So who's the male tennis GOAT?

[Master]

Wanted Krigios to win but Novak just too strong.

Kyrgios is going to win his share of majors for sure. Huge talent.

But today it seemed like he should've had a cut man and trainer in his corner. He kept jawing at something/someone during the last few games of the match.

I wonder if tennis is headed into a trash-talking era.

BTW... IMHO...

Novak - GOAT
Rafa - #2 (grudgingly)
Roger - #3

I said a few years ago is going to be strange given Roger will likely end up the least slams.

But i stand by Roger as GOAT going by how I wrote how the slams I believe would go all in their prime. Roger Wimbledon and US. Nadal French and Djok the Australian.

Kyrgios is really physically talented, but mentally very weak. He played and served superbly, probably the best he could have done and he still got pretty comprehensively outplayed. That’s what happens when you’re up against one of the best players to ever pick up a raquet

He was constantly looking for someone else to blame though. A real sign of weakness that would have delighted Djokovic

I hadn't seen Kyrgios play before... and he really seems to have an unlimited ceiling as far as talent goes.

But I read up on him, and man... he seems like a bit of a dick.

It's ok to have youthful exuberance and all that. But c'mon...

I watched the Borg Mcenroe film again at the weekend - well just the ending really.

And now after looking at his performance timeline I think I may have been completely dismissive of Borg when disregarding him in the GOAT argument.

Active for just 9 seasons and won 11 slams. Only played in the Australian once and had to skip a French open due to contractual reasons at a time he was as dominant as Nadal on that surface. Ok he never won a US Open but got to 4 finals in that period at a when Connors and Mcenroe were favourites over there.

Yes he played in a time of wooden rackets and a very different game and era but just saying I maybe should not have disregarded him so quickly.

Borg was a favourite of mine but retired early for some strange reason.
