Re: So who's the male tennis GOAT?
Again I come back to the difficulties of saying who the GOAT is and the arguments for each.
Nadal is suffering now and for me will likely remain on 22 now unless he just comes back for the French next year, whereas Djokovic could potentially add one or two more. The Fed won't get another now.
I did a slam season prediction above based on them all in their prime and taking Djokovic out of that I see prime Fed v prime Nadal in all four finals.
Fed wins Australian
Nadal hammers him in French final (Nadal on clay has to be the greatest domination of an event in sporting history)
Fed wins Wimbledon
The American goes all the way to a deciding tie break, flip a coin, but in their prime I'd fancy Roger that little bit more
So there you go, that's my opinion on the GOAT and I have Roger swaying it.
As said above by X they did change the surfaces and balls at Wimbledon to favour the baseliners. Don't know why they did this as I liked that type of game at Wimbledon in 80s and 90s as it made it a bit different. Roger would have defo won more Wimbledons with this style.
Anyway the debate will go on and on for decades. An era we've been lucky to witness.
