Goat in my heart for ever, Roger!❤It’s you, only you, made me to enjoy tennis as a sport as well as an art! Miss you, those greatest performances on all courts!❤
RF the greatest of all times...nobody played all kinds of games like he did. But more importantly his behaviour towards his rivals and his fans: the class in all ways. You will always be in our mind. Good continuation dear Roger.
I believe Roger Federer to be the goat mainly because stats aren't everything, his grace on and off the court is unmatched, at his peak, he was practically unstoppable, and he has a satisfying style of play. His strokes are graceful and elegant while also being deadly. Compared to his other rivals Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal are baseline grinders who get the job done, but when you think of tennis who comes to mind first? For me, it will always be Roger.

@@asu4817 OK if you want to go off that angle then fine. I am not going to argue which one brings more or less to younger players, because I don't know. But based on my assessment, certain players in history bring a little something extra besides winning lots of matches. Among these are Borg, McEnroe, Sampras, and Federer. Neither of these players would beat their peers in stats, but there's a certain intangible quality. Borg was like a rock star back in his days. McEnroe brought a game that was pretty strange, but he won a lot with it, and an attitude that is quite unique. It's irreverent for sure but not vulgar like Jimmy Connors or nasty like Nastasie. Sampras brought serve and volley game in tennis to a new level and looked so relax as he delivered one bomb after another. And then there's Federer, a player who can hit so many different shots and win the point. Many of these shots seem so improbable that even top tier competitors had to shake their head in disbelief.
@@tomsd8656 novak bring the greatest return of all time and the greatest Backhand !!😅 If you watch tennis you would realize that Nadal still bring one of the greatest Forhands in the game
The world will miss the best person to play the game of tennis. His style, shot selection,speed,grace,and sportsmanship is second to none. He brought something to tennis that will be missed. To me he made everyone better. He is the GOAT.

All of us in this modern world, are always looking for a champion because we want to believe and agree that we can be champions as well. Roger Federer is going to be remembered for his all around game and his formal professional image. Federer has made so many tremendous shots, returns and he has suffered a lot, and who hasn't; but, in tennis, to suffer and still dominate is a champion's fire, a champion's torch. Federer could endorse Q-Tips and the product would fly of the shelves!! Cheers to Roger Federer.
Fed's game is very weak on backhand defense, return is why his career stats agaisnt novak/nadal are horrible..He has a 33% winning percentage in GS matches, he didn't even beat nadal once at french, ,lossed 3 ttimes in a row to Djokovici on his supposed best surface and crowds on his side too..Which means his mental strength is very weak and his tennis smarts is very weak too,,when Fed plays he doesn't think like djoki he just relies on the old sqaush game and the crowds oogling over him when he had a easy run of GS 2003-2009...50% of his titles were on the B circuit 250/500 and 50% of GS finals the opponents were ranked 10 and up!! He could even win all the master titles..So he is ok player but his mastery is selling watches and running shoes!!
Roger is 5 years older than both Rafa and Novak. Back when players were retiring in their early 30s, 5 years is equivalent to a generation. When it's all said and done, I believe Novak will hold all the "relevant" stats the people will typically use to measure greatness (GS titles, # of Masters 1000 titles, Weeks at #1, H2H records, etc.). That will definitely build towards the greatness of Novak Djokovic no question. However, we also have to recognize how the game has evolved. Today, the game is so much faster that fitness plays a much bigger factor than ever. The two players that made fitness a big factor are Lendl and Navratilova. It transformed the game where the players were forced to train in order to be successful; talent alone isn't enough anymore. Case in point - Nick Kyrgios. Before this year Nick's body just couldn't handle the rigors of tour life and eventually all his talent was sidelined due to injury or recovery. He's started training this year and you can see the difference. And that's sort of where I stand with Roger Federer. He possesses both the raw talent and the discipline of fitness training to maximize his tennis potential. It's plain to the casual observer how talented Roger actually is because his fitness level is able to support the rigors of the evolving sport. He makes the impossible shots look easy and the improvised look planned. And that's where Roger's greatness exists.
,,Relevant'' is ALL that counts. An what untypically measurements? Headband? Sponsorships?

