Only problem with that is Nadal leads 10-7 in major finals in that matchup. Never mind the facts though.
do you follow tennis much?

djokovic has won 15 of the last 21 matches with nadal, and 4 of the last 6 meetings in majors. all of nadals wins have come on clay.

10 of 17 grand slam finals speaks for itself

a 100% win rate on all surfaces other than clay, over the last last 8-9 years speaks louder.

I like Andy Murray as the greatest Scottish tennis player of all time.
He won two Wimbledons, 1 US Open, two golds at the Olympics, the Davis Cup, and was World Number One.

All 3 are tied with 20 GS but there is very little doubt that he is the GOAT.

1) Fed got away by getting his share of GS when guys like Roddick and Hewitt was his best competition.

2) Rafa is mostly a clay court speciailist.

Djoker with 9 Aussie, 6 Wimbledon, 3 US Open, and 2 on the clay is the most complete of the big 3

My list is Djoker, Fed, and Rafa

Thoughts?
So Novak is definitely the GOAT in terms of stats, crazy performance over the years. I got into some in-depth tennis stats just recently, started following tennis and love the Alcaraz Sinner rivarly. They could come close to overcoming Novak's Grand Slam titles, although it will all depend on the health, no injuries. Having said that, Carlos has just been injured which is a huge shame... I have been following the matchstat website (I believe they also do have their own tennis API but will have to check). Any other suggestions where I can get some solid data from?
