Rafael Nadal added another feather to his hat by winning the 2022 French Open beating Casper Ruud in the final. It was his record 14th French Open and 22nd Grand Slam title. It was also the first time he had beaten four Top 10 players en route to a Grand Slam victory and also the first time he had won the French Open without winning a clay-court title that season.
With that, Nadal has taken a 2 Majors lead over his rivals – Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic who are both locked at 20 Majors each. While Djokovic, given his age, can overtake Nadal, Federer is highly unlikely to win a major again. The GOAT debate among the Big 3 has stirred up again with different people giving different opinions.
Romanian former tennis player and businessman, Ion Tiriac talked about Nadal and called him the best of all time. He said that neither Djokovic nor Federer are on his level. He mentioned that the way he dominated Djokovic in the quarter-finals, you can’t compare it to others.
“Rafael Nadal is the best of all. Neither Novak Djokovic nor Roger Federer are at his level. Tiriac to say. “In the match against Djokovic, Nadal played very, very well. Beating World No. 1 Djokovic this way… No, Nadal is going to be World No. 1 forever. You can’t compare it. Neither with Federer, for me.
