Nadal calls Federer the best player ever.

[Jonesy]

What he is saying is that Fed is Goat because of 20 slams but soon Rafa is Goat 21 slams (14 Garros)

The GOAT debate is completely meaningless. It is like boxing in which most fighters are susceptible to certain styles of opponent and in tennis you have the added complication of surfaces and conditions.

There is no such thing as the best tennis player, who would beat every opponent on every surface. That is even before you factor in the impossibility of comparing players from different eras.

All sports are obsessed about talking about who is the goat in their respective sport though. Nothing special for tennis. It’s like a never ending thing. Tv sports journalists even comparing and discussing top athletes from different sports.
