I thought of you as an ultimate NBA and NFL guy for some reason, I wouldn’t have thought that you’re also a tennis fan.
We can look at the numbers and statistics, but to be honest, at this age of time, that won’t do much justice for the Big 3. Now, the picture is somewhat changed anyway. The Mental Giant, named Djokovic, beats the hell out of everybody. Federer is too old, and Nadal is never going to be the same as once he was.
The GOAT title goes to Fed because of his persistence and motivation towards the game. After winning everything that’s possible, he still finds inspiration and motivation to keep going, perform at the highest level he can.
Have you seen the last Australian Open? I mean what he has done it was close to a miracle. Even he said that he should’ve lost twice in 2 matches, but he never lost faith completely. He doesn’t play tennis, he creates art on the court.
Djokovic will beat him in Grand Slams I think, but that doesn’t mean Fed will lose the GOAT title. Just like no one ever will be as great as Michael Jordan was in the NBA. Simple as that.
Thanks for sharing, Lon! Feel free to contact me whenever you write about grand slams or tennis giants. I’m always down for a read and a discussion.
Have a good one!
