The GOAT debate is one of the biggest debates in the sport of tennis. Many people like Kyrgios have sided with Federer while others have sided with his rivals Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic. However, the GOAT will only be decided by one record – the most Grand Slams.

The Swiss Maestro currently holds this record with 20 but his rivals are getting very close. In fact, Rafa is just 1 slam away from equaling the record which is why Roger will be looking to extend his lead. Sadly, he is not going to be able to do it this year.

Recently, the Swiss announced that he was ending his 2020 season as he underwent a second knee surgery. He hopes to be at 100% when the 2021 season kicks off and hopefully, we will see him winning some Grand Slams like he did in 2017.
