Rafael Nadal continuing to talk about Novak Djokovic surprising says Paul McNamee, says Djokovic takes high ground instead of replying

We are all fortunate that these 3 Tennis giants have been with us for so long. Rafa should be perhaps more gracious to Nols who is taking over every record possible. We live All of them but Novak just learnt how to take better care of his body and tennis to last a bit longer. 8 Eve of the year at #1, 410 weeks at #1 and 24 majors, set a new bar for tennis.

Novak beats Rafa on grass and HC, though. So... Guess Novak prefered his results do the talking, instead of talking like this. Thought Rafa still in rehab or something...

It's ok, to much yada, yada

He's better player then the speaker, actually he is a terrible speaker 🔊

This is a bit of a joke. Nole is lucky to be alive as he was being bombed every night for 3 months while the other two grew up in the lap of luxury. Normal strong good character people don't feel bad for Nadal and Federer as they both reinvented fake versions of their true selves while Novak was himself all throughout - that is the quality or character trait that should be a role model for the entire world.

Purposely hitting the ball at opponent when volleying is the so called reinvention by Nadal? He must find the reasons for his injury. Talking too much does not help. Nobody wants to become the GOAT of Most Injuries.

There's nothing wrong with those comments made by Nadal - they're just a summation of how he has perceived the situational differences on account of the injuries both him and Federer have had to contend with over the course of their respective careers. And all the better too for Djokovic, is what I think Nadal was essentially saying, in the sense that he, Nole, did not have to go through the same type of rigour and complicated recovery strategies that players who struggle with injuries have to contend with. In that respect, I can sympathize with Rafa (and Federer too), because having to content with injury is far more challenging and complex than not having to - that's just plain and simple. Inasmuch too as I really love Novak, I think he ought to take those comnents from Nadal as a compliment which just goes to point out how much more free Nole is to be able to flow through the developmental process without so much complication as either Nadal, Federer, or even as we saw the other day, with poor Any Murry and that ghastly metal hip he had put in not so long ago! And I would hope that Djokovic continues to stay out of the major injury slipstream just through how he so meticulously does his routines. Not so long ago, someone made the comment, I think it was either Sam Smith or Samantha Stoser, that Nole is unique in his training regimen in that he's the only player who incorporates stretching for flexibility routines in a very astute and consistent manner. Perhaps there lies part of the answer!

I agreed with you, Paul
