Congratulations to Nadal for winning the 2020 French Open men's singles championship. Tied with Federer for the most Grand Slams in history. Between Federer and Nadal, who do you think is more valuable? Nadal and Federer are tied for 20 titles. Who has more gold medals in Grand Slams and who is the first in history? In view of the super strength of Federer, Nadal and Djokovic, it is still controversial to be the first in tennis history, but the top three in history are undoubtedly the three of them. Let's take a look at which of Federer and Nadal's 20 championships was won directly from the other two. Let’s look at Federer first, four times: Wimbledon in 2006 and 2007, the Australian Open in 2017, and the US Open in 2007. In the other 16 finals, the opponents were all non-Big Three. Nadal once won the Australian Open in 2009, Federer, the French Open in 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2011, Djokovic in 12, 14, and 20 years, and the Wimbledon in 2008. Jokovic. There are only 9 finals games against non-Big Three players.
We cannot deny the strength of Federer's early opponents, such as Safin, Roddick, Hewitt, etc. , but the gap with the Big Three is still huge. So, it is self-evident who has the highest gold content and who has the lowest gold content in the Feiner Grand Slam. The number of Grand Slams is a hard indicator of goats in tennis. Now FINA has evened it out, and in other sports, they also have their own merits. Judging from the current level of competition, Federer is far less likely to win a Grand Slam than Nadal. Judging from the just-concluded French Open final, Nadal is still invincible at the French Open. If there are no big surprises, he will win the French Open championship. It should be said that the number of Grand Slams is more than 20. Djokovic is also very competitive in Grand Slams outside the French Open. Although Nadal was not as dominant at Roland Garros, he will likely win more Grand Slams. Perhaps the future battle for the goat will be between Nadal and Djokovic.
Now, both Federer and Nadal have won 20 Grand Slams. They are rivals and friends! Federer congratulates Nadal - Nadal has always been my most respected friend, both as a human being and as a great champion. He has been my biggest rival for many years and we inspire each other to be better players, so I sincerely congratulate him on his 20th Grand Slam. Especially winning the 13th title at Roland Garros is amazing and one of the greatest achievements in sports history. I also want to congratulate his team because no one can do this alone. I also hope that turning 20 will be the starting point for our next trip. Congratulations again, Rafa, you deserve it. Sports stars congratulate Nadal! Real Madrid paid tribute, Federer said: One of the greatest achievements in history, Spanish basketball world champion and NBA legend Gasol spoke out,
"You are so great, the word legend is not enough to describe you!" It is worth mentioning that Nadal is a Real Madrid fan. Immediately, the La Liga giants also spoke out, "Our honorary member Rafael Nadal continues to write his own legend. He won the 13th French Open championship. Real Madrid fans around the world are proud of you. Congratulations, Rafa ! You are the best example." Spanish F1 world champion Alonso wrote - great Nadal! Australian tennis legend Rod Laver praised Nadal, "You are an elegant and great Rafa, always full of inspiration!" Djokovic's wife Elena also congratulated King Clay. "Dedicated to Nadal and his family, great achievement, congratulations to you, your team and all your fans." Sampras' record of 14 Grand Slams once seemed outdated, but now Nadal is only Won 13 championships at the French Open.
