What did Novak Djokovic say about the GOAT debate? 

Novak Djokovic believes that to be declared the best, a player would have to be good on many levels. However, the chief metric would be to win the most number of Grand Slams.

“I think it’s combination of slams, the weeks at number one and obviously the Masters, the 1000 events and the head to head. I think grand slams would probably stand out. But it’s really hard to say, even though I personally and very fortunate that I’m in the conversation, of course, and I’m honored. But, at the same time, it’s hard to really say greatest of all time taking the amount of slams you want or tournaments you want it whatever. Because I’ve said this to everybody, I’ve had this opinion since forever, I really don’t go into the conversation of comparing generations. I really can’t compare.”
