Despite Djokovic’s remarks, Stefanos Tsitsipas asserts that “no one will ever match Roger Federer.”
The most recent player to weigh in on the contentious GOAT argument between Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic is Stefanos Tsitsipas.
Despite saying Novak Djokovic is the greatest of all time, Stefanos Tsitsipas has praised Roger Federer. At the 2016 US Open, the Serb became the first player in Open Era history to win a 24th Grand Slam title, solidifying his position as the all-time greatest in terms of records.
But even if Djokovic had overtaken Federer, Tsitsipas maintained that Federer’s influence on tennis remained unparalleled.
Men’s tennis has been dominated by the “GOAT” argument for years due to the fact that Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, and Roger Federer have all broken multiple records at different stages of their careers.
The benchmarks for greatness have frequently been shifted, with many enthusiasts designating their favorite object based on disparate standards.
With his 24th Major victory, Djokovic has put a stop to the argument made by those who still maintain that numbers don’t matter.
In addition to the Open Era record, he owns the most weeks at No. 1 in the world record book and a slew of other accolades, such as the most Masters 1000s in ATP history.
However, other people—including Tsitsipas—continue to believe that Federer is superior in terms of another facet of the argument, namely his effect and influence on the game.
When asked who had influenced more people, the world No. 5 responded, “Then it’s Federer, by a landslide,” per ekathimerini.com.
“His enchantment on the court, his grace and beauty in tennis.” Nobody else will ever be able to match him, in my opinion. It follows Tsitsipas’s assertion that Djokovic was the greatest in terms of records.
“By numbers, he is without a doubt the best,” the Greek celebrity continued. He breaks record after record. Despite the fact that he no longer has anything to prove, he still has the thirst.
Not only has Tsitsipas added to the GOAT discussion recently, but Nadal also gave in to Djokovic after his opponent’s victory in New York.
The 22-time Major winner told AS, “I think there is nothing to argue in that—Djokovic is the best in history in terms of titles.” In the Grand Slam match, Djokovic overcame Federer and Rafael Nadal after coming from behind.
