Greatest tennis player of all time? Roger, Rafa, Novak or Serena?
And I think if that speed starts to reduce as it usually does when you get older, I think the tournaments might start coming down. As a side note, I do think that you have to think of him as the greatest clay player of all time. I mean, with those French title wins, he just absolutely dominates on clay. Now, Federer is probably my favorite player to watch. He's so graceful on the court beautiful backhand
Oh, this is no contest in my head. Federer, of course he was. He is the goat. And the way I look at it is Nadal. Of course, uncle. I think nobody comes even close to him. And I love Joko Kefir. Is he's phenomenal? But when they were all at their peak, when all of them were young, Federal's dominance was complete. And as you said, his style of play. But I wonderful

Well, like everyone, I love to watch Feather a lot, but when you want to compare who is the best of all time, I think while Federal was the best, Nadal always got the better result against him directly. So I would say Federal is the best, but not all is better. And I leave it up to you to decide who is better, best or better

So I just find that really curious because I think a lot of us thought after knee surgery, Federer would not come back to be the player that he was. And when he did, I think it surprised us. But it didn't surprise us. And I think that was really something that I still Marvel at. But I just found it very curious that he has kind of come back in the all time record against Nadal here. But you raise a good point

You guys can argue about who is better, whether it was Nadal or Federer. But there is no doubt about the fact that one of the greatest sports rivals in the world occurred at tennis matches when Connors played Mcintro, probably the greatest rivalry or one of the greatest rivalries in all sport. And from a spectator point of view, some of the most fun sports were watching these two guys go heading it to head

I just want to point out one observation that this generation seems like there is a lack of the top level coming out lately in the men's. If you observe in the women already, a player of born post 2000 has won a Grand Slam, and in men no. 19:01, 90 has yet won any Grand Slam. Everyone has been born prior to 1990s, so a big change is about to happen as all the biggest three start to retire and the new crop comes up

Nice topic. Just comparing the number of Grand Slams. I think Serena has won the most number of titles. I think, of course, you cannot compare the men that you have listed here. The Legends great Federal fan myself. You cannot compare a man's trends to a woman. She cannot beat any of these three here, not really getting into her on court. Theatrics But I think she's one of the legendary players of all times. Th

I always say there's always some intangible, too of, hey, this person just made you say, wow, at least three times when they played. And for me, that's Federer, Federer does something that I've never seen before or never seen anybody do just about every match that he plays. Nadal does that as well. And then I wanted to go back to the injury thing

And I really hope I know there's been talk about reducing time of matches and even moving some of the majors to three sets instead of five. And I think that'd be a huge mistake. I think that's what makes majors so difficult. And what makes these three so great is that they've been able to do that over a long period of time. And that's where I really kind of struggle with, hey, I don't want the game without these three

And in my mind, the greatest the fact that he is really somebody that represents that sports bar tennis in a way that makes makes it appealable. Is that a word to everybody? So anyway, check on appealable. Let me know if you like it. And so here's my take on it. Take care. Bye

Well, I agree with all the points made here. There is one thing that I disagree with Phil, and that's your title you left out. Martina Navratilova. Oh, come on, as goat. She definitely has a strong standing in the women's game and has to be in consideration. And that's one game I would have loved to see if I could normalize time. Martina and her peak and Serena and her peak
