Over the years, Roger Federer has been the face of men’s tennis. The ace tennis star retired after his laver cup doubles match alongside Rafael Nadal. When Federer retired, he has 2o Grand Slam titles to his name. He sits third behind Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal with 22 titles each.

With the other two still active and Djokovic particularly in red hot form, it seems highly likely that the Serb will soon claim the top spot. However, many tennis pundits still believe that even though the records suggest something else, Federer is the greatest of all time. A similar thought resonated in the telegraph sports Twitter post. Here’s what happened next.

Fans react as Roger Federer gets the GOAT title

However, the majority of tennis fans are still fighting among themselves about the ultimate GOAT of tennis. With big three, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic neck to neck in competition, it is hard to determine. Here’s how fans reacted to the post.

On the other hand, Nadal and Djokovic have a great rivalry between themselves and with Federer. If we look at the overall record and current form, Djokovic seems poised to take the crown. However, can the Grand Slam titles count be the only parameter to judge them? It’s again a debatable question. However, Grand Slam does have a value of its own as it comprises the top tennis players in the world.
