Thats the toughest part for Nadal at the moment is that he wins a grand slam and closes the gap to 3 titles and then boom Roger wins again and its back at 4. The only way Nadal can catch Federer is if Federer stops winning. Plus who knows if Djokovic will ever get back to his top form but if he does, it's going to be a lot tougher to win majors again. Plus Murray is coming back who knows how long it will take for him to get back to his best, throw in Shapo, Zverev, Thiem as well and winning a major gets harder every year.
The GOAT debate is useless, Tennis isn't a uniform sport. There are several surfaces which players play on (Grass,Clay,Hard Court, Carpet, Indoors) and no one player is the best at all them. It would be like if in the NHL they played 40 games on Ice, 20 on roller blades and 20 with shoes. Would Wayne Gretzky still be considered the best?
We all have our favorites just enjoy them while there playing and leave all the debates until when all are retired, because it will come sooner than we all think and then we will miss them.
