End the debate- Goathood riddles

[DanG7]

federer is the goat. Why?

kids in 50 years will play to replicate federer. They dream of being like roger, just like golf kids would dream of being tiger or basketball kids dream of being jordan or football kids dream of being messi.

unfortunately for these kids these named athletes are genetically gifted freaks, whose style can not and will not be replicated- you won’t see amother Jordan. You won’t see another federer or woods because they are freaks of nature they bend the rules- halt- they don’t bend the rules they make the rules- they are the one-if they were movie characters they would essentially be neo from the matrix because rules don’t apply to them.

now if you consider your goat on different metrics such as-
Oh I dominated a tour when my two main rivals (federer and nadal) were finished and I beat up on a load of kids (exempt zverev/theim/medvedev) when the tour wasn’t particularly strong then maybe Novak is your man.

folks the most compelling thing about Djokovic is how damaged he is trying to chase the glory and love and affection that nadal federer hey it’s actually quite sad.

honourable mention to goat contender nadal- the true krptonite of neo Fed.

If you can tell the future, let me know what next week's lottery numbers are. Otherwise, stop pretending you know what kids will do. Borg was the biggest superstar tennis had ever seen and nowadays kids barely know his name.

[DanG7]

Borg is an icon- one who federer admired. Now tennis is a global sport- Borgs legacy won’t be forgotten but- majority of modern day kids (born in 90/2000s will attest to being federer fans. His global appeal is unquestionable and undisputed. Federer and nadals impact on the game in the mid 2000s took tennis to another level- Novak is a third wheel.

 

[DjokoLand]

Federer earned more endorsements than any sports person over last 5 years that included Messi, Ronaldo and Lebron. But sorry to break it too you in 50 years when Slams are played it will bring up the most slam titles and longest time at #1.
Federer style will be remembered more now than in 50 years. Nobody cares how a player played 50 years ago and it’s that simple

Sorry djokoland but- federer still holds a lot of records- including-

MOST GRAND SLAMS (20) (Joint-nadal/Djokovic)
MOST WORLD TOUR FINALS-6
MOST WIMBELDON TITLES (8)
and many others.

federer is here to stay- his records are undeniable.

No I mean if he loses GS record. As I said before Fed has the style that attracts casual fans but in 50 years only tennis fans will know him and most would of never seen him play.
Just like players from the 60’s most have never seen them play

Actually Matteo is an idol.

Federer will be far more revered and loved than Djokovic in 50 years son, your delusional

 

[Jokervich]

No kid born now will care about Federer, because they never witnessed him. The same will be true of Djokovic and Nadal. The world moves on - these guys will be nothing more than a footnote for future generations. What they will care about is the players who are playing at the time they are alive, whoever they may be.

 

[DjokoLand]

Nobody will care in 50 years not about Fed, Nadal or Djokovic. If there records are in place is why they will be mentioned

Laver won 11 slams & Emerson won more 1 more than him...but even the current generation is more interested in laver than emerson despite the fact that both of them played roughly during the same time

i cant wait until ppl start thinking zverev & tsitsipas are the greatest of all time lol

If somebody has to explain to you why Laver is more famous than Emerson or Pancho is more famous than Emerson between tennis fans then I have got a bad news for you...

How many slams did pancho win ?? Not more than laver and emerson.

Yeah and that is the point, as Emerson time was armature and pro era split, nobody take Emerson numbers but you can't apply that on modern era.

kids in 50 years will play to replicate federer. They dream of being like roger, just like golf kids would dream of being tiger or basketball kids dream of being jordan or football kids dream of being messi.

unfortunately for these kids these named athletes are genetically gifted freaks, whose style can not and will not be replicated- you won’t see amother Jordan. You won’t see another federer or woods because they are freaks of nature they bend the rules- halt- they don’t bend the rules they make the rules- they are the one-if they were movie characters they would essentially be neo from the matrix because rules don’t apply to them.

now if you consider your goat on different metrics such as-
Oh I dominated a tour when my two main rivals (federer and nadal) were finished and I beat up on a load of kids (exempt zverev/theim/medvedev) when the tour wasn’t particularly strong then maybe Novak is your man.

folks the most compelling thing about Djokovic is how damaged he is trying to chase the glory and love and affection that nadal federer hey it’s actually quite sad.

honourable mention to goat contender nadal- the true krptonite of neo Fed.

Is this all!? Please, cry more, we want more

 

[Hitman]

OK. LOL

Sour Grapes- LOL! How about 2011, 14,15?

 

[Sudacafan]

According to my multiple simulations, estimates and projections, the GOAT debate will end one week after the covid pandemic ends.

 

[Jokervich]

i cant wait until ppl start thinking zverev & tsitsipas are the greatest of all time lol

They won't necessarily think they are the greatest, because the numbers show otherwise. But those players will be their reference point because they are the ones who they watch live. Federer will only be mentioned by people who watched him play at the time.

I have never watched Laver play, and I mention him every time I diss that annual glorified feel good scripted exhibition.

 

[Nadal>>>>>Federer]

The fact you have to make this after novak loses proves you aren't confident in your own theory

 

[thrust]

Laver won 11 slams & Emerson won more 1 more than him...but even the current generation is more interested in laver than emerson despite the fact that both of them played roughly during the same time

-
I discount amateur slams and if one discounts the big pro tour titles, Laver has 5 real slams, Emerson has 0 real slams.

 

[Daniel Andrade]

Hey, I'm the one who started that trend
