Follow Us
Rafael Nadal recently won his 20th Grand Slam title at the French Open 2020. He defeated the World No.1 Novak Djokovic in straight sets to win the Roland Garros title for a record 13th time.
After the match, the Serbian praised Nadal and called him the ‘King of Clay.’ He termed his rivalry with Nadal as the biggest rivalry in the history of the sport, and even called Nadal his greatest ever rival. But, his statement surely didn’t please the former tennis player Chris Evert.
The 65-year-old American agreed that in men’s tennis, the Rafa-Djoko rivalry could be the greatest but surely not in all of tennis.

“Well, true in men’s tennis, but Martina [Navratilova] and I played 80 times,” wrote Evert on Twitter.
