Well done Rafa.

21

[Presti35]

Nadal wins from two sets down and wins #21.

Insane!!

It was actually one of the most insane and impressive things I've seen in world sports. Rafa, what a guy.

[Presti35]

Rafa with Olympic gold in Singles and Doubles too. Has lost 8 GS Finals, it's a shame he didnt win a couple of those close AO finals in the past. But last night was one of the best we'll ever see.

I hope he can win the French too.

[Jezza]

I'm still on the Djokovic bandwagon and hope he fights back, but what Rafa's achieved is unbelievable.

I think the GOAT will either be Nadal or Djokovic now. Federer will be #3.

[Jezza]

How did we get here:

2003 = Federer [1], Nadal [0], Djokovic [0]

2007 = Federer [12], Nadal [3], Djokovic [0]
2008 = Federer [13], Nadal [5], Djokovic [1]
2009 = Federer [15], Nadal [6], Djokovic [1]
2010 = Federer [16], Nadal [9], Djokovic [1]
2011 = Federer [16], Nadal [10], Djokovic [4]
2012 = Federer [17], Nadal [11], Djokovic [5]
2013 = Federer [17], Nadal [13], Djokovic [6]
2014 = Federer [17], Nadal [14], Djokovic [7]
2015 = Federer [17], Nadal [14], Djokovic [10]
2016 = Federer [17], Nadal [14], Djokovic [12]
2017 = Federer [19], Nadal [16], Djokovic [12]
2018 = Federer [20], Nadal [17], Djokovic [14]
2019 = Federer [20], Nadal [19], Djokovic [16]
2020 = Federer [20], Nadal [20], Djokovic [17]
2021 = Federer [20], Nadal [20], Djokovic [20]
2022 = Federer [20], Nadal [21], Djokovic [20]

Bold = added to their tally

[Jezza]

Nadal also achieved the double career slam.

This has been achieved by Emerson, Laver and Djokovic.

[Donny]

Excellent. Thanks Jezza.

[23 YIPPEE!!!]

Novak still number 1 after all of this.

Good for Rafa but he did not play Novak in the final to win it.

Rafa has 1 more year left Novak has 2.

By 2024 Novak 23 grand slams to Rafa 22.

...
Rafa has 1 more year left. Novak has 2.

Age (DOB)
Federer 40 (8 August 1981)
Nadal 35 (3 June 1986)
Djokovic 34 (22 May 1987)

Nadal wins from two sets down and wins #21.

Insane!!

Rafa's greatest triumph. Not his best tennis by a long way, but his greatest performance.

I think the GOAT will either be Nadal or Djokovic now. Federer will be #3.

I certainly do not equate "greatest" with "most Grand Slam titles".

Good cases can be made for players with half the number of Grand Slams.

There's a modern obsession with raw numbers like that.

Slams are a significant metric, but not the only metric.

I think the two obvious ones outside the big 3 would be Laver and Borg.

Some of the metrics to consider would be:

[*] Overall number of Slams won.
[*] Number of Semis, Finals and Titles at slam level.
[*] Number of Titles won (Slams, Masters 1000, Year End Titles, Olympics etc.)
[*] Head to head records (slams being given the most emphasis, but overall as well).
[*] Head to head on each playing surface.
[*] Has the calendar grand slam been achieved? Non-calendar grand slam?
[*] Has the career slam been achieved? Double career slam?
[*] Weeks at being #1 in the rankings.
[*] Level of competition.
[*] Number of years ending at #1 for the calendar year.
[*] Performances on hard, clay and grass courts.
