I am a fan of Djokovic, but I have never thought that he and Nadal have reached the same strength on clay, not even for a millimeter. I still think Nadal's strength on clay is on a different level. That is why I like Djokovic to challenge Nadal, who is unmatched on clay, and I am happy when Djokovic wins, and I am impressed with Nadal when Djokovic loses. The only thing I think about Djokovic on clay is that he is the only active player who has a chance to beat Nadal in all of French tennis. But I still think Nadal is much better than Djokovic at the French Open and I respect him a lot.

[@unaysqureshi1685]

One thing in tennis that is nearly impossible to argue is that there will never again be a player who moves as well as Nadal on clay. While there are a couple of very good clay specialists in tennis right now, Nadal's amazing ability to move around so effortlessly on what is arguably the most challenging surface in tennis is something that we will never see again. He might have the most deserving nickname ever given to any athlete, and this match, as well as the final, where he completely dissected Casper Ruud, show that without a doubt, when he is fit enough to compete, tennis' 'King of the Clay' is a player that has no equal on his most successful surface.

[@freezies816]

I am a Rafa fan, but i don’t like that RG, he literally numbed his foot with chemicals to be able to play because otherwise the pain would be too important to play. Even if legally it’s not doping, it actually kind of is right? I mean doping is gaining a physical advantage by injecting something in your body. Which is actually exactly that. Without it, he would have never even made it to the thirds round (he said himself during the press interview). So i don’t know, he is still the absolute goat of clay but i feel like that season wasn’t a fair fight

Bro, Zverev injects himself on court, Djokovic receives " magic" juice during his matches. If at any point these guys took any illegal substance or treatment, I'm sure it would have showed up in tests or screenings. The French Open proved in 2024 they do not give anyone preferential treatment. Djokovic slipping all over the place, nope they won't clean the court.
