Really it doesn't matter, because regarless, Massu is GOAT.

Nadal ate Fed's cake a long time ago

I, for one, am not even following the Olympics, let alone the tennis at the event -- this is of how little consequence, a Federer or Djok event means to me.

Neither am I (apart from the occasional scores) and nor should anybody who knows a thing or two about Dow and its history.. But nevermind...

I think he is a better judge of its stature and what it means to you really does not matter

It's more like cake and three colors of icing with no sprinkles.

The tennis pundits of the world got together and named Fed the GOAT. Anyone who says anyone else is GOAT is stating an unofficial private opinion...mainly that they have a man-crush on Rafa (in this case).

Sorry you are a loser who has no Gold Medals......Tell me when you have a Singles Gold Medal to make fun of a DBLS gold medal.

Even doubles slam winners aren't losers. Anyone who wins on the biggest stage is not a loser. Only time you are is when you choke badly......or have a snobby attitude like Harrison.

Fine...

And I don't give a dam* what the pundits, whose jobs depend on playcating as much as analyzing, say!

But why? I don't care about Olympics that much in general (I barely follow anything there except tennis, I followed basketball back in the day but that's about it) but I'd watch Fed, Novak, Tsonga, Murray etc. play even in a 250 event, just because he tourney isn't that big/important doesn't mean tennis can't still be good.

If Federer wins gold at the Olympics, will suresh still be in contention for troll GOAT? I don't think so, he'll have to be relegated to second tier troll.

In your opinion if Fed wins London, then is he the GOAT ?
