Pep Guardiola, the coach of Manchester City, said that the best Spanish athlete in history is Rafael Nadal.
In the fight for the title, he defeated the Norwegian Casper Ruud and thus reached the 22nd Grand Slam of his career. Nadal won the 14th trophy at Roland Garros. During his career, he was never defeated in the Grand Slam final in Paris.
“There is no debate that Rafa is the best. It is difficult to compare individual and team sports. Rafa is one of many great Spanish athletes, but no one is as long-lived and consistent as Rafa. He is amazing, and he said that he had big problems with injuries. It is difficult to describe his career and successes. He just can’t stop. “If he overcomes foot problems, I believe he will continue to win trophies,” Guardiola said, as reported by the media.
