"I don't care if I'm GOAT" - Nadal after winning 14th Roland Garros title
In a recent interview with Amanpour & Co, Rafael Nadal spoke about his feelings after winning his 14th Roland Garros title and also the 'GOAT status'.
Recently, Nick Kyrgios claimed that Rafael Nadal is 'the best out of the Big 3' because of having 2 more Grand Slam titles than his main rivals Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer. However, the Spaniard sees it differently, when he said:
"I honestly don't think much about that. And from the bottom of my heart, I really don't care that much. I think it doesn't matter. I think we achieved our dreams, I achieved my dreams and I enjoy what I'm doing," said Nadal.
"I understand the question and I know the press and people are always caring a lot about this stuff but in some way I know I'm in the important part of the history of the sport and that makes me feel proud and happy."
"Last couple of years have been very difficult. After pandemic, something happened in my foot and I'm not able to manage the pain to play often and even practice. In the past, I had a lot of things, starting from the foot in 2005, and also knees have been a big issue for me and a couple of times I broke my wrists."
"Going through all these challenges, I always hold the passion to keep going and I always keep the love for the game and I always wanted to keep going and that's probably why I'm in the position that I'm today."
