      @Jensen HARGREAVES Federer has the best public image for charity and stuff because he also commercialises himself for doing so (nothing wrong) Rafa and Novak do that too, but Rafa is the biggest gentleman in tennis history, never said anything bad about anyone, never threw a tantrum or anything like it. The GOAT tittle is debatable but the biggest role model and gentleman in this sport is Rafa by far and to me that's why he is the GOAT because there is more to it then on court results (which he also has)

Talk about records...Djokovic doesn't just eclipse all of Nadal's achievements (of course except clay which Nadal relies on) but also outperforms in terms of all surfaces. Throughout his career he has faced opposition from fanboys like you. More slams, weeks at #1 (doubled it in fact), he has 40 masters titles, has more year end titles and wins over Federer and Nadal. Now, you can go ahead and say that I am just spewing stats at you, so before you began your roid rage, I'll cram some facts up your ass. Djokovic has supported improved education in Serbia by direct donations and has a foundation with his wife to continue this. He also guided young players to play in the ATP Next Gen organization. Did you even muster up the energy to watch some of the interviews, events, etc. with the other ATP players? Novak has utmost respect to his opponents, and in general, he is an extremely charismatic and energetic person. So, outside of tennis and on the court, I don't see how he's simply racquet smasher that you describe him as.

Djokovic was a much later bloomer too and Ofc this doesn’t mean Federer can’t beat either of them these days (match point against Djokovic in Wimbledon 2019 for example) but it shows that he won most of his majors (15 or so) before Rafa (and then later Djokovic) truly started to dominate

But Medvedev was also in fantastic form and mentally in a great place, especially after coming from 2 sets and MP down vs FAA who himself had a great year. Rafa coming from 2 sets down vs a confident Medvedev was truly stunning given the circumstances. The tough 5 setter vs Shapo when Nadal won despite heat stroke. And being out for 5 months before.

Djokovic barely won against him in 2014 and 2015 when he was at the peak of his powers and Roger was constantly dealing with back injuries that prevented him from being consistent and last year a 38 years old Federer who beat Nadal in 5 sets in the semis took Nole to the fifht too with match points in favour and was naturally lacking stamina and energy in the end to finish it off.

Here, on clay, Nadal simply reaches the ball and that is why Djokovic made so many errors. He needed to push to hard. Don't really know what can anyone do to this guy on clay. You need some very special circumstances to beat him (e.g. Soderling had the best match of his life when he beat him). I don't see anyone beat him on clay, unless he is injured or gets really old (I estimate another 3-4 RollandGarros titles for Nadal)

    I can't believe I can say this, but I started playing tennis at the age of 15 specifically when Nadal upset Federer in the Semifinals and went on to win his first French Open.
    I was inspired because I never witnessed a player so razor-focused, hard-working, and who runs down every shot as if it's his last. Many players are inspired by Federer's ease, god-given talent, and grace in play. But for me, it was witnessing a player like Nadal who will work THOUSAND times harder than anyone else to win.
    I guess I shouldn't be surprised that, 16 years later, I would witness Nadal winning his 13th French Open to tie Federer for overall Grand Slams! So proud to say I grew up witnessing Nadal's greatness every step of the way :).

      Katherine Sparkes to have 20 GS when you are excellent on clay or grass is twice more difficult than to win on hard court. Not only that. To play on clay is the most difficult of the three as it requires much more technique, mental strength and strategy as you cannot rely so much on your service. That is why he is the best even if Federer has a more refined technique. That and because his injury struggles and his come backs and his humility and his attitude on and off court. Federer was playing tennis 5 years without facing an strong opponent. In fact, Rafa lost 2 Wimbledon Finals before he defeated him in 2008. Federer won one RG because Nadal was out with injury. It is like Thiem’s US open victory without the Top 3.

      @@leithbouacida2483 Mira bro, Djokovic con ganar dos Grandslams más ya llega a 20. Está más que sabido que va a llegar y los va a superar a todos, ya lo sabe todo el mundo del tenis, Rafa con perder contra Djokovic ayer ya quedó prácticamente fuera de la competencia, porque Djokovic no va a perder con Tsitsipas y va a ganar su Grandslam 19. No digas que ahora la competencia no es buena con esta NextGen que se viene. Y algo más, Djokovic como puede ser peor que Nadal y Federer cuando a ambos les gana en historial? También cabe decir que Djokovic fue número uno por más tiempo y eso que tiene 6 años menos que Roger, Djokovic sin duda no es humano.

    Almargo said it best "Rafa will win Roland Garros 40 years in a row... he'll be 65 and still be winning at Roland Garros". That was back in 2008. As a Rafa fan, I am so proud of his achievements. Everything was against him winning this year's tournament - he hadn't won a warm-up tournament leading into Roland Garros for the first time in his career, the cold, wet weather and heavy ball would neutralise his natural advantages, and the seemingly invincible Novak Djokovic who owns a winning record (29-26) over him would be too much for him to overcome.
    I just love how Rafa rises to the challenge and overcomes adversity each and every time. Yes, there's been some heartbreaking losses over the years but I am never disappointed in being his fan. When he loses, he accepts it and moves on and comes back even stronger.
