Last weekend in Paris (France), Rafael Nadal won the 14th championship at Roland Garros, thereby reaching 22 Grand Slam titles. After the feat that no male singles player has ever done, the Spanish “Gaur” has been praised by the whole world, but the fans have not seen it yet. Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic congratulated colleagues.

Federer and Nadal are closer than people think

According to the latest information from Sky Sports (Italy), the Swiss “Express train” sent a private congratulatory message, and Nadal confided: “With Roger, we have a good relationship and respect each other. . After the win, I received a congratulatory message from him.”

Most of the colleagues sent their best wishes to Rafa through social media, however Federer choose to text privately, it shows the good friendship between the two players, it is completely different from thinking that the duo often envy each other.

Not only Federer, his coach Ivan Ljubicic expressed admiration for Rafa, he wrote on Twitter: “Not many players attended 14 times at Roland Garros. He even won the tournament 14 times.”

Currently, Nadal is leading the race for Grand Slam titles, with two more titles than Federer and Djokovic. Although he has a great advantage to end his career with the title of “the greatest tennis player of all time”, but he does not attach great importance to this issue.

Federer is now about to turn 41, again facing an injury, so the ability to win more Grand Slams is very difficult. Nadal’s main opponent is currently Djokovic, the player who is holding the number 1 position in the world and is 1 year younger than “Gaur”.

Nadal (right) does not mind if Djokovic (left) wins more Grand Slams, because he is too happy with what he has done.

But even being able to be surpassed by Djokovic in Grand Slam numbers doesn’t bother Nadal too much, he told CNN: “Honestly, it’s not something that would upset me if Novak won 23 Grand Slams and I just I have 22 Grand Slams. I’m happy with what I’ve done, so even if I’m beaten, I’m still in a good mood.”

In the immediate future, Djokovic and Nadal will enter the Grand Slam race at Wimbledon, the event in the UK will have no bonus points, but the title race does not make it any less attractive.