At Laver Cup he had more sponsors than Rod Laver. When sponsors stop talking, numbers will start. He is not even the second best.FACT. In your emotional lalaland he is the GOAT.
@@TennisTalkOfficial agreed, I was lucky in learning it. Two handed just feels so weird when you learn the single handed. My brother used to have two forehand’s, lol. He’d switch hands and have no backhands. Lol
@@TennisTalkOfficial yes, I actually couldn’t believe that he could do that and fairly well also. He didn’t like to play though, just once in awhile. I tried it and no way. Sure would set the tennis game on its head if someone could master the twin forehand attack style. Especially if they were lethal forehand’s. Lol
He is without a doubt the greatest.. His style, his tecnique, his allcourt playing style, his personality… If we had fast courts still like 20 years ago he would had outnumbered Djoko and Nadal easily with slams.. Maybe 30 slams or more… Federer=the greatest
@@deanfraser419 dont expect me to give full respect to Djoko and Nadal. I have followed their careers from the start until now. Nadal has 22 slams and Djoko 21…but in numeral cases throw those slams over the years they have been shoving the sport off tennis less respect throw their behaviour….so many times they been using medical timeouts just to take the momentum away from their opponents…maybe on their way to loose in the fourth round and then doing this kind of stuff to turn the game around and finally been standing there with the trophy in the end. Is that respect? Dont expect me to show them respect when they dont show the sport tennis respect themaelves..tennis is not only numbers or the amount of slams you win-its also about how you win them…so dont give me that bullshit…
@@kjellbergvall4605 so going to medical timeout automatically gives to superpower to win the game. That's some bullshit argument. RF is one of the fakest goat. He won most of his grand slam in time between old Sampras and young RN n NJ. Can't play under pressure, always cries in press conference. How you win matters to people who can't justify anything. This is not a beauty pageant, its a sport winning matter. H2H matters in individual sport. Also by your logic if how you win matters then how you lose matter too. When going gets tough some rise to the occasion while some fizzle out and we all know who shrinks in pressure.
He's our favourite and no one will ever take his place in our heart.. But he isn't the goat.. That's Novak.. The stats can't be denied.. Roger is an emotion.. He made me nervous, angry (shank BH argh) amazed and stunned me with his brilliance.. how I'll miss him .. Damn

Regarding the head to head between Federer and Nadal: Nadal often didn't go that deep in hard and grass court tournaments. If he had he would have faced Federer many more times in said tournaments. However Federer did make it to a lot of clay court finals where he faced who else. If Nadal had gone deeper in the hard and grass court tournaments I believe the H2H would have been a lot different. Nadal never won a Masters title or Miami which is a big hole in his record. Let's face it, Nadal is the greatest clay court player ever. Yet he still won 8 Grand Slams on hard and grass courts which is better than most and certainly nothing to scoff at.
I think Roger is the GOAT, but I think Nadal is just a step behind, and with Novak a step behind him. Roger may not have the most Grand Slams, but he changed tennis so much, and made every other tennis player work so much harder to keep up with him. Roger played the game with so much grace. Nadal is a monster on the court, and Novak reminds me of Agassi, who was a real work horse on the court. These 3 players are so good, that the title The GOAT could go to anyone of them, at different points of their career. You could say, they are the 3 GOAT of Tennis. It's amazing to have 3 players in one sport, that are so evenly matched in their success in a sport. It's just unreal, because they destroy everyone else. They are also some of the most fit guys in sports as well. I wonder if we will have another player that ends up actually being better than them in the future... That will be something to see.
The GOAT of course . There are so many criteria to define the Best that it seems to me stupid define the number of GS a player has won as the only one. Of course quantification is important but besides that there are other aspects like skills, smoothness, etc, etc. No one compares with Roger at the whole package. And that is the reason he is an icon that overcome tennis and made him one of the best sportsmen of all time. What a loss for tennis!

One of the worst of Tour. And yes, Roger has a very good backhand. Just see how he defeated Nadal at the Australian open. Definitely from tennis you are a zero.
Even though Rafa is my favorite tennis player ever, it would be almost rude to say that Roger isn’t the GOAT of tennis. He has done so much for our generation and generations to come. Not only has the achievements and matches he has won boosted himself as a player, but he is also a super nice and generous guy. Like they said, it’s hard not to like him! Even though Rafa is my goat, Roger is THE goat!
