Because you are criticizing my English when you aren´t even a native speaker.
Its okay bro, its already obvious English isn´t your first language.
This is also my fave movie of all time. Curious to know what is it tied with?
"For you it's the one with the highest score, no matter how he obtained that score. "
If this quote above were true, Federer would be my greatest until he is overtaken in slams but I´ve already conceded that what Djokovic has done is already more impressive while still being behind on total slam count. Also,
Previous post: Djokovic has 15 out of 16 slams where he had to beat one of the big 4 on the way to the title. Federer has 9/20. Djokovic has 50% of his slam final wins v Fed or Nadal, Federer has 20%
Do you just avoid reading what I already posted or you don´t understand English very well?
Your analogies are so bad they arent even worth replying to. Novak could surpass Roger in slams and you still wouldn´t admit he is on Roger´s level, says alot about you and your obvious fanboyism.
She was only 37 in season 3, she did look older though, I guess it was the way they dressed her. In the first season, you could tell she wasn´t that old.
Djokovic has 15 out of 16 slams where he had to beat one of the big 4 on the way to the title. Federer has 9/20. Djokovic has 50% of his slam final wins v Fed or Nadal, Federer has 20%. Really you´re going to argue that Djokovic had a weak era? lmao. You say he racked up slams while Rafa was injured what about 2017 when both Fed and Rafa won slams while he was injured or coming back from injury? No complaints there from the fed fanboy...
As for sportstmanship, not just crying v Nadal. The fact, he will ignore his fans when he loses, only signs autographs when he wins. Both Rafa and Novak sign autographs when they lose. In addition, after losing the 2010 USO semi final to Novak, (Novak saved match points), Roger criticized Novak for going for broke on the first return, comparing it to a child going for a wild shot, when he should have played it safe and tried to keep the ball in, rather than go for a winner. Does that sound like good sportsmanship to you? lol
Sportsmanship. Now that is interesting. Out of the big three, Roger at least in his earlier days when he began losing to the other two had the worst attitude out of the three.
Not really sure why you keep bringing up Schumacher. I actually don´t think hes the GOAT of F1, but in any case, its a bad analogy because unlike tennis there are more external factors involved in motor racing, like how good a driver´s car is, politics of teams and drivers etc.
I already gave reasons why I don´t think Federer is the definitive GOAT, namely because of the weak 03-07 era. Why would I give Zverev a pass if he won 25 slams in 10 years against no competition? Djokovic didnt win 16 slams in a weak era, so why are you even bringing up this bad Zverev hypothetical?
Novak went 4-0 v Roger in 2011, Roger was still 29-30 years old, I don´t think Roger was out of his prime at that point, only made to look worse by Novak. Indeed Federer only lost to Novak at USO after Novak managed to save match points. Novak also beat Roger in his prime at AO 2008 in straight sets.
I agree, Im happy to watch them all play at the same time, it has been a gift watching the last 10 years of slams, Djokovic isn´t even my favourite player but I do think its ridiculous when people say hes not on Rafa or Roger´s level.
Saw it an Australian drive-in theatre in early 1991. Sadly most drive-ins don´t exist anymore.
Bender was the most genuine out of all the characters. In a way, he was putting up a facade but he just wanted to be like everyone else but circumstances wouldn´t permit him to.
Mission Impossible wasn´t a film franchise it was a tv show and it had hardly the following, nor the history that James Bond did. I could have got behind Will Smith as Ethan Hunt in 1996, but I wouldn´t get behind changing almost 60 years of film history for the sake of political correctness.
Yeah, those white males just sitting around at home in their basements playing their video games, all day. Its not like white males actually contribute to almost every profession in western society. oh wait...
Also, not sure why the obesity jabs are aimed at white males when blacks and females have higher obesity rates in NA.
@ ebhaynz. That´s some cool anecdotal evidence and amazing sample size to base your opinion on.
He won´t be the GOAT in your eyes only, to everyone else he will be. The only "better" players than him are from different generations, that you can´t really compare because he has never played them. He has dominated the two other greatest players of his generation, Federer and Nadal in most of the big matches, that speaks volumes to where he stands. One of them, you claim is the untouchable GOAT even though Novak has proven himself superior statistically in every category, except for passing your "eye test".
