For Rafael Nadal It is impossible to guarantee who is the best tennis player in history, there are values that do not guarantee who can and who cannot get this label, but what he did point out was that the list is limited to three men.
Although he has not named names, it is obvious that he refers to his person, Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic.
“I think today is a discussion between three. All ratings have their credibility. Each one can put one thing in value above the others. All have arguments to place this title of best in history,” replied Nadal to express the question for DISK.
The Spanish winner of 22 Grand Slams will then play against Casper Ruud in the Plaza de Toros México at the end of a tour of Latin America which has visited countries such as Argentina, Ecuador, Colombia and Brazil.
Among the many decorations that Rafa held are those already mentioned 22 Grand Slamsmore than any other, two Olympic gold medals, 36 Masters 1000, 23 ATP 500 and 10 ATP 250, but not even with that does he stand out from the others in black and white sport.
“It’s not something that makes me lose sleep, I think the three of us finally managed to surpass our dreams and now this is all more about you (press) than ours. Somehow in our own way with our titles, our results in different tournaments we have managed to take the historical achievements of our sport to a higher level,” she added.
On the other hand, Nadal stressed that he really appreciates playing in Mexico, a place where he doesn’t feel like a foreigner at all.
“When I’m inside Mexico I don’t feel like a stranger, I don’t feel like a stranger. When you are in a country where the same language is spoken and so many things unite us. When I get here I feel a bit like home. People have always been spectacular. Mexico is a country that knows how to have fun, a country with cheerful people.
