Basically I’m saying I think nadal is closer to the end than djokovic. I could see djokovic playing at a higher level for longer in comparison to nadal bc nadal played such a taxing style so long.
Think nadal is in the drivers seat if he wins French open this year. Even just tieing it wouldn’t be a guarantee for djokovic. Thing the grand slam count is clear indicator of who the goat is somewhat. (Even though djokovic has better h2h against nadal and fed).
Big nadal fan here and hope to see him end up as the goat. That 5 set loss to fed a few years back in the Aussie open final was huge. Really wish he had more space between himself and djokovic. I don’t want to see djokovic end up with slam lead.
