Fans disagreed with Toni Nadal’s claim that his nephew, Rafael Nadal, would have been the best without injuries, while he acknowledged Novak Djokovic as the best in the current circumstances.
In an interview with Euro News, Toni mentioned that Djokovic has won more titles than any other player which makes him the best. However, he also stated with a laugh:
“Who could be the best without injuries? My nephew.”
A clip of the interview was posted on X.
Many fans disagreed with Toni’s comments and slammed him for being ‘bitter’.
“Bro doesn’t know or understand that Djokovic would be on 30+ slams himself if we add ifs. Bitter family,” one fan wrote.
Nadal family should consider doing salt business. They will be very good at it,” another fan wrote.
“They can’t admit that Djokovic is the best without saying that it would be Nadal if….,” a third fan wrote.
One fan opined that injuries are part and parcel of the game and others have suffered more. They wrote:
“Every single tennis player has injuries. I believe only Delpo can say he really missed on what could’ve been, because he genuinely had such a bad luck with injuries…. And you gotta feel for Thiem as well, one injury and he was gone.. But Nadal? Cmon, enough with it.”
