Rafael Nadal, who recently won his 21st Grand Slam as he defeated Daniil Medevdev in Australia in an unforgettable comeback has been in everyone’s conversation when it comes to the GOAT.
The Spaniard now stands atop his competitors Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic by becoming the only man in history to win 21 grand slams.
Nadal’s long-time physician made some interesting comments on Rafa’s legacy and everything he will leave behind in the tennis world.
“In Australia, we witness the triumph of bravery.”
“To the victory of an extraordinary guy who turns his enormous private sacrifices into a great public recognition. Rafa gives it all. To the limit. You cannot demand more than you demand of yourself. And Rafa cannot be asked for more,”
“He will go down in history as the ancient warriors of Troy, invincible, becoming an icon for society. He will leave a fabulous legacy for eternity,”
“To his physical power and mental strength, he adds a perfect team: Marc, Sebastián, Carlos, Rafael, Costa, Benito and the lessons of uncle Toni. All this forms an extraordinary cocktail, an infallible formula with which he manages to ensure that those small details that make the difference between defeat and victory always fall on his side,”
“For me it will be even more special returning this year after missing the tournament in October. See you soon in the tennis (and golf) paradise, Indian Wells”
