When asked “who is the best?” during an interview with El Objective de La Sexta, Nadal responded, “The numbers say yes, for me yes (he is the best in history).”

Djokovic’s record of 24 Grand Slam titles, surpassing Nadal’s 22 after winning last year’s French Open, solidifies his status as one of the sport’s greatest players.

Despite Djokovic’s on-court achievements, he continues to face challenges in garnering off-court popularity, with his behavior often overshadowing his athletic prowess.

Nadal offered a nuanced perspective on Djokovic’s public image, stating, “The image he projects is worse than he really is; I think he’s a good person.”

Acknowledging Djokovic’s occasional outbursts of frustration, such as breaking his racquet, Nadal praised his ability to rebound quickly and maintain peak performance.

Reflecting on his own career trajectory, the 37-year-old Nadal discussed his recent struggles with injury, which sidelined him for much of 2023 and forced him to miss the Australian Open earlier this year.

Looking towards the future of Spanish tennis, Nadal expressed admiration for compatriot Carlos Alcaraz, a rising star who has already secured two major titles at the age of 20.

Nadal lauded Alcaraz’s exceptional talent and versatility on the court, noting that the young player lacks the weaknesses he faced at a similar age, predicting a bright future ahead for the budding tennis prodigy.
