Federer is my fav but no doubt Djokovic is the GOAT now. Not to mention that he has winning records vs. the other contenders: 27-23 v. Federer; 31-29 v. Nadal.

If Novak capitalized on Federers age later in his career, then it must also be clarified that Roger capitalized on Novaks age early in his career, since Roger had a 4-0 lead agains him from 2006-07, while Novak wasn't even 20 and Roger was at his absolute peak. After that early start however their next years were all 50-50, with each one getting wins and losses, coming to an end after 2011, where it was all Novak really. It's also hard to say whether Roger or Novak is the greatest on grass, since Novak has 1 less Wimbledon while having a 4-1 record against Roger on the exact surface And comparing Rogers 93% win rate for 4 years to Novaks in 2015 is one thing, but failing to mention that Novak did it in an era where Nadal, Murray, Wawrinka and of course Federer himself were all there while Rogers best competition was.....who exactly? That's another thing entirely

[@MrSRA13]

In terms of the h2h they met far more when Federer was in his mid to late 30s than they did when Novak was young. It's very even and Novak was exceptionally gifted and won his first gs early. And Federer beat Novak in 2011 to end win streak and in 2012 at Wimbledon. Both years when Novak was in his prime and Federer was at the end of his. The grass is no debate. Novak leads 3-1 not 4-1 but as I said when they both met closer to Rogers prime it was a normal day at the office for Federer on grass. The man was untouchable for 5 years and almost beat a much younger Novak aged 38. His losses were close except 1 but let's not pretend this was the same Federer from 2003-2009. He was in his mid to late 30s while still being exceptional at that age. Novak has just found out himself how difficult it is to do that and got demolished by a 21 year old. Does this make Alcaraz greater on grass than Novak...ofcourse not. And people have short memories. Federer beat Sampras, ousted Agassi, had Safin, Nadal already winning majors. Roddick who is massively underrated (winning h2h with Novak, not that it means much) His competition was far harder than what Novak has faced the past 5 years where there has been a vacuum of major talent. Alcaraz and Sinner are the only ones to have stepped up really. All this is not to diminish Novak, he's a freak and a machine and is rightly one of the 3 GOATS and the most successful player of all time. But Federer gets far too much disrespect and should be applauded for playing as long as he did which should not have tainted his career as it seems to have done in the eyes of so many.

[@Dimchek970]

@@MrSRA13 Federer changed many things in tennis in general, like the average age of retirement which was in most cases in the early 30s before him. The man was the absolute greatest for a time after all. One thing that can't be said though is that he faced any "real" competition until Djokovic and Nadal matured to challenge him, which took a few years since theres an age difference unlike with Djokovic-Murray-Nadal which are all born within a year. Federer was a lone great surrounded by good/old players. I mean both Djokovic and Nadal beat Federer in a GS and won the title afterwards by the time they were both 20-21, something that most of his previous rivals couldn't do in their whole careers, so I don't put his competition beforehand in the same category as what would start coming after 2007. Same way i wouldn't compare Djokovic playing against Berretinni to Djokovic surviving and somehow overcoming Federer in Wimbledon/Nadal in Rg, however it can't be denied that Alcaraz, Sinner, Medvedev, and other newer players are for the most part just better than people considered the best players in Federers era, which would be Safin, Roddick and Hewitt, since Agassi was very old (for that time) and Samprass played Federer only once. If not by number of titles or elo rating etc. then at least by the fact that they just came after the big 3 raised the bar all around.

@@Dimchek970 Yeah, but the fact a 37 year old Nole dominates the circuit so much despite having monsters 16 years younger than him practically eliminates the "age gap" excuse: Djokovic is only 6 years younger than Federer, whereas he is 16 years older than Alcaraz and Sinner and he keeps winning consistently against them.

