The Manacorí assured a few weeks ago that it would have been a great frustration for ‘Nole’ not to have achieved the Grand Slams record
“I have my opinion, but I won’t share it because I don’t want us to delve deeper into that,” the Balkan tennis player concluded.
The number one of the ATP, Novak Djokovicresponded this Tuesday in an interview to ‘Sportal’ to the statements he dedicated to him a few weeks ago Rafael Nadal before the Movistar+ cameras. The manacorí assured that It would have been a great frustration for Nole not to have achieved the Grand Slams record and the Serbian, as expected, did not agree.
“I’ve seen his comments go viral and a lot of people talked about it. Everyone has the right to have their own opinion and how they interpret another person in a given context. That’s all I can say. Rafa is a great champion. “I respect and appreciate him as such, my greatest rival, and as a player who contributed to shaping my game and the results I have achieved,” Djokovic responded.
Although he did not want to get into controversy, the Serbian made his opinion clear: “I have no intention of speaking negatively about him or Roger Federer. My respect for them surpasses any negative opinion I may have.. That is Rafa’s opinion and I do not agree. I have my opinion, but I won’t share it because I don’t want us to go into it any further. There’s no need for that.”
Last month, in an exclusive interview with Movistar+, Nadal He had said that he did not feel frustrated because with his abilities he had done everything possible. He also mentioned that frustration “could exist,” even for athletes who have won a lot. According to Nadal, Djokovicfor example, lives things with more intensity, and that ‘frustration’ motivated him to beat all records and continue where he is.
