"My opinion is not valid" says Toni Nadal on GOAT debate between Djokovic, Federer and Nadal

Toni Nadal was asked who should be considered the best tennis player of all time and the Spaniard offered some insights while admitting that his opinion is not really valid.

Toni Nadal is the uncle of Rafael Nadal and he watched him grow up on the courts while also coaching him for the better part of his legendary career. Nadal was asked recently who should be considered the best tennis player of all time and he offered some insights:

"There are different measures to determine who is number one [of all time]. In any case, my opinion is not valid because he [Nadal] is my nephew, and if I considered that someone else is the best, I would not say so."

On Federer he said:

"Federer is a guy who has managed to transcend his sport. But apart from that, he has achieved maximum efficiency with great elegance, and you can't ask for more than that."

On his nephew, he said:

"As for Rafael, obviously, he has also had to change things, but I think that is what all those who stay at the top for a long time do. It's impossible to stay on top if you are not constantly reconfiguring yourself. He [Rafa] has changed, like Federer. If you can't run as much you know you have to shorten the points. The level of Rafael's game between 2008 and 2010 was very high. Today he has a little less physicality, as is to be expected, but his game is more complete, he now serves much better."

Nadal did not offer any comment on Djokovic curiously.