I think by now we can say that Novak is the overall GOAT, Nadal is the clay GOAT and Federer is the “highest peak” GOAT. I like how you mentioned some things about Federer that people forget… longest consecutive weeks at number one and that 4 year stretch at that highest dominance… you did mention that he made 10 Slam finals in a row, but you didn’t mention that he made 18 out of 19 Slam finals… winning 10 I believe… with a semi final as the only one in that 19 slam stretch where he didn’t make the final… almost 5 years of consecutive Slam finals.. and that was during a period of 24 semi finals or better in a row (6 years). No one has been more dominant over such an extended period. Hence in my opinion he is the “highest peak” GOAT and the most complete all round player ever. He had some injuries after that period (up and down back issues mainly until his latter stage knee issues) and he took way too long to upgrade his racquet to a bigger head which hurt him against Nadal… really can’t blame him for that though, why would you change something that gave you so much success over a 6 year period…. Still at the end of the day, Novak has most of the important records now and whilst he has had peaks and troughs, he kept at it, kept persisting and improving, he kept his body in super great condition… until his recent injury.. so he is definitely the GOAT for total end to end achievement… I would also give him “mental toughness” GOAT, whilst giving Federer “style” GOAT and Nadal “intensity” GOAT. Let’s appreciate all three… all amazing I their own ways.

The most consistently dominant and successful player is Djokovic, the most unstoppable version of a tennis player is Nadal on clay, and Prime Federer is the best all around tennis player to ever live. It just depends on whether you value longevity and slams, or Prime strength.

[@CostarreraGT_the_allknowing]

Actually I would argue that the most consistently dominant player of all time was Sampras. His 6 CONSECUTIVE year end #1 rankings are one of the many tell-tale signs that testify to that fact.

[@ivanchanlh]

firstly have to define what are the factors of achieving Greatest. Agree with your conclusion at the end, Novak is the greatest of all time if just saying in terms of tennis, but the special space I reserved for Roger is more important. Novak never can be that high class and the icon to represent tennis. But the GOAT should be able to be the icon to represent the sports. So the GOAT is Roger Federer for me.

[@Tennis_Served]

[@NikolaIvanovic-pu7hg]

So... It is absolutely impossible to be an icon without the support of the media right? The media of the United States or United Kingdom will never give such support to non-western athletes regardless of their success on the court. What you are saying is not fair because the GOAT status does not depend on the player but on something that the player cannot influence.

[@2Thes22]

Longevity at the highest level shouldn’t be the only criterion for determining the GOAT. Arguably Federal had the highest peak from 2004-2010. Djokovic had the longest peak. Sampras has the highest win percent, 89%, at the US Open and the second highest, 90%, at Wimbledon. Borg retired at 25 and has the highest at 92%.

[@richardmarshall1707]

You need singles Olympic Gold Medal for GOAT consideration. Once Novak has that, he is GOAT.

[@rhodrimorice7746]

Depends on if you base the Goat on longevity and who can break records, or if you base it on who has the highest level a human could ever play the game at their peak on a given day. For example, you could have an outstanding film producer who makes 5 award winning films and another who makes one award winning film that is the greatest film ever made, who would be the Goat?

Novak is the Ultimate GOAT..... of course Novak does not has Roger's smooth shots and Rafa's banana shots.... Even without all those shots he raised from Ordinary level to GOAT level. Also, Novak encourages & acknowledges opponents shots most of the time and never bad-mouth other players.

Com o ouro olímpico em Paris numa final HISTÓRICA e IMPRESSIONANTE contra o Alcaraz, o debate acabou.

[@LeoOQ10]

The only one who faced the other 2 in their peak is Rafa. And beat them in many occasions. He beat Federer to humiliation many times; he was the only one to menace him in his best (remember the 40-3 Federer season with 3 losses to RN); he beat the best grass player of all time in Wimbledon; he debunked the greatest dominance in tennis history till that moment; and he almost prevented the most talented player (RF) of all time to win all four slams. He beat Novak many times on hard and lost to him at RG only after the injuries, which took him off the court for many years of his career and put him in a condition of playing for a long time trying to return to a competitive form. The first to reach 21 slams, even far from the peak. Great advantage in h2h against RF and had a large advantage against Nole before the injuries. Still close to equal in h2h GS finals. Both Federer and Djokovic benefited from playing with less competition before 2007 and 2017, respectively. Rafa played against both of them from the beginning, with no gaps. He’s won the most, with less shots. Djoko benefited from 2 slams on hard and still couldn’t capitalize that much in NY to expand his lead. Many more Masters on hard. Rafa dominated in all kinds of clay courts. So statistically (cold data) Djoko is the undeniable GOAT, but if the analisis is a little bit deeper, it is arguable who was the best (not necessarily the greatest) or the greatest/most influential player. All of them have unique traits and strenghts which gave them the edge at some point.

