Time to crown Novak the GOAT?

Nothing has changed after this win as Alcaraz had physical problems and Nadal was out with injury. A huge asterisk win, almost as bad as Steffi going back on top after the Seles stabbing. Sorry to the fans of the bronze Olympics medallist but it’s the truth.

On no planet a player would rather win an ATP final or a M1000 over an Olympics gold medal, yet whoever created this elo stuff awarded it less points. Djokovic, Nadal, Federer, Murray all compared the Olympics to winning a slam. And in no planet someone would want to have 2 slam finals vs 1 slam title equally, even if they are awarded the same number of points. Stupid flawed system. lol
Pancho Gonzales was the top male professional tennis player 8 or 9 consecutive years…
Maybe you are right, but in tennis GS is valued at 2000 points, Мasters at 1000 and the Olympic gold medal at 750 points. While they recognized it.

That's because it's not an ATP event and because players can't defend the points next year. We've been over that debate many times.
Who else cares about your opinion? What matters is what the smart world thinks.

Yeah go ask each player in history if they'd rather have 1 slam title vs "2 m1000 and 1 atp 250 titles" or "2 slam finals and 1 slam qf" even though the latter two scenarios are awarded more elo points, and you'd know that you will get 100% answers picking the slam title proving that me & the smart world are much more intelligent than you and the stupid elo system. Fool.

Well there is, but you chose the stupid answer instead..
It's better to ask an ordinary tennis player whether he would prefer a GS or a gold medal from a tennis tournament at the Olympics. That would be the right question and the right answer. I believe that at least 90% of them would opt for GS.
You confirm my claim that there is no smart answer to a stupid question.
Let me remind you, you asked a stupid question.
