He summed it up perfectly. My favorite player ever is Federer but I have no problem recognizing Djokovic as the GOAT. But for other people it is too much to cope with. Denial.

I’m waiting what Whitney has to say.

Considering the fact that Novak is not even at his 100% anymore (compared to his 2015 and 2011 seasons), and missed most of the 2022 season but still managed to return to the tour in 2023 to create a Hall of Fame career year, in the year of New Gen tells everything to JCF. Denying the fact he’s now the greatest (or best) in history is not even an option for players, coaches and commentators anymore.
