While Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal may not have hostility between each other, their fans are not someone who get along. One can often see the fanbase of the two stars fighting each other in the comment sections of many posts. We saw an instance of such an interaction in a recent post shared by a fan of the King of Clay.

The fan account shared an article that talked about Djokovic not being the GOAT of the sport and instead giving the post to his two rivals, Roger Federer and Rafa. The fight ensued in the comments as soon as it went live.

Rafael Nadal fans trolled by Novak Djokovic fans

Fred Meyer is a journalist for the ATP Tour and is also an admirer of the Spanish bull. He recently shared an article written by a games sports journalist, Scott Gullan. Gullan was vehement in his claims of not giving the GOAT title to Novak Djokovic. He said that while Djokovic succeeds in the part where has to hit the ball over the net, he fails in another major aspect.

As per Gullan, he fails to inspire others, win their hearts, and do something besides tennis. Djokovic fans found themselves in the comment section of the post and shared their thoughts about the article.

One fan said that he did what Federer and Nadal could not do, make the world better by hitting the ball over the net. They also said that Rafa and Federer did not support lower-ranked players and only worried about lining their own pockets.

One user pointed out that the article was from 2022. They also told Fred Meyer to keep digging.

A user said that they’ll put it more easily for it to be understandable by everyone. They called Rod Laver, Pete Sampras, and Federer former GOATs, with Federer being behind Djokovic. They called Rafa a pig, as the clay court is his favorite court.

One user shared a pun on the account holder’s name as they called him “Fraud Meyer” and said that he was in ruins.
