The debate on who is the greatest of all time (GOAT) in tennis continues to rage on. While it is undeniable that Roger Federer is one of the all-time greats, it would be unfair to compare players based on their achievements. The Nole will most likely claim the top spot in terms of records.

It featured pictures of the greatest male athletes from various sports, including Federer, Tiger Woods, Lionel Messi, and Lewis Hamilton.
