Rafael Nadal has won the only match this year against Novak Djokovic.
Journalist Jon Wertheim‘s reply Lee Abbamonte The sharing on Twitter caused a great debate between the fans of the two players. Abbamonte tweeted, “With 3 majors and 4 masters that he didn’t play this year, he basically missed 10,000 possible points. It would easily be 1 again this year and not close. Still extremely impressive.”
Wertheim later replied, “The man – by choice – missed two of the four majors… And he’s making a strong MVP for 2022. Without turning it into a referendum/culture war front over science/rugged individualism, can we all agree that this is one of the weirdest winning seasons in tennis history? ”
Fans were quick to prove their favorite actor’s claim and also criticize the journalist. To make things worse, Djokovic and Nadal have only played once this season, in the quarterfinals of Roland Garros. Nadal came out on top in 4 sets to knock out the defending champion. Djokovic is still in the head-to-head lead with a 30-29 record.