Misleading thumbnail suggests that his contemporaries do NOT like him. So many desperate channel owners trying to accumulate page views under false pretenses.
Al vaker gezegd statistieken zijn belangrijk maar niet het belangrijkste mijn gevoel zegd dat federer de allerbeste ooit is en zal zijn dan hebben we nog federer in zijn prime echt het beste wat ik ooit heb gezien(allround) en vergeet niet dat als nadal niet zo goed was op gravel federer er nog zeker 3 o 4 keer roland garros had kunnen winnen trouwens al die verloren finales van nadal op roland garros is ook ongeëvenaard als je zou vragen aan heel veel mensen wie de maestro van tennis is dan zouden ze zonder aarzelen federer zeggen maestro federer zouden jullie nadal of djokovic maestro noemen voor mijn gevoel klopt dat niet gevoelsmatig
The GOAT argument is half-setteled ! It's between Nole and Nadal... It sure ain't Roger, not anymore. Numbers count most, not opinions of so many adult fan-girls who keep moving the goal-post to suit their crush! Sure Roger's artistic movement looks great but if that's the thing you most enjoy then please go watch some ballet. There is so much more to tennis. As a player Roger is not the GOAT, but he can be the face or icon of tennis as he brought so much attention, interest and new fans to tennis. Don't mix these two things up.
@@TennisTalkOfficial well obviously if you took rod laver from that era and put him against today's players, the difference is huge. all you can do is compare a player to the era they played in. otherwise players like mcenroe, edberg wouldn't be considered even in the top 50 since courts these days don't let serve and volley be your main game. on the same token, you put djokovic and rafa in the 60s, and they wouldn't be able to hit a forehand. they'd shank 95/100 since the racquets then don't let them hit like this.
@@TennisTalkOfficial yes i mean i'm a huge roger fan and if i was to choose one of the top 3 as the greatest, i would choose roger for sure. but you put any of these guys into the 80s and 90s even, against a pete sampras or boom boom becker on those fast courts, i'm nore sure they would dominate. borg retired at age 26 with 11 slams. impossible to say definitively who the greatest is. people have short memories, many journalists haven't seen roger's early years cause they're too young and don't know how to research. but if roger is the goat for you, that's great. he's done more than enough to be considered as the goat.
@@TennisTalkOfficial no one doubts that. the point is, would he dominate tennis when he's playing against sampras, becker, edberg and the like who are all world class on fast courts. you don't know and it's impossible to say.
Nadal does hold more wins over Federer. However that being said 16 of their 40 matches were played on clay and Rafa won 14 of them. Federer has won the majority of their grass and hard court matches. If they had played each other as many times on grass that they have on clay, no doubt roger would have more wins.
The GOAT.🙄 Here we go again with the ridiculous concept of comparing eras. All any athlete can ever be is one of the greats. There is no such thing as the objectively greatest. If you dominate your era, you can be the greatest of the era. Or the GOTE.🤣
Call me a pedant if you want, but is it asking too much that the narrator of this video should know how to pronounce the name of tennis legend Rod Laver? Or, at least, know how to pronounce the world's most prestigious tournament? (It's Wimble-Don - not Wimble-Ton!) Small points, maybe, but it does rather detract from the authority of the video when it's clear the dude fronting things knows diddly-squat about the game.
I think he is greatest popular player ...but not the Greatest of all time. Right now Djokovic is the greatest even with one less slam than Nadal....the buttom line is that the numbers dont lie and popularity do matter...The numbers H2H ...and fitness and playing tougher opponents...gives Djokovic the edge over both Nadal and Federer.
