Fed did it, Rafa did it, Djoker didn't

[Lleytonstation]

Fed beat Sampras and Agassi at slams. Two ATG's. Rafa beat Agassi. Djoker? Zero wins against those greats. Ouch.

Fed shook Sinatra's hand.

 

[mike danny]

Very troubling as a Djokovic fan.

 

[Red Rick]

Djoko did collect a loss to 2005 Safin, which is about as great an honor as can be

Djokovic collected an even more memorable loss to Safin in 2008 at Wimbledon.

 

[ttwreader]

Too bad for Novak.

 

[Zoolander]

Fed has zero wins against Laver, an ATG. So has Rafa and Nole.

Rosewell beat Laver an amazing 63 times. That makes him MEGAGOAT material. He would thus turn todays big 3 into pulp.

Ouch.

Ken Rosewall is, in fact, the GOAT. 23 Majors. Perfect hairstyle. Classy attire. A real man. Uncontroversial.

Yes, But still not as bad as Djoker.

Poor Novak.

Agree. Laver with a Pancho beats Rosewall every time.

Shook Sinatra's hand.

Good win. Fred also had some interesting losses in 01-03 lelel.

Kenny was the original Nadal. Had no era and spent most of the time being ranked #2 behind Laver and that club tennis player.

Basically a rec player.

Laver and Pancho > Kenny

Laver is debatable. I still have Ken over Rod due to a superior number of Majors, but I understand pro-Laver claims based on the Grand Slam achieved both in 1962 and 1969, plus the leading H2H.

Now, I don't see any compelling argument pro-Gonzales. Gonzales only won 14 Majors, 9 less than Rosewall. Additionally, it is also relevant to mention Gonzales' inability to win Majors on clay. Rosewall won Majors in all the surfaces he played in, unlike Gonzales with 0 Majors on clay. In sum. Rosewall was more succesful, dominant and complete than Gonzales.

Fed shook Sinatra's hand.

He compensated by beating Federer 11 times in slams, including going 3-0 in Wimb finals

 

[Tennease]

They all never win against me so I'm the GOAT.

Not the same. Fed has beat Djoker in slams.

3-1 in Wimbledon overall. Why don't you mention the Wimbledon 2012 semifinal?

And 2008 Safin. Without winning a single set. Now that must keep him up at night!

Has he ever played against Sampras and Agassi? Wasn't Sampras retired in 2005 when Djokovic played his first matches?

Ouch.

Pretty sure there's a lot of overlap between the Safin and Djokovic fanbases anyway, so no hard feelings for that

 

[Lleytonstation]

2002

So you are saying Fed is older and from a different era? This would be true.

 

[Deleted member 771911]

Yes, it's interesting as I read here a lot lately that Federer did not have to usurp any ATGS. But isn't Agassi an ATG? A good one, too, with his Golden Career slam.

Kenny was the original Nadal.

It is a compliment to compare Rosewall to Nadal. Rosewall won the most Majors in his era, I wish Nadal could replicate his success. The only difference is that Rosewall had a losing H2H against Laver, while Nadal has a winning H2H over Federer and Djokovic in Slams. Thus, Nadal can become an improved version of Rosewall.

Djoko did collect a loss to 2005 Safin, which is about as great an honor as can be

Funny thing:
Djokovic eliminating Safin in 1R 2005 AO would result in Federer win of this tournament.
Safin was the only player able to defeat Federer at 2005 AO and he did it in the SF.

 

[Lleytonstation]

Pathetic

Embarrassing for sure.

 

[clout]

What a shame, 15 year old Djoker would've taught ol' PETE a lesson at NYC

 

[JustMy2Cents]

Alex Corretja has a winning head to head against both Rafa and Fed!
Corretja GOAT!

I'm sure Djokovic will have sleepless nights

 

[Backspin1183]

That's so wrong. Djokovic was to hit a cross court backhand. He just doesn't play the good tennis, does he?

 

[Backspin1183]

One of the reasons many casual fans mistake Nadal to be more of Fed's generation than Djokovic's. Because he was such an early bloomer.

Hangs with the GOAT as well.
