Nadal concedes Djokovic is ‘best in history’ in terms of numbers

• Serb is all-time leader in men's grand slam singles titles
• Spaniard says fans make their own decisions on players

Rafael Nadal has said his longtime rival Novak Djokovic is the most successful tennis player in history, even though he was more ambiguous about who fans prefer to watch.

Djokovic won his 24th grand slam singles title this month when he beat Daniil Medvedev in the final of the US Open. That put him two ahead of Nadal and level with Margaret Court, who holds the women's record.