No Nadal is a wicked man envious and jealous with evil spirit , it seems he thinks he should be the game by himself and if he seems to react to every player and is a respective of persons , due to the comment he made about Alcarez
When you make video about YOUR favourite tennis player you must consider some facts. NOT emotionally fueled rubbish. Federer is not even no 2. Djokovic is by far the GOAT in tennis and has been for years. Look up his stats, count. It's not even a debate. How conveniently people forget weeks as ATP no1, which prove consistency and real level of work? 373 weeks as the World No1!! That's 1 year & 11 weeks clear of Federer!! That's 3 years & 8 weeks clear of Nadal!! Big titles recorder by far. Masters titles recorder. Only Golden masters title holder. All 4 Grand slams titles holder at the same time. 7 times Year end No1 and recorder. 21 Grand slams titles holder and runner up. ATP finals 5 times title holder and runner up. ATP points recorder by 16975. So in all key indicators only Nadal outnumbers him by 1 on Grand slams and Olympics medals and Federer by 1 on ATP finals. Too few to be enough for any of them to be objectively considered GOAT. Before Djokovic outnumbered Federer on the Weeks being No1 as the most comprehensive indicator, I considered that Federer is GOAT but now it is very obvious that Novak is by far ahead. We can add that Djokovic is better in head 2 head from both of them as well, but that is less important than titles and key records of absolute value.
One comment for all Federer fans. You will find in Brazil thousands of football player with more football finesse than Messi and C.Ronaldo. Are they in your view better? ,,HE IS GOAT NOT BY RECORDS BUT CLASS ABOVE ALL''? Class for what? At Laver Cup he had more sponsors than Rod Laver. When sponsors stop talking, numbers will start. He is not even the second best.FACT. In your emotional lalaland he is the GOAT.

Fed's game is very weak on backhand defense, return is why his career stats agaisnt novak/nadal are horrible..He has a 33% winning percentage in GS matches, he didn't even beat nadal once at french, ,lossed 3 ttimes in a row to Djokovici on his supposed best surface and crowds on his side too..Which means his mental strength is very weak and his tennis smarts is very weak too,,when Fed plays he doesn't think like djoki he just relies on the old sqaush game and the crowds oogling over him when he had a easy run of GS 2003-2009...50% of his titles were on the B circuit 250/500 and 50% of GS finals the opponents were ranked 10 and up!! He could even win all the master titles..So he is ok player but his mastery is selling watches and running shoes!!
The greatest.
After McEnroe, we had the privilege to enjoy Federer.
I personally agree! I loved McEnroe! Thanks for stopping by and leaving feedback, I appreciate it!
We will miss you Roger
Roger Federer is the greatest tennis player of all time ❤🥇🥎🇨🇭
To me, Roger Federer will forever be the goat! He transcended and elevated the game.
Roger is 5 years older than both Rafa and Novak. Back when players were retiring in their early 30s, 5 years is equivalent to a generation. When it's all said and done, I believe Novak will hold all the "relevant" stats the people will typically use to measure greatness (GS titles, # of Masters 1000 titles, Weeks at #1, H2H records, etc.). That will definitely build towards the greatness of Novak Djokovic no question. However, we also have to recognize how the game has evolved. Today, the game is so much faster that fitness plays a much bigger factor than ever. The two players that made fitness a big factor are Lendl and Navratilova. It transformed the game where the players were forced to train in order to be successful; talent alone isn't enough anymore. Case in point - Nick Kyrgios. Before this year Nick's body just couldn't handle the rigors of tour life and eventually all his talent was sidelined due to injury or recovery. He's started training this year and you can see the difference. And that's sort of where I stand with Roger Federer. He possesses both the raw talent and the discipline of fitness training to maximize his tennis potential. It's plain to the casual observer how talented Roger actually is because his fitness level is able to support the rigors of the evolving sport. He makes the impossible shots look easy and the improvised look planned. And that's where Roger's greatness exists.
Love that mate
,,Relevant'' is ALL that counts. An what untypically measurements? Headband? Sponsorships?

God you talk utter shit , Federer is the goat end of
I am your 1000th subscriber. Congratulations guys! . I had to make it a rounded figure..
No doubt about he is goat .many
People started watching tennis 🎾 because of him and he contribute a lot to this sport. Love to see watching him to play
Wish we can see more him to play
THE GREATEST AMONG GREATS. NOT THE RECORDS BUT CLASS IS ABOVE ALL.
WITH THE RETIREMENT OF FEDERER NO TENNIS LOVE, SEEING FEDERER CHARMING PLAY TENNIS LOVE BORN.
