Hello all three,
Many of you return to this debate of the “GOAT” (“Greatest of All Time”, “the best of all time”, in English), which has fueled for some years the most heated debates among enthusiasts of this sport.
It is probably impossible to settle such a debate with certainty, it all depends on the criteria that are taken into account: for some, it is the statistics that speak, and this “title” must go to the player who has the greatest number of Grand Slam trophies – this is, for example, the opinion of Patrick Mouratoglou, the ex-coach of Serena Williams. For others, like Richard Gasquet, it is the style and the aesthetics of the player that take precedence, and, in this regard, some agree that Federer’s style was inimitable. For still others, it is necessary to take into account the legacy and the imprint that the player leaves in the history of the game…
Roger Federer won’t end his career with tennis’ greatest honors (when it comes to Grand Slams), but one thing is certain: his impact and legacy will remain among the greatest in the history of the game, alongside Rod Laver , Björn Borg or even John McEnroe, Andre Agassi and Pete Sampras.
