You are right but considering that he is older and the younger ones can meet up

I said "i" not we ok?

But nonetheless let me indulge you
1. On the grounds that he has beaten the other 2 contender in more than they beaten him I.e better head to head.
2. On his peak he is almost impossible to beat it's often described as playing tennis against a wall
3. He thrives on all surfaces compared to the other contenders who has favourites (Nadal clay and Fed grass).

Bonus point he has won all the 1000 masters series event 9 out of 9 Nadal and Fed are stuck on 7/9


Lastly and obviously he's my fav so it's possible I'll be bias but that's normal isn't it?

Nadal is still Master of Clay....other surfaces, nothing for him.

CeeKay17:

Djokovic's favourite surface is Hard court. Federer is equally good on clay just that he had to face Nadal there so many times

Ovie56:
That's your opinion there's no official criteria for determining the best ever

Venerable612:


It’s not an opinion. A simple google search Will advise.

Fed is the GOAT tennis player. If Novak doesn’t have injuries and keep his game up for the next 3 to 5 years... he may well surpass Federer’s feats.

Novak is a fine player too btw.

A simple Google search will show me different people's opinion but it's still their opinion there is no official yardstick for awarding the best ever it depends on how you want to argue your case for example Fed always choke against Nadal only 3 slams separating them Nadal has more 1000 master series Title Nadal has an Olympic gold medal Fed doesn't even have bronze and you'll sit there be telling one is the greatest

RogerFederer1:


Roger is the greatest

Venerable612:


It’s a public opinion, held largely by Tennis analysts world over - and, yes, Federer has the highest grand slams... of all time.

What other statistics do you want?

In the open era he held the number 1 spot for 310 weeks...
From 2004 to 2008, Federer went 237 consecutive weeks being ranked number one in the world, a record that may never be surpassed.

Yu can come back to argue when Nadal and Djokovic wins up to 20 grand slams. For now - please sit with ur opinion.

lordempire:
Is Djokovic going to be greater than Roger Federer?
Like for Djokovic, Share for Roger Federer!

Ovie56:
It'll look that way since there are more hard court event than the other two combined but I still stand on my point he thrives on all surface 4 slam on grass and he was able to dethrone Nadal in Monte Carlo something fed wasn't able to do, you think it's conicidence that Federer now skip the whole clay season?
