Novak, in a class of his own

[mahatma]

GOAT debate is futile when you see only 1 metric, i.e. Grand Slams won. It's important, no doubt. But all court adaptability is a different animal. Shows true versatility and when it sustains for over 19 years of career, its a ridiculous stat. Check the magical 54% number here:

For all fans of Nadal and Federer - ofcourse they are great players and have their own claim to GOATness, no denying that. But let's appreciate the class of Djokovic. It's sustained brilliance lasting over a decade now ( apart from 2017). He has been a force, a competitor who is always there to face the other big 2. No matter the court type, conditions, draws, slams or masters. Truly a champion!

Son, stop getting in to childish thing like "GOAT" slams are the holy grail in tennis and objective thing , either you are a slam leader or not.

He's definitely up there with Nadal and Federer.

Believe in GOAT thing and asking others to grow up? My son, it's impossible to ascertain GOAT. Only objective thing can be quantified. Slams are the biggest thing in tennis by far , rest are minor. As of now Nadal has the biggest thing in tennis by far. Only thing we can all agree upon is Nadal have slam record, the biggest thing in tennis and Djokovic has tons of other minor records. Everything else is pure subjective.

He's the most versatile and all round player the game has ever seen. Whether it's grass, hard, clay or indoors, he's been always great.

It would be interesting to see if Alcaraz can match him in the future.

My dear son, Nadal has the slam record. Where did I deny it. Your posts keep getting longer with no real meaning beyond a point.

My son, go watch cricket since you don't understand difference between objective thing and subjective opinion.

Is cricket a sport which is beyond stats, my dear son?

You seem to be knowing a bit or 2 about cricket too.

Isn't it too early for Alcaraz. Grass game has to really come to party for him to sustain such numbers.
