Journalist
Passionate about sports, cinema and television (on screen and behind) since his childhood, Bernard has been a journalist for 10 Sport since 2018. More skilled with a keyboard in his hand than with a ball at his feet, he decides to mainly cover a sport that is both adored, criticized and hated (football) and a sport that is not one (wrestling).
While they have made tennis history over the past twenty years, the debate still rages among fans to determine the GOAT (greatest of all time) between Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. The latter’s uncle has given his analysis on this thorny question.
Last September, Novak Djokovic entered a little more into the history of his sport by winning a 24th Grand Slam title, widening the gap with Rafael Nadal and his 22 coronations. Enough to allow him to take the lead in the eyes of some observers in the debate of the GOAT of tennis. For several years, the question has raged among tennis fans, while Roger Federer is also competing for this honorary title. Asked by Euronewsthe uncle of Rafael Nadal does not put the Spaniard at the top of the ranking.

“The best is Novak Djokovic”
« The one who played the best was Roger Federer. The best was Novak Djokovic. In duration and because Djokovic won more titles than the others “, judge Tony Nadalwho does not forget his nephew: ” Who could be the best without the injuries? My nephew, Rafa, but he was injured a lot. And, finally, the best is Djokovic, but in my opinion, what I saw on the court when Federer was playing, nobody has ever done it.. »
“Federer has transcended his sport more than anyone else”
This is not the first time that Tony Nadal salutes the level of Roger Federer. « He transcended his sport more than anyone else.he declared last year toClay Tennis. To determine who is the best, we should start by establishing clear rules that are always a bit subjective. Because who is the best: the one who holds the world record or the one who wins the Olympics? I don’t know. I think the one who has managed to play at a better level and do more difficult things is Federer, the one who has won the most is Djokovic and if we had to count all the games that Rafael has not played due to injuries, he would probably have won more than the others.. »
