Eh, I wouldn't go that far. If it ends up with Novak at 23 and Rafa stays at 22, there's no way you can say Djokovic is the GOAT. It'll be a debate that goes on for a long time.Doesn’t work that way. Most GS Titles is the GOAT. Objective biggest achievements should trump subjective views, unless there’s some obvious extenuating circumstances. There’s not. Whoever of the three ends with the most should be the GOAT.
Not at the moment, though. Grand Slam titles are the primary currency and he needs two more, I figure, as he gets the benefit of a doubt in a tie.Well, numbers would speak for themselves and he would be the undisputed best ever. Would he be celebrated as such? Probably not... but he still would be.
VAMOS. There it is.
I cannot wait for Nadal vs Kygrios
The GOAT debate is between Djokovic and Nadal. Federer is a clear 3rd and I don’t expect him to gain any ground from here on out.
I think that's based on off the court stuff as well and how much they're beloved. If we're talking strictly on court, Djokovic has a strong argument to be the best of the 3. Hell, he was pushing Federer to the brink in U.S. Opens when Federer was at his absolute peak and Djokovic was 20-21 and barely scratching the surface of what he would become, a Djokovic that was poorly conditioned at the time.Not at the moment, though.

In the public imagination, though, I think Rafa and Roger will be seen as the true legendary figures for some time.
Yeah, been there.It is not fun when you cheer for someone and then it comes out that they were accused of assault.
Sigh
Rafa is such a warrior. I hope he can win this tournament.
Djokovic will probably beat him in straight sets, but still...
