Hold up, so if Fed was the one winning on slow courts would y’all still say slow court GOAT???

I didn’t think so. Take Fed out y’all mouth and understand Nole the GOAT. You gotta beat who’s infront of you, end of story.

When we look at history we see the number of slams. All that other shyt for the birds. I stand on this every day, twice on Sunday.

My favorite was the 2011 US open cause of Fed’s post game press conference

That forehand winner left him in shambles

Loved the Kobe tribute.

Novak is by far the most personable of The Big 3.

He's finally getting his moment in the sun as the face of tennis and he's more than earned it. I think he'll be in the mix for at least two more years, which would line up with Fed's final hurrah.

Djokovic is the best tournament player ever as far as game and conditioning holding up for best of 5 set matches in a big draw etc. The consistency, reliability of strokes under pressure and endurance.

The younger guys should take notes of whatever Novak's doing with his body preparation. While Fed and Nadal's latter careers were riddled with nagging injuries, this guy keeps trucking along like LeBron. That elbow injury is the only really notable injury he's had. Fed and Nadal had a bunch of back and lower body issues.

Exactly. It's impressive how Novak SLOWED Nadal down because Nadal HAD a stronghold for a time and Novak really GOT him and BAFFLED him. We talk about Federer but Nadal and Novak rivalry is the one. They've HAD some great great matches

use past-tense to show that you (at least) agree that there ain't no GOAT level competition for joker now brehs

Roger, Nadal and Novak are the 3 GOATS of Tennis. Each to his own when selecting between those 3.

I was always Roger stan first but then became more Novak when I saw how he was swinging the tide IMO. Nadal was always my least favourite of the 3 but he is a warrior and he handles pressure better than the other 2. I dont recall seeing him buckle under pressure, break a racket etc.

Not understanding what you're saying here, hows Rafa an old man when he is the same age Djokovic with only a year apart and won 15 slams during his peak with him. Plus again look at those first 12 cupcakes fed had

Just watched the highlights from the USOpen 2011 Semi final, Novak had Diddy in his box for it? I didnt remember that
