    There is no statistic argument against Novak. Tbf he has even drastically improved his weak point which was the net game which was mediocre at best for 90% of his career. I’ve seen him doing things at the net over the course of the last 2 years I had never seen in his game.

    But personally I still feel that RF is the greatest player I’ve ever seen. That’s all. There isn’t any argument for it. I’m not talking about achievements, but just raw feeling and tennis skills assessment. On one day, at peak level, I’d pick RF over Djokovic any day, especially on decently fast paced courts where he was way tougher to beat.

    I totally admit that this goes against all statistics and logic. I won’t argue RF is the GOAT. But he is my GPOAT.
