Nadal would have to reach atleast 15 slams to have any consideration as the possible GOAT. I still think he is top 5 or 6 all time already though.

I totally agree that Rafa is NOT a GOAT contender.

One reason is that Fed is clearly the GOAT (not Rafa). Of course Rafa is better than Fed, but that is a different measure...