You will find in Brazil thousands of football player with more football finesse than Messi and C.Ronaldo.
Are they in your view better? ,,NOT THE RECORDS BUT CLASS IS ABOVE ALL''? Class for what?
At Laver Cup he had more sponsors than Rod Laver. When sponsors stop talking, numbers will start.
He is not even the second best.FACT. In your emotional lalaland he is the GOAT.
Absolutely Roger. Who are we going to watch now? He will be missed!
@@TennisTalkOfficial I think Casper Ruud
Number one on my favourite list for sure. Taught me that real men don’t need two hands on the backhand. 👊🏾✊🏽
@@TennisTalkOfficial agreed, I was lucky in learning it. Two handed just feels so weird when you learn the single handed. My brother used to have two forehand’s, lol. He’d switch hands and have no backhands. Lol
@@TennisTalkOfficial yes, I actually couldn’t believe that he could do that and fairly well also. He didn’t like to play though, just once in awhile. I tried it and no way. Sure would set the tennis game on its head if someone could master the twin forehand attack style. Especially if they were lethal forehand’s. Lol
I watched tennis only because of Roger.
He is without a doubt the greatest..
His style, his tecnique, his allcourt playing style, his personality…
If we had fast courts still like 20 years ago he would had outnumbered Djoko and Nadal easily with slams..
Maybe 30 slams or more…
Federer=the greatest
@@deanfraser419 dont expect me to give full respect to Djoko and Nadal. I have followed their careers from the start until now. Nadal has 22 slams and Djoko 21…but in numeral cases throw those slams over the years they have been shoving the sport off tennis less respect throw their behaviour….so many times they been using medical timeouts just to take the momentum away from their opponents…maybe on their way to loose in the fourth round and then doing this kind of stuff to turn the game around and finally been standing there with the trophy in the end. Is that respect? Dont expect me to show them respect when they dont show the sport tennis respect themaelves..tennis is not only numbers or the amount of slams you win-its also about how you win them…so dont give me that bullshit…
@@kjellbergvall4605 so going to medical timeout automatically gives to superpower to win the game. That's some bullshit argument. RF is one of the fakest goat. He won most of his grand slam in time between old Sampras and young RN n NJ. Can't play under pressure, always cries in press conference. How you win matters to people who can't justify anything. This is not a beauty pageant, its a sport winning matter. H2H matters in individual sport. Also by your logic if how you win matters then how you lose matter too. When going gets tough some rise to the occasion while some fizzle out and we all know who shrinks in pressure.
@@rupeshbudhathoki4800 why talk to an idiot..
Roger all the way
He's our favourite and no one will ever take his place in our heart.. But he isn't the goat.. That's Novak.. The stats can't be denied.. Roger is an emotion.. He made me nervous, angry (shank BH argh) amazed and stunned me with his brilliance.. how I'll miss him .. Damn
@@TennisTalkOfficial that'd been really amazing 😌😌
He is the best by far always we’ll be 😊

Regarding the head to head between Federer and Nadal: Nadal often didn't go that deep in hard and grass court tournaments. If he had he would have faced Federer many more times in said tournaments. However Federer did make it to a lot of clay court finals where he faced who else. If Nadal had gone deeper in the hard and grass court tournaments I believe the H2H would have been a lot different. Nadal never won a Masters title or Miami which is a big hole in his record. Let's face it, Nadal is the greatest clay court player ever. Yet he still won 8 Grand Slams on hard and grass courts which is better than most and certainly nothing to scoff at.
I can't say who the GOAT is in tennis but someone would have to present a pretty good case that anyone was better.
Roger is the greatest
Novak and Rafa have won more slams, but Roger is simply the GOAT.
🐐😃👍
Federer is the tennis,thats it
Eventually Novak will prevail in terms of slams, one-on-one and masters. But Roger will always be the most artistic, specially the backhand
I think Roger is the GOAT, but I think Nadal is just a step behind, and with Novak a step behind him. Roger may not have the most Grand Slams, but he changed tennis so much, and made every other tennis player work so much harder to keep up with him.
Roger played the game with so much grace. Nadal is a monster on the court, and Novak reminds me of Agassi, who was a real work horse on the court.
