Career Grand Slams (check)
Was Number 1 in the world (check)
Has close to record number of masters event (Check)
Positive h2h vs. his main rivals (Murray, Fed, Djoker) Check
What more does the guy need exactly? There is no hands down GOAT anyways.. So you can make a case for Rafa as least being a candidate since thats all we have anyways.. Candidates. There is no hands down for sure GOAT.
Hasn't he beaten Federer enough? Does he need to beat him more? Hasn't he beaten his other main rivals enough? Does he need to beat Murray and Djokovic more? He could use maybe a few more slams sure.. But does he need more masters events? Hasn't he won enough of those?
