“There are two GOAT arguments, right? One based on statistics and one based on feelings,” he said.

“With Novak [Djokovic]if you put their numbers next to each other, Slam totals, head-to-head record against most people in the world. He has a positive head-to-head record against his two biggest rivals, has won the most Masters 1000s and is adding weeks to the all-time number one list. It’s actually hard to make a statistical argument against Novak having the best resume of all time right now.

“Then the conversation, eventually, when someone counters that, turns to style. I like this person, and this person behaves a certain way.”

Djokovic is widely considered one of the greatest tennis players of all time.
