Rafael Nadal 's title at the Australian Open has earned him an extraordinary number of well-deserved accolades, for his status as the male tennis player with the most Grand Slam titles in history. However, the Bosnian Damir Dzumhur has shown the opposite face with a comment that denotes envy about Nadal and in which he mentions his friend Novak Djokovic as the best of all time.
Dzumhur , current number 152 in the ranking at 29 years old, stood out with a message shared on social networks and later deleted, but leaving the trail that has made his discredit to Nadal one of the most commented. " Anyone can win a Grand Slam without Novak Djokovic ", the Bosnian wrote in the Instagram stories, to continue below with a message of support for Djokovic's candidacy to be the historical number one. « The GOAT is still the Djoker! », he added.
This is not Dzumhur 's first staunch defense of Djokovic . Both have a good relationship and were organizers of the controversial Adria Tour in the summer of 2020 in which several tennis players were infected due to the parties held without a mask or distance in closed spaces. Referring to the scandal surrounding Nole and his deportation from Australia, Damir sided with his partner. “ No one deserved to be treated like this and especially someone who represents all the players like Novak does! I support a great man on and off the pitch .”
