If Novak Djokovic ties Federer and Nadal in Grand Slams, he is the GOAT

Once he equalizes with Federer and Nadal, I think at that point it's like, yeah, Djokovic is GOAT. And head-to-head he's dominated both of them, right?

Djokovic eventually surpassed both (reaching 24 titles) and is now widely considered the GOAT by statistical standards.

Novak Djokovic is the tennis GOAT

Novak Djokovic... He's the fucking goat. Suck on this dick, Jake. I am the number one Novak Djokovic fan out there. He wins his 18th title. 18th major... He's the fucking goat.

As of 2024, Djokovic holds the record for most Grand Slam titles (24), strengthening the statistical argument for him being the GOAT.

Tennis players should get a point for hitting a line judge

I think they should just make a new sport where the lines are always live and if you hit a line judge, you get an extra point. ... A dodgeball tennis hybrid. ... I'm saying you should get a point added on.

This is a satirical suggestion for a rule change that obviously never happened.

Locking a tennis player in a ball closet for hours is great coaching

[David Ferrer's coach] locked him in a completely dark two meter by two meter ball closet for several hours, giving him only a piece of bread and a bit of water... That's great coaching. That's a football guy in a tennis guy's body.

The effectiveness of such 'coaching' is highly debatable and culturally specific, making it a subjective opinion.

Roger Federer should be investigated for PED use because he's been too good for too long

I'm thinking about doing a witch hunt with Federer. Has anybody ever looked into PEDs with him? Because it feels like he's been too good for too long... Roger Federer probably did PEDs.

There has never been a confirmed PED link to Roger Federer.

Serena Williams is the 'GOAT' and will win another Grand Slam

And then on the other side, Serena. We know she did PEDs. She got a fetus... Serena is yeah, gonna win again so she's the goat. Everyone says best athlete of all time.

Serena Williams reached four more Grand Slam finals after this (Wimbledon 2018/19, US Open 2018/19) but never won another title, retiring with 23.

Roger Federer is the undisputed GOAT of tennis

Roger Federer, now the GOAT. His 20th [Major].

While Federer was the GOAT then, Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal eventually surpassed his Grand Slam total.

Roger Federer will beat Rafael Nadal at the US Open

I'm going to go Federer.

Federer lost in the quarterfinals to Juan Martín del Potro, so the matchup with Nadal never happened. Nadal went on to win the tournament.

Roger Federer is the GOAT and the classiest athlete of all time

He's the GOAT, but he's also the classiest. So a lot of class getting thrown around when we talk about Federer. The gentleman. Just the smoothness with which he plays. That is a guy that you want to be dating your daughter.

The 'GOAT' status is subjective, though Federer was widely considered so at the time.

Serena Williams can't be the G.O.A.T. athlete if she won't play Wimbledon while 9 months pregnant

I am upset, though, that Serena's not playing because she's pregnant. So I guess she can play when she's just like three months pregnant, but she can't play when she's nine? Fully pregnant... I can think of 700 male tennis players that would be fine playing when their wives were pregnant.

Purely satirical take based on absurd logic.
