Additionally, Tiafoe also talked about how life-changing his win against the former world number can be.

He said, “GOAT wins don’t come easy. Something to tell his grandkids one day, and you have to be happy for that guy. But, you know, selfishly, yes, I would have loved that matchup again because beating him in New York that day definitely changed my life.”

Nevertheless, the tennis ace might feel that defeating Nadal is a huge career turn. But according to him, he has chosen a different GOAT for the sport.

Who has Tiafoe chosen as his GOAT?

Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic are the three greatest tennis players of all time. Some tennis fans believe that the Swiss Maestro is the greatest, while others believe Djokovic or Rafa. However, the world number 17 last year, during a podcast conversation, talked about who he sides with in the GOAT debate.
