Wilander: Djokovic's best is better than Nadals and Federers

[chjtennis]

Wilander tends to say things in the heat of the moment. Next time Federer or Nadal wins a slam, he will talk them up like "Federer is the undisputaed GOAT", or "Nadal's best is probably better than Djokovic's".

Let everyone argue over grandpa Federer, post prime 29 year old Federer, old Federer, etc. while I enjoy prime Djokovic at 31 years old winning back to back Slams and Cincinnati in between. He's the first guy over 30 to win Wimbledon/USO back to back since Laver 1969. Everyone is so obsessed with thinking age means you can't play top level anymore. That's the most failed logic of all really.

No1e is after Laver and Rosewall the third tennis player in the open era, who won two GS tournaments in a row in the 30s age. And if he adds the AO 2019 to the series, his veteran series will be longer than Rosewall's line (Ken won USO 1970 and AO 1971 aged 35-36).
