The mark imprinted by Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic is unmatched in the sports arena. The evidence of the same was provided when a recent clip of the two players went viral where Federer played a fantastic point. The culmination led to a great achievement for the Swiss Maestro and a sad day for the Djoker. As fans became aware of the moment, many rushed in to claim Federer as the GOAT of tennis.

2011 was a year Djokovic will remember forever. He showed he was no different from Rafael Nadal and Federer. He had a 41-match winning streak, which also saw him claim the Australian Open, the Sunshine Doubles, the Madrid Open, and the Italian Open. The star professional was even on his way to a French Open final before Roger Federer ended his streak in the semifinal.

A clip from their clash in 2011, Roland Garros, shows the skills Federer displayed to end Djokovic’s dominance. The point also made many say that he had always been better than the Serbinator and opened the gates of the “GOAT debate” once more.

Recency bias, having a strong presence in tennis, was the reason a fan was upset about Djokovic being a GOAT debate. They further believed the version of Federer shown in the clip could beat anyone.

Another fan was elated at the celebration of Federer, further noticing that Federer in the clip was already beyond his prime.

A fan of the Swiss Maestro declared him the GOAT after watching the clip and added to the brewing debate.

One user claimed that Federer will always be the greatest for them, followed by Djokovic, but not Rafael Nadal.

The debate was further supported by another fan who claimed that he [Roger Federer] will always the best player in history.

While tennis followers have shared their thoughts about Federer being the GOAT, Federer’s compatriot snubbed him to pick the Djoker as the GOAT of tennis.

In terms of pure results and victories, Wawrinka believes Djokovic is ahead of the other two ‘Big 3’ players. 

He said, “Djokovic is ahead of everyone else in all statistics.” While he chose Djokovic over Nadal and Federer, he still respected the achievements of all three. “They marked the history of tennis in a different way, the three.”
