Novak Djokovic is the tennis GOAT... Prove us wrong

5493.st.kabirdin22h ago

"Djokovic will look to continue his unbeaten record in Beijing when he faces either Alexander Zverev or Juncheng Shang in the China Open semi-finals." Semifinal?????????

vs.iyer.vs1d ago

What ever be is it, Novak's resilience, aggressive attitude to succeed are all notable points to learn. He announced his arrival when Roger and Rafa were in peek. Winning a Grand Slam beating both Rafa and Roger was a herculean task those times.

Federer without doubt was a player with more class than anyone however Djokovich's ability to sustain pressure made him what he is.

josephtyler035mo ago

GOAT of stats because he didn't have to pass the baton on until 15-16 years later, hence half his total 24 GS tally came in his 30s... Fed is my pick for best of all time, as I think he would finish on top if they were all the same age.

vs.iyer.vs3mo ago

.aksdsnargRafa started to defeat Roger in all formats right from.2004. Fed was 23 years of age. French open may be fed trailing 0-6. Before 2017 head to head with Rafa was 9-23 I hope. Novak started to defeat Fed from 2010 onwards convincingly. The issue is initially Fed had no competition. Once Rafa later Novak came, Fed was unable to beat both of them

There really is no conversation. Statistically Novak IS the goat and a good man. Preferences are an entirely different conversation.

osbourne20235mo ago

Does anyone really care if Novak is the GOAT. He will NOT win the Wimbledon Tennis 2026. Its time for him to go home. Smashing up your body for Greater Status and Statistics is not doing him any favors. He as a BIG EGO. Time to let go.

lullajeet28mo ago

People who are claiming their favourites as GOAT are either illogical people or children . As the GOAT title depends on the statistics and no one can beat Novak in that area. So please stop being silly and illogical

acharyaub418mo ago

There is no doubt about the GOAT. It has got to be Djokovic.

fnouneh9mo ago

The Greatest is NOT the Most Numerical! If it's about numbers, then Federer is the only Billionaire among the Big 3! I would call him: The Wisest Richest Greatest of all time! Or should l say: Ion Tiriac, since he earned 2.3 billion (although it was NOT because of tennis)? Where

castorjuveleevillareal18h ago

lol, tennis is the subject

joshcaron7258mo ago

How silly my friend. Its numerically about stats not the big 3's net worth.

tag3039mo ago

Sampras is the GOAT. Faced WAY stiffer competition than "the big 3". Edberg, Aggasi, Becker, Chang, Courier, Rafter, Muster, Goran I, Philapouses, Korda, Brugera, off the top of my head. No comparison.

joshcaron7258mo ago

Opinion not objectively based it's Novak

jakob.barnes9mo ago

Nahhhh Roger Federer is CLEAR

joshcaron7258mo ago

Opinion not fact it's Novak

aaditya.krishnamurthy9mo ago

Nadal had always been my guy but I can’t look past Federer, his longevity was more impressive because he barely changed his game while adapting to the evolution of Tennis since his debut.

paddy9mo ago

Pete Sampras for me.

dale.odonnell9mo ago

Always going to be Roger Federer for me. He was a complete icon during my childhood.

joshcaron7258mo ago

He is your favorite & your entitled but Novak Djokovic is the goat of tennis has all the important records

james.rutherford9mo ago

Got to be Federer. An absolute sporting icon.

joshcaron7258mo ago

It's about stats the goat 🐐 ypur allowed federer is your favorite but the goat has every important record & that's Novak Djokovic

jordan.harris9mo ago

obviously Federer

walkercharlie8289mo ago

Tough to justify imo. Why do you think it's him?

jamesshearman239mo ago

What's your reasoning?

josh.barker9mo ago

The stats don't lie

david.comerford9mo ago

Djokovic in his prime was a genuine robot who looked unbeatable. That's the kind of image the GOATs have across all sports

jonathan.gorrie9mo ago

I prefer Federer personally but it's difficult to argue against Novak!

walkercharlie8289mo ago

Nadal had to fight through prime Federer and Djokovic. He's my goat and you can't change my mind

george.patten9mo ago

Nope, he definitely is IMO - Cleared Nadal and Federer a while ago

mark.marston9mo ago

Always had a soft spot for Nadal

liam.mcmillen9mo ago

The number don't lie - Novak Djokovic is definitely the GOAT!

leeclarke05089mo ago

As the founder of the Roger Federer Fan Club, I hate to admit it but sure, Djok is probably the greatest.

jamesshearman239mo ago

Nadal for me! Federer won lots before Rafa arrived and Novak has won lots since Rafa declined/retired. And what if there were more clay court events? Rafa could have another 30 titles

camerondesc19mo ago

I think it goes 1. Novak, 2. Rafa, 3. Roger, but I really think you can make a great case for Nadal as the goat. He pretty much won all his majors while the big three were in their primes - Roger won a few before the peak of the big 3 era and Novak won a few after

peter.lynch9mo ago

He is, there's no getting around it really. Mad that he isn't finished yet either!

matthew.johns9mo ago

Difficult to argue any other way, Djokovic has won more Grand Slam singles titles than anyone else in the Open Era and has a winning head-to-head against both Nadal and Federer

daviescallum429mo ago

Djokovic has operated for so long without Rafa & Roger at their peak, won so many since they started to decline!
