Maybe but I just can't take to him. A bit like Tiger Woods I suppose. Their personalities either appeal to you or they don't. Give me Roger Federer and Lefty Mickelson any day of the week.

Athlete? He's good at tennis. There are players that don't make it in the NFL that are better athletes than him.

I doubt it. Man plays for 3 or 4 hours maintaining a ridiculously high level of skill and accuracy.

NFL players are sat on their backside for most of the game.

Anyway I don’t agree with Moz, Lionel Messi or Michael Jordan for me and still prefer to watch Federer play tennis.

at the time of posting i was thinking of all the elite top sports athletes of modern times but tennis is a bit unique as its not a team sport

mental strength and endurance as well as natural ability comes into play here and have now decided he is the best there's no contest

yes we could say messi , ronaldo etc but at 36 years old and his achievements over a long period of time will be seldom done again ,i would have said Ali back in the 70's / 80's

on top of that the WEF mob stopped him competing for a number of years too .imagine how many more major titles he would have won

we will never know of course

Re: 24 and Counting

Incredible fitness levels these tennis players have

But he comes across as a right privileged and entitled git

A lot of them at the top of their game appear to be like that .....him , McEnroe , Murray at times

Or is it that all his opponents are just not good enough at the moment ?

ie:——- nothing out there to beat !

You have to wonder though how many he/Federer/Nadal would have won if the other two hadn’t been around at the same time.

The three highest number of Grand Slam winners all playing in the same era….. :-/

Re: 24 and Counting

He has reached the final of half the grand slam tournaments he's ever entered
Best by a mile

Re: 24 and Counting

Some achievement, 24 majors and countless finals.

Difficult to think of anyone else in a non-team sport who could claim the crown of best athlete.

Not a popular "great" though.

He played with Nadal and Federer FFS, you can't flip that on him the moment they've gone.

What do you mean, Moz? He missed one Australian Open and one US Open because of his covid vaccine situation?

[J R Hartley]

Re: 24 and Counting

Wonder how many Nadal would have won without his injury problems. He has missed 17 of 83 slams because of injury.

Of the 66 he has played he was won 22, the same 1 in 3 strike rate to Djokovic - 24 in 72 played.