The fact, you won´t even consider Novak the GOAT if he passes Rogers slam record, just shows what a biased little fan boy you are. You know someone has a poor argument when they fall back on the "because I like the way he plays" logic. lol
It is a 30 year old movie after all.
"1- the numbers are ALL in favor of one man. He still holds I don't know how many records, that Nole doesn't and probably will not ever break (including number of slams)."
Lol. Djokovic is on track to break them all, He won 3 of the last 4 slams. He only needs 4 more to tie Roger and is 6 years younger. Only a blind Federer fanboy would say this record probably wont be broken. Not to mention, weeks at number one, Novak only needs another year at no.1, hes already pretty much guaranteed to be number one for the next 3 months.
2. Im here because its laughable to say one is the GOAT(Roger) and the other is not close to being the GOAT, even though he is a hot favourite to surpass every record and has a winning record over Roger, despite how desperately you don´t want that to happen. Being 6 years younger and only 4 slams behind, he is close and more than likely will stand on his own with just about every record in the book.
Lol at Laver´s numbers not being that good. His numbers are good and the only reason they are not on the big 3 level is because he turned professional and missed 20 grand slams because the rules didnt allow professionals to play majors, and yet still managed to win the calendar year grand slam twice. As for Borg, he retired at 25, his numbers would be insane if he played on till 38, thats why they are still highly respected amongst people that actually know tennis...
You aren´t even attempting to rebut my arguments, probably because you can´t. You tried to imply Sampras and Agassi made Federer´s era tougher, when he didn´t even face them as major rivals, which is why your point is irrelevant. As I said, in any case, the trio of Fed, Nadal and Djokovic are already better than Sampras and Agassi which by default makes the current era, tougher. I take my hat off to Roger for being able to compete in the current era at his age, but considering most of his slams were in the 03-07 era, his achievements really pale in comparison to what Novak has been able to do. I don´t like coming off like I am undermining Roger´s career, he is an all time great no doubt, but what Novak has done is more impressive and when people say Roger is GOAT and its not close, its downright laughable, when Novak is about a year away from breaking all his records.
No, I already gave a bunch of reasons why Novak is statistically better and is on track to pass every Federer record, I didnt just base my opinion on one match. Quality of tennis doesn´t matter. If you win "ugly" but you win regardless, you are the better player. Its fine if you prefer Federer´s style of play fine but in a GOAT debate, style of play has nothing to do with how good someone is. Tennis comes down to who wins the most important points. Pretty sure no-one even comes close to Novak in terms of clutchness, that´s why he is as great as he is against the very best players. 50% of his slam victories have come against either Fed or Nadal, while Fed has only something like 4 slam final wins against Nadal or Djokovic and three of them were before either of them had won a slam or a slam outside of clay.
"Novak had better opponents than Hewitt and Roddick but never face Sampras or Agassi." What difference does it make? Fed only played one match against Sampras which didn´t determine any major. And Agassi was about to retire and only had one slam final v Fed. Nadal, Djokovic and Fed are light years ahead of Agassi and Sampras and Djokovic pretty much had to beat at least one or both to win almost every one of his majors. So bringing up Agassi and Sampras is irrelevant, because Federer didn´t really face them either.
You are basing your argument on who looks better on the court. That´s not how you determine the greatness of an athlete. Usain Bolt has one of the ugliest techniques in track and no-one disputes he is the GOAT because of his numbers.
Lol at "not close". He´s 6 years younger and only 4 slams behind. He already has more year end No.1s. Only player to win all 9 masters 1000s. Only needs one more year to pass Federer´s weeks at number one. Winning record over Roger. You´re basing your opinion on the grand sample size of one match which FED STILL LOST! Federer racked up 12 slams before Novak one his first in the weak 03-07 era where his biggest rival was Hewitt, and clay-court Nadal while Novak has had to deal with Murray and Stan, both better than Hewitt aswell as all-court prime Nadal and Federer himself. Making Novak´s achievements much more impressive. Fed is great and his longevity is absurd, but Novak is going to surpass his slam haul and will be the definitive, unquestionable GOAT.
