Time to crown Novak the GOAT?

[Fiero425]

Because his game is not as good as the other two my friend. He relies more on his physical prowess than the other two. Sorry to disappoint you troll!!

I can't tell you how many times commentators of matches w/ Nadal mentioned how vulnerable he was by brushing up the back of the ball too much on the FH-side that were so short, Novak just punished them! I didn't watch those Fedal redux matches of 2017-18 where Roger got the best of Nadal, but I'm guessing it was the same issue except Fed had a "new stick" to pounce on those short FH's! That was about technique; hence some bad losses to Fedovic when both appeared to be down and out!

And that will be a very sad day for tennis, indeed.

Ain't gonna happen.

That is a very false notion. It was dispelled years ago. Sorry you didn't get the memo. Nadal has many tools in his tool shed, and he's also one of the smartest players and problem solvers in the game. He's absolutely as good on his best day as Federer and Novak on theirs. That is why the debate goes on.

Understand Nadal was out of his prime during 2017-18 years you mentioned.

Nadal got bad Wrist injury in 2016 that messed up his forehand.

22-22# for good reason.

No; not really! The real reason is politics & an overreaction at the USO disqualifying Novak in 2020 when favored w/o Fedal in the draw!

That's that you going to say then it's 23-22!.

I don't agree with USO call in 2020 but Djokovic was losing the match anyway.

I like all big 3 the same by the way huge Djokovic fan.

Bro, PCB was leading Djokovic in the USO match (and that’s why Djokovic was having a meltdown) and PCB also beat him in the next hardcourt meeting at the Olympics. Move on.

Why do you not agree with it? It was an open and shut case. He clobbered the lineswoman with the ball. He could have took her eye out. Then he began his creepy bargaining at the net with the tournament official. “What does it matter what I do, she’s only a slave, she isn’t dead, she’s making a drama out of it, like an idiot. I’m Novak, you can’t do this.”

Novak would murder his granny for the W. When he falls afoul of the rules, you can generally guess who’s at fault…

I agree it's Djokovic own fault and by laws of tennis definitely DQ.

I was more on about something else apart from that.

I know, I just like having a jab at the Djokolytes who defend that phoney for all of his nonsenses. I don’t call him the Buddhist of Monte Carlo for no reason…

How do you call yourself a tennis fan? Tsitsipas & Zverev have been up in sets vs Novak! How many times has he come back in 5 @ USO & FO?

This is why is it incredibly derelict to call Novak the GOAT over Roger and especially Nadal. There's no WAY to distinguish the Three. It's a 3 headed GOAT as I said 5 years ago. It's like saying Brady is the greatest football player, ever heard of Jim Brown , Sweetness, Jerry Rice and Joe Montana.

11-7 & 10-4 in favor of GOATdal in the biggest matches. There is a clear GOAT but you just don’t want to admit it because you’re a butthurt fanboy.

Huh. U do realize I'm a bigger Nadal fan than you are.

Damn right Brady is the GOAT.

Holds the records, and in some cases LAPS the field as far as having practically every statistical passing record in regular season, playoff season AND SuperBowl. ONLY professional American athlete to hold that distinction in the major sports.

If you carve his careers into just his 20's, 30's & 40's , he would have a HALL OF FAME WORTHY career in each decade. Think about, in his forties, and at 45 he was still setting passing records (most completions in a season). His 40's alone he would qualify for a Hall of Fame. Again unique in all the 4 major professional team sports in the US (NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL). It's like rolling Federer, Nadal and Djokovic all into one.

Hail Brady the one and ONLY GOAT.

Glad I am completely objective.

American football is a major sport?

I find Brady irritating and am glad he retired but...he's the GOAT.

That said, football is a bit different than tennis, and I really think you have to consider it position by position. Meaning, there's really no point in comparing Brady to Jerry Rice or Jim Brown.

No other QB in history w/ so much controversy doing his job! It's been a ride, from "The Tuck Rule" to "Spy-gate, cell phone-gate, deflate-gate..."

Plus I've never seen a QB get so many favorable "pass interference" calls.
