a bad start to the year and a bit of rest after the Davis Cup Finals, which gave me confidence for the next tournaments. Acapulco is one of the best events in the world and it means even more to me after knowing that I had not played well here in recent years. We will celebrate the title and prepare for the next round in Indian Wells, hoping to maintain the winning streak and fight for the trophy again,”
Younes El Aynaoui was then asked for his two cents on the GOAT debate.
He began by pointing out that he has beaten both Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal but has never faced Djokovic. But he asserted that he considers each member of the Big 3 as the “best”
He stated that “I played against Federer and Nadal when they were both relatively young on the tour. I won against both of them once, I even beat Nadal at the US Open. I see all three of them as the best, even if I never played against Novak.”
El Aynaoui went on to heap praise on Nadal’s self-control and Federer’s aesthetic tennis “When talking about self-control, Nadal is outstanding, He never shows his frustration, only his motivation. When it comes to the beauty of tennis with fluid movements, Federer is the ultimate.”
