The more FO title he wins, the less will he be a GOAT-contender

[Cortana]

For being GOAT you need to be the best in most stats, not only collecting titles at your pet slam. Where are his WTFs? His weeks #1? 5-8 Wimbledon titles? The most important title of all? He might be the clay-GOD, but for being GOAT you need way more.

 

[RS]

Lol that was quick.

 

[Yugram]

Ok.

Now go continue crying, mug.

 

[akatim]

LOL, how weak.

 

[kishnabe]

IMO, Federer still GOAT.

Nadal will always be a candidate regardless of Clay Heavy Resume.

Djokovic is king of weak era, he at Lendl, Laver level in Goatness.

Fedal and Sampras the 3 best.

 

[BeatlesFan]

You can really measure the misery quotients of some posters when they can't celebrate the victory from a rival player. How about congratulating Rafa for another win at RG?

 

[AlexanderTheGreat08]

Winning GS titles can never go wrong. Sure it will be better if he picks up some more titles outside RG.

Let’s be honest , Majority only cares about majors thanks to Sampras and Federer hyping that record

 

[King No1e]

Trade in 3 RGs for a WTF, Paris, and Miami. Now he'd be GOAT

 

[The Guru]

Makes sense. Seems legit.

 

[ND-13]

Rafa is classy in victory and defeat. Let us all learn from him

 

[ibbi]

I agree with you. Every time he wins another grand slam I just think less and less of him.

 

[FedFanBoy]

It will be ok, Djoker fans. Djoker still has his pet slam in Aus and old Fed and Anderson waiting for him in Wimbledon.

 

[killerboss]

Lmao Federer and Djokovic would be hailed clay court gods by this easily impressed generation of fans if it wasn't for Nadal's actual greatness stopping them. This notion that Fed or Djoko are the greatest of this era has hopefully been put to bed for good now.

 

[ohiostate124]

True op. Just further cements the fact that he is the clay goat.

 

[victorcruz]

A slam is a slam. I would like him to collect some more off clay as well but no, another slam on clay does not hurt anyone you jabroni.

 

[ConnorH]

In denial

 

[Xemi666]

Seeing how salty Nadal haters are after watching this final is just the cherry on top

 

[Midaso240]

Each of the 3 will have their own untouchable records, it's just weighing up how they all stack up against each other. Or not, maybe there never will be a GOAT. Maybe it's just some imaginary title that can never really be achieved

 

[TennisProExpert]

How can winning more make you worse?

I’d argue winning the other slams does more for his legacy, but it’s the way he can still play this level after 15 years shows amazing longevity.

 

[SinneGOAT]

 

[TheNachoMan]

Nah, the fact he DESTROYED Novak today while Fed couldn’t even close him out at 40-15 at his pet slam says a lot.

 

[tudwell]

Similarly, if Djokovic wins another Australian Open, hell actually be losing ground against Fed in the HC GOAT race.

The Fedrageddon... it is upon us.

The evidence are threads like this.

The most important title of all? The slams are all equal, there are preferences, Nadal always loved RG the most. Where are Federer's gold medals in single, where are his French Open titles? Where is his head to head?

No one ever said that. This is just one of a projected 70 threads attempting (and failing) to play the irrelevant stat game to offset the ass-hurt from Nadal doing what I've said all year long: he would tie Federer, and he's more likely win more than Federer at this point, which is wonderful, but not for...

In any case, neither Nadal or Federer ever won the greatest of all tennis achievements--the Grand Slam--so they are not GOAT players.

 

[skaj]

Nah, the fact he DESTROYED Novak today while Fed couldn’t even close him out at 40-15 at his pet slam says a lot.

Not to mention the fact that Nadal won against Federer at Wimbledon, when Roger was in his prime.

Lolz you picked Joker in straights Now hold this fat L

 

[zipplock]

Agreed. I wanted Rafael

Agreed. I wanted Djoker to win but full respect to The Nadal.

Oh for the love of God get over yourself. The man has achieved a great thing.

Fed fan here and I loved it.

 

[Wander]

Yes, absolutely. Nadal would have a better claim for GOAThood had he lost today. Definitely.

 

[MichaelNadal]

LMAO. You might as well log off for a while Sweetie

Can you believe how quick this post was?
Even Nadal said in his post match - that he is not thinking of 20 slams or anything like that. Just cares about winning RG. Some people here will never stop.

 

[Rabin]

Ah, yes. This is why Fed and Djokovic better not win any more AOs or Ws. Because more is always less. Very wise, OP. Btw, better have that butt checked out, seems mighty hurt right now
