Whatever anyone says, the numbers show that the rivalry between Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal is the biggest in the history of tennis. That is why the words of the Spanish, when it comes to our ace, have additional weight.
This season was not ideal for Nadal. He had big problems with injuries, so he missed almost the entire second half of the year.
The years of the Spanish tennis player are slowly coming, and it is really a big question how much more he will be able to play tennis at the highest world level.
On the other hand, Novak Djokovic has no intention of stopping. The best in the world only won three Grand Slams this year and equaled Nadal and Federer in the number of the biggest tournaments won, since all three are at the level of 20.
As it does not seem that the Serb is a machine that will almost stop, Nadal is also aware that Djokovic is the absolute favorite to have more Grand Slams at the end of his career than the Spanish and Federer.
– At the moment, Novak Djokovic is in the best position to finish the race for the number of Grand Slams. You just have to look at where Roger and I are now, while Novak is competing and in great shape. That is the reality – said Nadal.
It is certain that Nadal has the best chances for a new Grand Slam in Paris, more precisely at Roland Garros, which he has won 13 times ?!
– We’ll see what happens in a few months. At the moment, if it can be said that there is a clear favorite, it is Djokovic – Nadal concluded.
The Spanish will look for a form to return at the exhibition in Abu Dhabi, which is on the program from December 16 to 18.
