The GOAT discussion in any sport is unending. Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic are always the ones at the center of the debate in tennis. The three hold most of the records in the sport. Along with fans, current and veteran players also pick their favorites. Stan Wawrinka, the compatriot of Federer and his close friend, surprised everyone when he made his pick at this year’s Wimbledon. 

This is not the first time Wawrinka has snubbed Federer for the position. In an interview during the hard court season, Wawrinka talked about the best player on the ATP Tour. While giving his choice at SW19, he cited the same reason.

He stated, “Right now, you just take Djokovic, and that’s enough. You have the best player right now. I need to think a bit, but of course, if you take those three players and mix a bit together, you have the best-ever player to ever play this game.
