When I reflect on Kyrgios, I realize that in my world I'm him. I'd rather be him than be Rafa, always saying the right thing and having to pull my shorts out of my ass every three minutes.

The Kyrgios love reminds me of "We love Trump because he doesn't play politically correct like everyone else and he speaks from the heart"

My comment wasn't love for Kyrgios. I'm an ******* full of self-loathing.

I see it as Fed GOAT and Djoka snipping at his heels a bit. Rafa a great third.

But you're wrong since it is clearly 1. Rafa, 2. Djokovic. 3. Federer

No way.

Rafa in the last couple of seasons for me has closed the gap and arguably leapfrogged Roger.

We're also completely disregarding beasts like Laver who was brilliant on all surfaces and conditions.

Could even say he's won 19 slams. I've got him 3rd. Then Novax.

Can't wait until the thread title is changed back after Djoko wins AO

It's difficult to compare different generations but that doesn't mean we should just disqualify him outright without a second thought.

He was easily the best around that time, over a multi surfaces.

Who knows how he'd do with modern training programs, travel, sports science, nutrition, equipment etc etc

10, 20 years down the line players will be fitter, stronger, faster etc we can reasonably expect forehand and backhand median speeds to increase. More ball spins etc

You have to look at what they done and achieved in the game against their peers at the time.

If Rafa is the GOAT, why was his first, last and only win at the Australian Open in 2009, and his second and last win at Wimbledon in 2010? Two of the four slams he has not won in over 10 years.

That's why he and Roger are still there or there abouts, theres these little things that make this debate good.

Roger hasn't won the US since 2008 after winning it 5 times in a row. He's only won 1 French in 2009.

If anyone other than Rafa is the GOAT, why can't they even win double figures of their best slam

How can any of these big 4 mugs be considered GOAT when they've won fewer challengers combined than Paolo Lorenzi?

This is a good race, with Jokovic back in first by a nose and still looking strong, and Federer fading to a distant third down the backstretch.

Kinda same here.

Djoker is the GOAT, butnahhhhh or maybe?

Also Djokovic odds on to finish with more majors than either Fed or Rafa, as long as he doesn't hit tennis balls at a bunch more line judges.

Can't believe Djoko was robbed of both a Wimbledon and USO by happenstance

USO he did it to himself. If he wins wimbledon 2021 I'll be in full agreement that he was big-time favourite in 2020, I'd say he lost make 0.5 slam value.
I still think Rafa is favorite to finish with most slams, due to being 2 ahead now and the favourite to still take more french opens. If Rafa keeps winning 1 slam per year hell be very hard to catch. It'll be interesting to see the hoopla surrounding 21 for Rafa if he gets there this May.

I mean where there odds 20 years ago that three guys would shatter Sampras' majors record within the next 20 years? Better yet, that three guys would win 20 majors in that span?
