According to Patrick Mouratoglou, sports fans have never been more fortunate than in the past decade to have witnessed the likes of Serena Williams, Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer, and Rafael Nadal. The Frenchman, enthralled by the absurd timing and including Tiger Woods, Lewis Hamilton, and LeBron James among others, declared that this was the “decade of GOATs.”
“The GOATS decade: [ Serena Williams, LeBron James, Tiger Woods, Lewis Hamilton, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, Serena Williams… How absurd is that? Mouratoglou posted tweets. It’s interesting that Mouratoglou made his remarks just a few days after LeBron James passed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to become the NBA’s all-time leading scorer. In contrast, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic are tied for the most Open Era Grand Slam titles with 22 each.
In contrast, Serena Williams retired last year with the most Grand Slam titles of any male or female player in Open era history—23. With 20 Grand Slam titles under his belt, Federer also made his retirement announcement the previous year.
Tiger Woods has won the most major championships and the most PGA Tour victories in golf history, and Lewis Hamilton is tied with Michael Schumacher for the most World Drivers’ Championship titles with seven.
Toni, Rafael Nadal’s uncle, commented on the Slam competition, “In the end, it’s a complicated fight against a great champion like Djokovic.”
Rafael Nadal’s uncle Toni as of late remarked on the Hammer race between his nephew and Novak Djokovic, thinking that it was a muddled battle that is presently the Serb’s to lose.
Against the World No. The Spaniard, despite remaining optimistic about his nephew’s chances at the upcoming French Open, believes he has the upper hand because he is younger.
“Ultimately, it will be a difficult battle against a great champion like Djokovic. “It’s hard to beat Djokovic because Djokovic is younger than him,” he said. After France, he will have options at Roland Garros. Let’s see.”
The Mallorcan is the defending champion of the upcoming French Open. In the quarterfinals of that tournament, he defeated Djokovic. The World No. 1 despite having a foot injury entered the tournament 6 accomplished the unthinkable by defeating Casper Ruud in the final to claim his then-record 22nd Grand Slam title. Additionally, it marked the Spaniard’s 14th victory on Paris’ clay courts, another seemingly unbreakable record.
