American alpine ski racer Lindsey Vonn has once again landed herself in trouble with her post about the GOAT of tennis. As the 39-year-old Olympic champion shared pictures with Serbian tennis ace Novak Djokovic and hailed the 24-time Grand Slam winner as the GOAT, she faced scrutiny on social media.
Notably, weeks after declaring Swiss tennis maestro Roger Federer as the GOAT, Lindsey Vonn hailed Djokovic as the greatest of all time. The Olympic champion acknowledged the Serb’s achievements and went against her initial claim where she called Federer the GOAT “no matter what the statistics say”.
Vonn, however, emphasized the fact that there can be more than one player who is the “Greatest Of All Time” in a single sport.