[@mr.nobody3492]

Being the GOAT is not only a matter numbers. Novak is a fucking legend and the most successful tennis player ever but to be greatest you have to leave another type of mark. Federer hitting impossible shots every game like no other player was able to do and watching him move so naturally on a tennis court was a joy to watch and it was unmatched. And it happens in other sports also. For some people Senna is the GOAT of F1 and for others is Schumacher even if Hamilton is the most successful one. Michael Jordan is the GOAT of basketball even though Bill Russell won more NBA championships. GOATs transcend their own sport on a level no one else was able to do and that's the case with Federer in tennis.

[@chiller1017]

Being the GOAT in a single player sport is about two things- holding the major titles, and being no.1 ranked in the world. Tennis is lucrative in that the 4 GS have been the jewels of the sport since the 1950s and has been the main target for all tennis players of the modern era. NBA and F1 are team sports where the driver/player can make a difference but ultimately it is a team effort. You cannot make a GOAT argument based on feelings- Federer has not done anything to transcend tennis- he was heavily backed by the Nike/western european PR train since the early 2000s thinking that he will go clear in GS history. Unfortunately, for him, he came up against Nadal and Djokovic in the same era. The Goat in a single player sport is ONLY about the numbers...

The 8 consecutive Wimbledons might be tied up by Djokovic but for now it is still on the table. Also many seem to not take into account that the wins that Djokovic had over Federer to tip the scale in his favor as h2h was when Federer was in decline and plagued by injuries. And regarding Djokovic he isn't so beloved because he sure wasn't diplomatic, like I remember when he first played with Nadal and Nadal won in a dominant fashion, he said in the press conference, yeah I was close to defeat him, afterwards the press told Nadal what Djokovic said and Nadal jokingly said something like idk what match was but it wasn't the match I played (or something along those lines). He also uses to this days many antics and never trully congratulates an opponent for defeating him and playing a great match and his feel the need to mock young players, like what happened with Ben Shelton. All this stuffs and his father interviews over the years didn't helped his cause in being beloved as Federer and Nadal, or even more. A great athlete but bad sportsmanship and of course with lady luck on his side with Federer injured and then retired and Nadal injured for years and semi retired. Djokovic barely got injured, he skipped only 1 GS cuz of injuries, with this exit from RG he skipped two GS. Federer skipped 10 GS because of injuries and Nadal 14 GS, I think this should be taken into account also. Being injury free is luck based also, or does anyone think that a top athlete goes on the tennis court and says, yeah today I will destroy my knee, my shoulder, my ligaments and so on.😅

ok. lets say it matters that djokovics wins against federer are more when he was on the decline. What about when djokovic wasnt as good? 2003-2010. that means federer had more time to rack up wins against djokovic. With that being said it shouldnt matter that djokovic got his wins on the decline of federer because federer got his wins against a lesser djokovic.

[@ioaninmihail6470]

@@lordmaddoge2492 slower courts also speed wise, Djokovic style of play had a huge advantage later on without taking into account he was hitting his peak. Anyway don't feel the need to enter any polemics. I've just stated my thoughts. And regarding your reply, in my mind it is better to be young and fight a peak opponent then to be in decline and fight a peak opponent. 😅

In 1978, USTA changed the clay courts to hard courts. Imagine, if it remained clay courts, then all Federer's and Novak's US troplies would have been Nadal's.. Nadal would have 50 slams and Roger and Novak 15 each

[@Tennis_Served]

Thanks for watching and commenting. Yeh surface was a lot quicker even hard courts before plexicushion. This would have changed the narrative as well!

