Well, to be very clear, the man on the street, the crowd at centre court, the analysts covering the sport all rightly adjudge Roger Federer to be the best tennis player to ever walk the earth. Arguably the greatest athlete to ever walk the earth. Were he - a couple of weeks from his 38th birthday - to beat Djokovic to win his 21st Grand Slam it will put an end point on any chink of discussion that it wasn't Federer, always and forever.
You know this to be true.
You also know that Djokovic winning tomorrow - as much as it will give you and your co conspirators on this thread a fun time for a few days - will barely displace the general consensus. In that way, your side of the "debate" has little to gain tomorrow but everything to lose. Harsh, but that's the nature of the scoreboard reading 20 - 15 and your boy being six years younger. Ye almost had something going to be fair, then the GOAT turned 35 and managed to reel off another three seasons of elite play. But that's just what GOATs do I guess - they redefine and reshape expectations within their sport.
