    Djokovic the G.o.a.t ?

    can anyone make an argument to the contrary? Surely he has passed the likes of Federer and Nadal at this point. His resume says yes!

    yup he is the GOAT

    i am a rafa fan saying this.

    the argument/discussion ended a few years ago.

    he has 24 slam titles, olympic gold, most wins ever in men's tennis,

    and 3 slam titles at each venue.

    it is a wrap.

    Big win in the Olympic final:
    1) Alcaraz's top surface.
    2) Djokovic too old.
    3) Djokovic coming off injury.

    Doesn't matter. He wins anyways. He is on a very short list.

    Alca is great on every surface.

    two wimby titles both over Djoker (grass is Joker's best surface?)

    Melbourne is his best surface, with Wimbledon not far behind (excluding this years final-i think he took some sleeping pils before that match).

    I think Carlos will make a run at it. Obviously predicting 15 years out is difficult but right now the competition doesn’t look as fierce as Djoker had it.And he already has 4 majors and he’s only 20.If he stays healthy, he has 60 majors to win 20. At the very least, I think Carlos gets past Pete and Roger.

    But even then, will he be the GOAT? So hard to compare different eras. He never beat Djokovic with Novak in his prime so it’s so hard to say.
