For me that's part of the reason why I became such a big fan of Nadal and tennis in general. Sadly I never got to see Iginla win the Cup or Steve McNair win the superbowl but I have watched from the beginning Nadal transform from a clay court specialist to one of the 3 greatest players ever. This GOAT race in terms of Grand Slams is kinda silly because there are more than 4 tennis tournaments a year but people act like those are the only 4 that matter. Yes they are the most important but what about the 1000 events, the tour finals, olympics don't those matter as well?
You can make a case for each of the 3 (Nadal, Fed, Novak) to already be considered the GOAT. Hopefully Felix/Shapo are taking this time to work on their game so they can start to win events very soon.
