    Novak has been the best player ever for a few years now. He's gonna hit 21 while holding all 4 titles at the same time. What's that called, a golden slam?

    And he's going to do it all in New York where the crowd hates him LOL.

    Yeah mine too but he needs the grand slam record to eliminate any doubt. I think he’s the greatest because he’s been doing it in the heart of this era. Fed was great but he won a lot of majors before Rafa/Djoker came about, and even Murray when he’s one among the best with these guys.

    Djokovic is the greatest of all time because he's the most versatile of all the big three. He can win a slam on any surface. Fed is done. Nadal maybe has one more slam left in him. Djokovic will end up with about 25 slam titles before all said and done. Greatest of all time period.

    Starting to look more and more like Djoker could be the Grand Slam king at the end of the day. Never thought anyone would ever top Fed at one point but at the end of the day two guys may pass him.
    And at least 2 grand slams on each surface i believe

    It’s funny I’ve been watching tennis pretty much every match for decade or so. I have a job that allows me to see pretty much every Match. I didn’t like Novak for longest time. But that mofo works his ass off and now I’m a big fan.

    Murray was ok but lost too many big matches


    He couldn’t win a mage without Lendl as his coach, and he just didn’t have it

    ‘The Big Four’ was just something the British media coined to make Murray relevant and a few people for a while used it until both Nadal and Novak ran away with slams and left Murray in his dust.

    But it was never something that took off or lasted even when it was supposedly a thing.

    As for the current match itself I do partly wonder whether the occasion of getting to 21 was on Nadal’s mind as he was substantially less then close to his best but still at a high level. There was a time in the third where the UE count was at 22-22 or something similar and then when it was the tiebreak Nadal's UE error count crept up to 32 while Djokovic’s remained the same.
    Or maybe age has slightly caught up to him where the slightly younger Novak had the advantage of being on a bit of a roll with his match wins in Belgrade then coming back against Musetti whilst Nadal was never really troubled.

    Anyway as for the GOAT discussion which is more relevant once their careers are done I’ve always thought I don’t want to anoint Novak the GOAT until he has at least 20 or more but I think beating Nadal today in that fashion is the tiny missing piece of the puzzle (even though he’s beaten him here before) where it’s hard for the fans and the media to seperate the three and have them all on the same pedestal together.

    If he wins on sunday he's undisputed GOAT.

    2x career Grand Slam
    2x Golden Masters (All Master tournaments won twice) - Nobody else has won them once
    Most weeks as No.1
    Positive h2h against both Federer and Nadal
    Beat Rafa twice in his home

    Kinda the way I feel about Tiger-Jack. Always feel like Tiger’s the GOAT even if Jack has more majors. To put any questions to bed he has to get more majors to eliminate the debate.

    Djoker needs to pass both just to eliminate any doubt he’s the GOAT…and I think he will. He’s the GOAT in my mind, but to prove it to more people, he’s gotta pass Roger and Rafa.
