First off, there’s really no such thing as a GOAT. It’s subjective and not quantifiable for many reasons. But in your world where there is, Novak is still not THE goat. He’s among them. He’s no more the goat than Sampras, Federer or Nadal were while they held the most slam titles.

Nanda is ridiculously good and Djokovic's rally ball basically pins him into a defensive position on every point. The level is insane. I'm a 5.0 tennis player and I probably couldn't get a game off Nanda. In fact, It would be struggle to win a point. So to extrapolate that to Djokovic is ridiculous. The level to sports are incredible. IF they only showed this court level view on regular TV, it would only serve to pull more people into the sport as the athleticism and speed required is lost when viewed from above.

But that view is what makes it viewer friendly.. Tennis players and some viewers might differ.. But I'm sure majority would want it the way it is... At some stage they change the camera angles and it gives the viewer a different experience for sure... But to make it the norm would not be a right decision... Otherwise it would have been done by now.. Top view is what i reckon is best view for the one who is just watching it for entertainment..
