Rafael Nadal on Wednesday hailed longtime rival Novak Djokovic as the best player in the history of the sport.
“The numbers say yes, for me yes (he is the best in history),” Nadal said in an interview with El Objective de La Sexta when asked “who is the best?” Djokovic has 24 Grand Slam titles having surpassed Nadal’s 22 when he captured last year’s French Open.
Despite that success, the controversial world number one from Serbia still struggles to translate his on-court triumphs into off-court popularity.
