Who is the greatest tennis player of all time?

[steinyn]

Djokovic for me, his numbers and the way he handled the big three era just put him on top tbh

[umbravi]

Djokovic all day. The fact he broke all the records while Nadal and Federer were still at their peak says everything.

[Steinra]

Djokovic has the stats to back it up, but it’s hard to ignore what Federer did for the sport as a whole too.

[dacingsalmon]

djokovic edges it for me ngl his big three runs were next level 🔥

[raxique]

Djokovic has the numbers to settle it, but I always go back to Federer's peak being the most beautiful tennis I've ever watched

[r0bertyy]

people really watch tennis tor the love of the game?

[sylvar6]

Federer's peak was pure art, but if we're talking raw numbers and head-to-head against the other two, it's gotta be Novak.

[frostori]

Djokovic takes it for me, his mental game during those 5-set marathons is just on another level

[luxuriantly9]

Novak's longevity is insane, but tbh I think peak Rafa on clay is the highest level anyone's ever played.

[foodvlogger]

djokovic goat for me ngl those big three runs were unreal

[ace4zbvucxc]

ngl federer's style was pure art on the court, but djokovic's dominance is unreal ?

[ravenon6]

I watched that 2012 Aussie Open final live and it broke my brain, six hours of Novak and Rafa just refusing to miss. That match alone convinced me nobody else touches that kind of grind.

[vexolora26]

These endless GOAT debates always skip over how much faster the balls flew in the Sampras era.

[sophkaon9]

Saw Serna smoke a 207 kmh ace once, unreal power.

[Synrixen]

i dont even watch tenis but i just know someone’s about to write a whole essay in here lol

[pedrofermino]

djokovic is the goat numbers wise but federer bro

[zyxenver059]

I once watched Serena Williams completely overpower Sharapova in a Wimbledon final and it felt like two different weight classes were colliding. It is tricky to pick a single GOAT when the women's and men's games have legends that played in totally different eras.

[emberorax]

Federer mdae it look too easy and people mistake that for weakness.

[ivoryesse]

I always thought it was kind of unfair nobody ever debates the women's side in these threads, as if Serena didn't just dominate her era harder than anyone else dominated theirs.

[Shredorora0]

My dad still rants about that 2008 Wimbledon final like it happened yesterday, says Nadal crawling back after the rain delay changed the sport forever. I kinda get it tho, watching those old highlights gives you chills even if you missed it live.

[wocksa40]

Serena really is the most glaring omission from these debates every single time. I think the fact she managed to come back and win slams after having a kid puts her in a tier that's just impossible to compare against the men's side.

[ryomdm922n]

should be a good one fr

[sandstein6]

Watched Bogr at a small exhibition once, his footwork was unreal.

[wickumyth]

I get why people say Federer but I always felts like his grace overshadowed that Djokovic had to break through two all timers at once, which is argubly the harder road.