These 3 players are so good, that the title The GOAT could go to anyone of them, at different points of their career. You could say, they are the 3 GOAT of Tennis. It's amazing to have 3 players in one sport, that are so evenly matched in their success in a sport. It's just unreal, because they destroy everyone else.
They are also some of the most fit guys in sports as well. I wonder if we will have another player that ends up actually being better than them in the future... That will be something to see.
He is the GOAT
Marie Naidoo South Africa
The GOAT of course . There are so many criteria to define the Best that it seems to me stupid define the number of GS a player has won as the only one. Of course quantification is important but besides that there are other aspects like skills, smoothness, etc, etc. No one compares with Roger at the whole package. And that is the reason he is an icon that overcome tennis and made him one of the best sportsmen of all time. What a loss for tennis!

Skills, SMOOTHNESS? Is his backhand good. The whole package is Djokovic. Are you 12 year old?
SMOOTHNESS, etc, etc Jesus christ. The best sportsman of all time? The best headband of all time!!!! Shut UP!!!
@@milanm403 , you name says everything. You are fanatic and don't understand anything of tennis. Luckly you are quite few when compared with biggest fan base one player has. Roger, of course. Or do you think we all love him because he has nice eyes. C'mon grow. I was already seing tennis and you were not born yet. The headless chicken it seem Novak when does slice. One of the worst of Tour. And yes, Roger has a very good backhand. Just see how he defeated Nadal at the Australian open. Definitely from tennis you are a zero.
Even though Rafa is my favorite tennis player ever, it would be almost rude to say that Roger isn’t the GOAT of tennis. He has done so much for our generation and generations to come. Not only has the achievements and matches he has won boosted himself as a player, but he is also a super nice and generous guy. Like they said, it’s hard not to like him! Even though Rafa is my goat, Roger is THE goat!
Rafa too thinks Roger is the greatest.
Roger is the GOAT. No doubt
Misleading thumbnail suggests that his contemporaries do NOT like him. So many desperate channel owners trying to accumulate page views under false pretenses.
Al vaker gezegd statistieken zijn belangrijk maar niet het belangrijkste mijn gevoel zegd dat federer de allerbeste ooit is en zal zijn dan hebben we nog federer in zijn prime echt het beste wat ik ooit heb gezien(allround) en vergeet niet dat als nadal niet zo goed was op gravel federer er nog zeker 3 o 4 keer roland garros had kunnen winnen trouwens al die verloren finales van nadal op roland garros is ook ongeëvenaard als je zou vragen aan heel veel mensen wie de maestro van tennis is dan zouden ze zonder aarzelen federer zeggen maestro federer zouden jullie nadal of djokovic maestro noemen voor mijn gevoel klopt dat niet gevoelsmatig
Djokovic can be maestro too, he was more weeks at World No. 1 than any other male tennis player ever in the history of the game.
The GOAT argument is half-setteled ! It's between Nole and Nadal... It sure ain't Roger, not anymore. Numbers count most, not opinions of so many adult fan-girls who keep moving the goal-post to suit their crush! Sure Roger's artistic movement looks great but if that's the thing you most enjoy then please go watch some ballet. There is so much more to tennis. As a player Roger is not the GOAT, but he can be the face or icon of tennis as he brought so much attention, interest and new fans to tennis. Don't mix these two things up.
Goat, arty tennis
greatest of all time is rod laver. the dude won the grand slam twice in his career. TWICE.
@@TennisTalkOfficial well obviously if you took rod laver from that era and put him against today's players, the difference is huge. all you can do is compare a player to the era they played in. otherwise players like mcenroe, edberg wouldn't be considered even in the top 50 since courts these days don't let serve and volley be your main game. on the same token, you put djokovic and rafa in the 60s, and they wouldn't be able to hit a forehand. they'd shank 95/100 since the racquets then don't let them hit like this.
@@TennisTalkOfficial yes i mean i'm a huge roger fan and if i was to choose one of the top 3 as the greatest, i would choose roger for sure. but you put any of these guys into the 80s and 90s even, against a pete sampras or boom boom becker on those fast courts, i'm nore sure they would dominate. borg retired at age 26 with 11 slams. impossible to say definitively who the greatest is. people have short memories, many journalists haven't seen roger's early years cause they're too young and don't know how to research. but if roger is the goat for you, that's great. he's done more than enough to be considered as the goat.
