"Nadal is aware of reality" says Alex Corretja on Nadal recognizing that Djokovic wil end up with most grand slams

The Spaniard recently talked about Djokovic admitting that the Serbian is in the best position to end up with the most slam titles overall. His compatriot and Eurosport tennis analyst Alex Corretja agrees with that assessment saying on Nadal:

"I think that Rafa is very intelligent and is very aware of the reality, and has always had his feet on the ground. He knows that Roger was at some point the best in history. When he matched him, he felt that he too deserved that recognition."

Corretja further said:

"But he is not a fool, he sees that Novak is coming from behind, that he is younger and that he has more chances to win on other surfaces, and that makes him the most dangerous, the one with the best chance of becoming the best in history. It seems to me that on Rafa's part, this is an exercise of humility and accepting that there will be another player who will improve his numbers, and at the same time he must accept that he should not compete with Novak or Roger, but with himself."
