Kyrgios = Harden

Djokovic = Jordan
Federer = Lebron
Nadal = Russell
Kyrgios = Harden

If Lebron is the goat, then you're right.

Otherwise, you're terribly wrong.

[Meticode]

Serena = Westbrook

If Lebron is the goat, then you're right.

Otherwise, you're terribly wrong.

Nah, Djokovic 26-22 over Federer all-time and 10-6 in grand slams, with three of those being Wimbledon finals, which is Federer's best surface.

Djokovic also has a winning record over Nadal. Federer has a losing record against both, so how could he be the GOAT?

Head to head is a better measure of goat, when the players in question have played enough times and they all have a boat load of grand slams.

[Celtics 1825]

Wawrinka = Kawhi (Shows up once in a while to slay the giants (Nadal and Djokovic being equivalent to the Heat and Warriors)

[Marchesk]

Halep = Dirk

Has that once in a lifetime run with the major upset in the finals that solidifies their place in history.

Historically speaking I'd say the best representation of Dirk is Goran Ivanisevic as he didn't was a consistently solid player for most of his career but wasn't able to win until he finally had his dream run towards the end of his career (he won his first and only grand slam in 2001 at almost 30 years old)

Magic/Bird = Sampras/Agassi
Kareem = Borg

Federer = MJ
Djokovic = Lebron
Nadal = Curry

[Marchesk]

Djokovic = Lebron

Djovic doesn't crumble under pressure. He's the mental equivalent of Jordan or Bill Russell.

Federer was winning slams while Djokovic was a junior, and was at his physical peak around 2006. It's in bad faith to compare them head-to-head.

But he didn't have a slam stolen by a shitty line judge who gave his opponent a shitload of points calling balls out that were actually in.

Serena- Lebron

LOL, they've been playing each other for the past decade. And did you even watch the match today? Federer held up just fine over 4.5 hours and could have won the match. He's in fantastic physical shape.

Also, physical prime doesn't necessarily equate to best version of a player. Older players are more experienced. Notice how hard it is for the newer generation to knock off the three even though all of them are in their 30s. Nadal can still take out the second best clay court player, who is 25 and a powerful hitter in 4 sets in the French Open final. And he can take down a 24 year old Kyrigos on grass.

[Manny98]

Murray = Bird

Both all time greats that had their career cut short due to injury

[bigkingsfan]

Michael Chang = Lin

Both one title
