14! How on Earth is that even possible.
It’s only recently that he speaks nicely about Rafa all he ever wanted was to be better than nadal it’s all about what he won and how he beat him still it’s all over now for the three so their will always be arguments about whom was the best to me first federa second Rafa third Djokovic as the other two started the compition against each other and brought tennis to its best and the Noel followed along with the new generation now it’s up to sinner and Carlos to start the next trend good luck to them ❤❤
And most funny is all his dogs here on the comments calling him as gentleman respect bla bla bla to a rude abuser .. Ohhh P L E A S E who let the dogs out
He perfectly told why he overtook Nadal. Nadal's physical issues allowed him to do so. Top fit Nadal without physical issues and his speed when he was young, is the best tennis player of all times.
No it wasn't 😂😂😂😂 not even better than Federer. Nadal's best season was 2010, when he won 3 grand slams than year and won only 5 big titles. Do you know how many big titles did Federer won in 2004???? 7. Do you know how many titles did Federer won in 2006?? 8. Do you know ho many big titles he won in 2007?? 6. And now let's look at Djokovic. Djokovic in 2011 defeated in semi-finals and finals Murray and Federer at Australia Open, than in semi-finals he lost against Federer at Roland Garros. Than at Wimbledon he defeated Murray in semi-finals and Nadal in finals. Than at US Open he defeated Federer in semi-finals and Nadal in finals. Those are victories over Nadal twice, Murray twice and Federer 3 times. All at grand slams. But chexk this out. Djokovic won 8 big titles that year which means he won 5 masters titles to Nadal's 2 in 2010. And not only that, but he defeated Nadal twice on clay in finals and his 4/5 finals at those masters tours were against Nadal and he defeated Nadal all those matches. Djokovic's record against Nadal in 2011 was 6-0. That was 2nd best Nadal's season in big finals after 2013. He played total of 8 big finals in 2011 and won 2 bif titles. That was literally Nadal in his peak. And guess what??? 2011 was Djokovic's 2nd best season. In 2015 Djokovic won 3 grand slams, reaching finals at all of them and won insanee 6 masters titles (like I said before, Nadal won only 2 in 2010) and Nitto ATP finals tour, tour that Nadal never won in his career. Peak Nadal waa never the greatest tennis player of all time. In fact Nadal was killing only on one surface and his peak on clay was way longer than few seasons. I can even argue that even Nadal in 2022 was in his peak because he killed everybody on clay and he also won Australia Open without Djokovic. He was never known as the best hard court player or grass court player. So your statement is horrible.
I think being 3rd wheel sometimes gives u a perspective the other 2 cant really give. Novak has a unique spot in tennis history in that regard and has beaten and lost to both them at different times over the last 20 years of their careers
This is over the top. Yeah Nadal was an ok player but nothing special, at least not to me anyway. I am so sick of people sipping up to the guy. It annoys me so much. To be honest, I can beat Nadal on my day and I'm not even a pro (although I could be if I wanted). Nadal is a try hard. That's it. If I practiced like every second of my life I would win like 100 grandslams. So NO I aint impressed.
Sometimes people are just saying stupid stuff. Nadal won 22 Grand Slams and 92 Tournaments in total in was over 100 weeks the World number 1 ranked player and made over 120 Millionen in price money alone. ...
