      It's Djokovic who is the GOAT. But he is not my fav. For me it's Nadal in clay and Federer in other surfaces. Nadal and Federer never took extended toilet breaks when their opponents were winning, never started press conference after losing saying "I was not at my best today" or "nothing worked for me" to steal the credit of the opponent, did not break racquet or "Accidentally" hit ball boys, and do not have a toxic dad and fan base who attack anyone who criticise Djokovic and anyone who deny the GOAT title to Djokovic.

    Andy Roddick's tribute to Rafa is moving and can bring a tear.
    These Rafa records are likely to stay in the dimension of time:
    1. Rafa did not break a single racquet.
    2. Respect for one and all and ludicrously humble even when no one's looking. Jon Werthiem finds it staggering, otherworldly.
    3. Apologising for winning a Grand Slam. Remember the genuine compassion for Roger at AO 2009? It cannot be replicated, not even in a film or a cartoon strip.
    4. Lost 4 years to injuries. 16 chances to have amassed at least half of them if not more. Yet ends up just 2 short of Novak's 24.
    5. Perhaps his tennis academy could be unmatched in terms of nourishing human values in sport.
    As Andy Roddick said at the end of his tribute. Rafa, we love you.

      Djokovic also could have easily won more GS than he has : couldn't compete in OA 2022, Wimbledon 2020, several US open because of the covid situation... And everytime, he was the favourite. Everyone has excuses but in the end the guy with the best results is the goat. And if Nadal is injured too often, it's a sad fact but he simply cannot be considered as the best.

    I got Rafa's autograph in Cincy 2011. I'll never forget that moment. There will never be another Rafa. Even just isolating the practice session, nobody practiced like him, not even close. The intensity was unmatched and the fact that his body held up to even the brutal practice sessions is a testament to his athleticism.

Due to nearly seven years of saving the amount that would have been our house payment and maxing out our 401(k) and 403(b) plans, we were able to retire early. Fortunately, both of our parents instilled in us the need of living within our means. I appreciate your advice. I'm confident it will benefit others.

    The 2009 AO to me was the best Rafa has ever played aside from 2008 FO. The matches against Verdasco and Federer are legendary

    So much heartbreak for Rafa in Australia... but 2022 made up for it all!!
