Sorry mate, and I mean no offense when I say this but that's some scouse logic. 😂 It doesn't matter how, where, when. It matters that it is. Manchester United is the greatest football club ever to grace England because we have 20. Nobody cares which era we won it, how many years ago, etc. Scousers will tally their champions league trophies and use that to lay claim to the mantle but the number is 20 and we have it. Same way, taking away a particular slam is doing a disservice to the numbers and to the guy. This man couldn't walk without crutches two months ago. This victory is testament to his longevity, class and talent. That Federer is old, Novak is brainless and the new generation simply not good enough, is not his fault. I also am not at all downplaying the achievements of the others. In fact, I am almost certain if Novak had played he'd have won this tournament, and I'd have no qualms calling him the greatest ever. At some point the numbers become important to cut through the chatter and debate to separate one from the rest and this is Rafa's moment. My humble two cents. Except all eras of football have been played on the same grass rectangle. If clay didn't exist Nadal wouldn't be in the discussion. If my aunt had a pair she'd be my uncle. What's your point? |

Nadal and Djokovic really are rather good at this whole tennis malarkey.

The next crop of tennis players are abit shit to be honest. Nadal is walking around on a busted foot and still won.

Watching Djokovic is like watching Usyk or Lomachenko in boxing. Just so relentlessly precise with everything it breaks their opponents will.

I always thought Sampras was the best I've seen but Federer at his peak was something else. If we’re talking about peaks, I’d say it’s Djokovic who played the best tennis I have ever seen at any tennis player’s peak. He was the literal terminator imo. |

Novak is a great player but hes fucking boring to watch. His raw athleticism wears players down. Statistically Federer might not be the best but neither was Zidane or Maradona on paper but I'd still put my money on either against the best players ever. |

Has that justified assured arrogance that the absolute peak greatest have. I think Djokovic might be the greatest 'machine' ever but Federer is something else. It's Cristiano Ronaldo vs Zidane. |
