It’s interesting to hear Toni Nadal’s perspective on the GOAT debate. Djokovic’s work ethic and desire to be the greatest certainly set him apart, but the debate over who holds the title of the greatest of all time is always a contentious one.
It’s clear that Nadal recognizes Djokovic’s dedication and longevity in the sport. Each player has their own approach and priorities, which can affect their career trajectories and legacies. Djokovic’s continued success and commitment to his craft certainly make a strong case for his GOAT status.
It seems like Nadal is emphasizing the difference in mindset and lifestyle between Djokovic and his nephew Rafael. While Nadal led a more balanced life, Djokovic’s singular focus on tennis and his drive to be the best may have contributed to his exceptional career achievements.