@@TennisTalkOfficial no one doubts that. the point is, would he dominate tennis when he's playing against sampras, becker, edberg and the like who are all world class on fast courts. you don't know and it's impossible to say.
@@TennisTalkOfficial sure ok
Nadal does hold more wins over Federer. However that being said 16 of their 40 matches were played on clay and Rafa won 14 of them. Federer has won the majority of their grass and hard court matches. If they had played each other as many times on grass that they have on clay, no doubt roger would have more wins.
Roger would have many more slams if ATP didnt slow down courts since 2008
The GOAT.🙄
Here we go again with the ridiculous concept of comparing eras.
All any athlete can ever be is one of the greats. There is no such thing as the objectively greatest.
If you dominate your era, you can be the greatest of the era. Or the GOTE.🤣
Hey creator you are far too biased. Take federer out of your mouth and be more neutral. There is nothing wrong with picking nadal or novak over fed
Roger is pretty good, but can't hold a candle to Vitas Gerulaitis!
Nice clickbait thumbnail 🙄🙄
Rod Lay-ver...
Of course Rogers is GOAT.Next I would say is Nadal .They both are good hearted .Novak is mean.
Nole GOAT
Stop with these clickbait thumbnails and false information. You are trying to create drama to get more views.
ROD WHAT
Call me a pedant if you want, but is it asking too much that the narrator of this video should know how to pronounce the name of tennis legend Rod Laver? Or, at least, know how to pronounce the world's most prestigious tournament? (It's Wimble-Don - not Wimble-Ton!) Small points, maybe, but it does rather detract from the authority of the video when it's clear the dude fronting things knows diddly-squat about the game.
I think he is greatest popular player ...but not the Greatest of all time. Right now Djokovic is the greatest even with one less slam than Nadal....the buttom line is that the numbers dont lie and popularity do matter...The numbers H2H ...and fitness and playing tougher opponents...gives Djokovic the edge over both Nadal and Federer.
😞👍👍
Who rates Pat Cash anyway one slam to his name he’s always hated Federer you can tell when he’s commentated on his games at Wimbledon
Novak Yokovic? This robot voice needs retraining.
Click bait...
tha Lahver Cup
No Nadal is a wicked man envious and jealous with evil spirit , it seems he thinks he should be the game by himself and if he seems to react to every player and is a respective of persons , due to the comment he made about Alcarez
What?
same BS propaganda numbers do matter head to head does matter most years as no 1 matters especially with athletes he competed at the same time
Roger Federer: tennis god. Novak Djokovic: better than a tennis god.................
@@TennisTalkOfficial I respect your opinion. I'm sure a lot of folks share it with you.
NOVAK DJOKOVIC IS G.O.A.T.🐐
When you make video about YOUR favourite tennis player you must consider some facts. NOT emotionally fueled rubbish.
Federer is not even no 2.
Djokovic is by far the GOAT in tennis and has been for years. Look up his stats, count. It's not even a debate. How conveniently people forget weeks as ATP no1, which prove consistency and real level of work? 373 weeks as the World No1!! That's 1 year & 11 weeks clear of Federer!! That's 3 years & 8 weeks clear of Nadal!! Big titles recorder by far. Masters titles recorder. Only Golden masters title holder. All 4 Grand slams titles holder at the same time. 7 times Year end No1 and recorder. 21 Grand slams titles holder and runner up. ATP finals 5 times title holder and runner up. ATP points recorder by 16975. So in all key indicators only Nadal outnumbers him by 1 on Grand slams and Olympics medals and Federer by 1 on ATP finals. Too few to be enough for any of them to be objectively considered GOAT. Before Djokovic outnumbered Federer on the Weeks being No1 as the most comprehensive indicator, I considered that Federer is GOAT but now it is very obvious that Novak is by far ahead. We can add that Djokovic is better in head 2 head from both of them as well, but that is less important than titles and key records of absolute value.
One comment for all Federer fans.
You will find in Brazil thousands of football player with more football finesse than Messi and C.Ronaldo.
