I'll remember this forever, says Djokovic after toppling Nadal in ParisWorld number one Novak Djokovic said his win over Rafa Nadal in Friday's epic French Open semi-final was one of the top three matches he had played and he would remember it forever. Yes it was a great match, with one of the best sets ever played in the 3rd, but it’s a bit of recent bias to say it’s the best match ever, 4 sets and 3 out of 4 weren’t that close, these two have played better/tighter matches let alone others through history

Thanks CairaConner Greatest Winning 13 French open makes him the greatest clay court player but no other slam he’s won 5 times. rogerfederer has won 3 slams atleast 5 times & DjokerNole has won 2 slams 5 times. To me DjokerNole is the greatest with better head-head VS big 2
