Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal consistently engage in the GOAT (Greatest of All Time) debate but for former World No.1, Ana Ivanovic, she believes the former's win at the French Open could be influential in that battle.
Djokovic who will face Stefanos Tsitsipas in the final at Roland Garros later this evening saw off Nadal 3-6, 6-3, 7-6 (7-4), 6-2, with a potential 19th Grand Slam title on the horizon.
“Novak was so aggressive and some of the rallies were getting me sitting on the edge of my chair and it was really beautiful to see how competitive they both are," said Ivanovic on Eurosport.
“Absolutely it was [influential in the GOAT debate]. Novak has had many situations like this in the past, even at the US Open a few times needing match points against Federer.
“I’ve seen it happen in Wimbledon I think. So these kind of moments in these kind of matches change the course and write the history.
“Novak has huge support there like all over the world so I’m sure people will be watching that (final) with enthusiasm.”
