'That is not fair' - Ivan Lendl hopes Novak Djokovic/Rafael Nadal GOAT debate is not 'affected by politics'
Ivan Lendl hopes that Novak Djokovic's absence from Grand Slam tournaments due to his vaccination status does not decide the debate about the greatest male tennis player of all time. Djokovic appears likely to miss the US Open having elected not to get the Covid vaccine, and was similarly absent from the Australian Open at the start of the year. Ad/> In his absence, Rafael Nadal moved on to 21 Grand Slam singles title with his second crown in Melbourne, further extending his record tally with a remarkable 14th triumph at Roland-Garros.
