Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer
Amid all the talented stars to dominate tennis, there has long been a discussion surrounding which player is the best to have ever stepped on the court. There will never be a reasonable reaction in tennis as to who the greatest tennis player of all time is. It’s a very similar question like which is the best movie in Hollywood or which rap song is the best. Fans of each claim that their man is better than the other two.

“is it all about the majors? Novak has won most master events. He has a huge 38 titles to Rafa, 36 and Rogers, 28. Rafa is the only one out of the three to win gold in the Olympic singles event. Roger leads at the end of year ATP finals, winning it six times to Novak’s five and Rafa’s, zero. And finally, Roger has won the most ATP titles overall with his 103 career titles to Rafa’s 92 and Novak’s 88. Is the goat race all about the numbers or is it more than that? Who’s your goat?” He asked
