Is he The GOAT?

19th Slam.

Not too shabby.

I’ve long been of the opinion that RF is the greatest player I’ve seen but with Nadal still looking imperious on clay and ND looking strong across the board, it’s looking likely that his tally of 20 slams will be equalled or more probably beaten.

GOAT? I just don’t know. I know I enjoy RF’s game more than the other two but by the end of their careers I reckon they’ll each have a strong claim.

Nadal for me is the GOAT. He has won every slam more than once. Federer and Djok only won the French because he was injured or else they would never have completed the 4 slams.

Yep, he is extraordinary on clay.

One thing that is always at the back of my mind with Nadal is the shadow of accusation. I have no idea is it has any validity whatsoever but there have been pointed comments from other players through the years and sharing the same doctor as Alberto Contador is brought up regularly. Could be completely unfounded of course and that he's just a bit of a freak to have the physicality he does and yet is able to play in endurance situations.

All 3 of them are doping and are protected. There is no way in a tennis match a 38 year old will be beating 20 year olds. It's just not possible in tennis just like its not possible for a 38 year striker will have the same output as he was at 28.

Battle of the laboratories.

I thought I was cynical

You think Andy Murray is as well? Just out of interest given his vehemently anti-drug stance.
