Goat Debate Djoker
He is within striking distance of passing Fed but I suggest we wait. Things happen like injuries, new faces on the scene, and resurgent other players like Fed and Rafa. Still, it is arguable that Novak has what it takes to gain that crown but again who really owns it depends on how you define it. Rod Laver still holds the honors for two calendar year Grand Slams and no one has come close on the men's side to challenge it. Yes, he doesn't have as many total slam event wins but he was also prevented from competing for them for almost a decade in the 60's when he turned professional and was prohibited from playing the then Amateur events that are the slams. Fate cost the Rocket, Rod Laver, many more wins most likely and something no one expects can do the same for Novak.
Why Novak can be called the GOAT - Substance over style
Again, we'll see. All in good time. If you notice the writers mention Laver arena more than they mention Laver himself. It always comes to the mind that whomever is around when you're around, they are he best ever . Current writers tend to forget what it took for Laver to accomplish what he did against competition ever bit as strong as the current crop relative to the game as it was played back then. He did this against Ken Rosewall, Roy Emerson, Fred Stolle, Tony Roche, and and strong and deep source of talent from Australia alone much less worldwide. Laver passed the baton to Federer when it became obvious to him that Fed was a magical talent and his total wins proved it. So maybe this will happen again is someone passes Fed or maybe we should just restart the argument about what we are measuring.
Why Novak can Emulate Rod Laver
It will be impressive if he can do that but can he do it twice.
Young Rivals Expose his weakness - reliance on the backhand
Every player has a relative weakness compared to their strengths. Most players would happily take Novak's forehand compared to their own.
