    One of the best three to have ever done it. The undisputed King of Clay. Have a statue at of you at one of the grand slams. Yeah I’d take that.

    Guys you need to lower your expectations. He has been out for more than 1 year and he is almost 38 years old (37 years and 5 months). There has never been a Grand Slam champion at that age. The oldest Grand Slam champion of the open era is Roger Federer at 36 years and 5 months. The oldest Grand Slam champion of all eras is Kevin Rosewall at 37 years and 1 month.

    Nadal will be 37 years and 7 months at the Australian Open this year and 38 years old at Roland Garros.

    If Rafa focused only on clay from now on and only played French Open and the clay 1000s I think he could catch the current amount.

    Doesn’t matter if he wins anything next year at all, just hope that he is happy and satisfied with his career :)

    He overtook the greatest ever tennis player to live, only for another guy to be waiting in the wings to be the greatest ever player to live.

    If Novak didn’t exist, Nadal would be the greatest in history lmao