[@lloydfrazer4524]

Speculation. Result matters. 21 -7 hard court nole. 20-9 nadal on clay. How 50 slam come into play😊

Novak, Nadal, Roger in that order for the GOAT. I am a Nadal fan. Now if I go by who I like it would be Nadal, Roger, Novak.

[@Tennis_Served]

Yep head over heart. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@danielficarra2557]

Federer was the Jordan of tennis any debate is pointless to say anything other is better than him isn’t right. They’re all great but without Federer they’d be no ND etc

[@Don-po8vl]

That’s marketing. Even though I like Federer and Nadal more I think it’s Novak.

[@JoeV03]

That's just you being a dishonest Fed fan. Tennis is not basketball. It's an individual sport where records mean everything and Novak has crushed Roger already in EVERY major record. There is no discussion. Roger may be the face of tennis and Rafa was great on clay but Novak is the greatest tennis player ever and it's not close.

[@OkwyUgonweze]

You are making a pointless point if you think anyone is the goat but Djokovic.

[@kakashihatake1029]

By this logic, I can say that 1+1 is 3

[@mezutzizu]

Yes, Federer is Jordan of tennis, and Lebron is better than Jordan. Djokovic the GOAT.

[@6BURG9]

Joker is the GOAT, Fed is my favourite. It's not that complicated.

[@BomBomm12345]

How is Fed the goat with such lopsided head to head against Novak and Rafa

[@moluther2826]

H2H is misleading. For instance, Fed only lost so many finals at RG coz he was good enough to get there in the first place. Nadal did not play as many times on grass vs Fed

[@RealisticAndTrue]

Federer joined atp in 98, Nadal in 2001, djokovic in 2003, Federer is 6 years older by the time djokovic hit his prime, Federer was out of his, H2H would be valid if all started at the same time, but then again djokovic would not win anything 😎

[@BomBomm12345]

Fed had it easy.. collecting titles against scrubs way before Nadal and Novak came into tour let alone fine peak form.. the argument that Fed is older is invalid.. imagine a young dude like Rafa and Novak facing a peak Fed when they just entered tour..

[@BomBomm12345]

how can Fed be the goat when he cant even have a better head to head against Novak on all surfaces.. the argument on Fed being a old is invalid.. Fed was in his peak when Novak was starting out.. As for Nadal.. he defeated Fed on grass, hard courts in GS.. but Fed cant do the same to Rafa in French Open

[@RealisticAndTrue]

@@BomBomm12345 Let me just demolish your nonsense 🤣, Federer faced 12 world number 1 players: Sampras, Agassi, Hewitt, Saffin, Roddick, Moya, Rafter, Kuerten, Juan Carlos Ferero, Nadal, Murray, djokovic, djokovic faced 6, Federer, Nadal, Murray, Medvedev, Alcaraz and Sinner

[@justinianli1520]

Well said, could't leave a better conclusion honestly

[@Tennis_Served]

Thanks for watching. Appreciate the comment.

[@dondgamer]

Federer has given the most to the sport of Tennis, by a long way. He is also the most gifted by a long way. Statistics say Novak is the most winningest player in history but Federer is simply the best player in history. Federer in God Mode, I'll never see another player be that good. The Art of Winning is not by how much you've won, it's how easy you win. Federer = GOAT.

[@milanzoric3181]

😂

[@michael8597]

One who is 16-24 against one of his biggest rival, how can he be the GOAT ?? He is not even the best player of his generation and Stats speak for itself.

[@tabazlover]

What statistics are you using to denote that he was the best player in the history? Now, you are making up stuff?

[@michael8597]

@@dondgamer How easy you win ?? You mean against unseeded players. Yep, we all know pretty well that Federer is the GOAT in hitting dead snakes.

[@lloydfrazer4524]

Giving the most to tennis does not make you a goat. Grand slam and the important title are there. Statistics

[@kaithgreysanatomy]

Djokovic should win against two opponents simultaneously to prove himself the GOAT

[@eko5666]

novak is my goat but he would have only 1 french open if it wasn’t for rafa’s injuries so nadal having only 2 wimbledon titles isn’t a strong argument imo
