In 2010, Rafael Nadal was on top of the tennis world. In this period he was able to achieve something that neither Federer nor Djokovic has ever done; he was able to win a Grand Slam on every single surface.

Nadal 2010 will go down in history as one of the very greatest seasons by a player, like Wilander 1988, Federer 2006 and 2007, Djokovic 2015 and 2021. But there is another season by Nadal that is underrated, and that's 2013! Even if he didn't win 3 slams that year (Djokovic won Australia and Murray Wimbledon), he won 2, and was amazingly strong that year!

[@davidbosquette2940]

[@marilynwasserman3273]

Ahh, fodder for the Great (and stupid) GOAT debate. The main reason Fed and Djoker had a problem with this achievement was they couldn't beat Nadal at RG. (Djoker finally did, in 2021, when Rafa was having problems even walking. For the record, Djoker also defeated Nadal in the RG quarters in 2015 then succumbed to The Man in the final.)

[@michelez715]

2014 and 2015 were the years, coming back after injury, when Nadal totally lost confidence in his game. He started coming back to form in 2016, then was struck with a wrist injury at RG quarte final, I think, and had to withdraw. No doubt the 3 worst years of Rafa's career, both physically and mentally. But he came back again, like a real champion.

You said Fed had done things that Nadal and Djoko hadn't done, without saying what they are; you also said Djoko had done things Fed and Nadal hadn't done, again not specifying what they were. But you said nothing about what Nadal has done, which the other 2 hadn't, namely winning Olympic Gold in singles and doubles.

[@berniesabandal8679]

He doesn't have Djokovic's consistency... that's the difference between them... unlike Rafa, Novak Djokovic has been consistent since 2011... Rafa failed to build consistency of his 2010 performance...or maybe Novak Djokovic 2011 improvement is too much for him to handle....

[@victormanuelbustamantealva6803]

Probably both but maybe a bit more the second option. If it weren't for djokovic, nadal would've become the goat at the end of the 2010's

Dude, I know You posted this two years ago. But as you know, Rafa luckily got his multi surface victory run in a year before Djokovic reached his PRIME. Because the very next year, he would lose all six times he faced Novak. Which also happened to be in Finals. And now that Nole has accomplished this same act twice, do You now admit he's the GOAT? FYI, Rafa hasn't taken a set off of Novak in 10yrs.
