Federer didn’t really decline until 2016; until then he was always very consistent in making deep runs at grand slams and mostly lost to other GS champions. It was much harder for Federer to win slams after 30 than it has been for Djokovic because 2011-15 provided the highest level of competition men’s tennis has ever seen. I’m putting Federer above Nadal because he has been far more consistent; Nadal has lost to lesser players (players who have achieved much much less in their careers) much more frequently, even when he was in his prime. From 2003-2016, Federer had only one very bad season (2013) when he only made it to one grand slam SF and crashed after that. Nadal has had quite a few: 2009, 2012 (second half), 2014 (second half), 2015-16. And for Novak it’s even better: from 2011-now he has had only 1 and a half very bad seasons (2017-18).

When the courts were fast like they were then, nobody could beat him. Once the courts slowed down it favored more defensive players like nadal and djokovic. That is why you see most of federers majors were during that 2003-2009 stretch.

The sport of tennis has evolved into an international sport, thanks to the rivalry of the Big Three, and it is rooted in a long historical tradition that has yet to be identified with the Byzantine Empire where the royalty played the game in the first grass tennis court some 10 centuries or so ago. That said, the sport spread to other European and Russian courts, eventually the British Isles. It never reached such popularity as we have today for reasons that can be explained. In the beginning the sport was looked at as entertainment for the rich and powerful, exclusively for the benefit of the Court. There is a Byzantine title 'Kyr' also given to those who master a profession, vocation, etc. To put everything in perspective, Novak Djokovic deserves to be anoited Kyr Novak.

The problem of Djokovic is that he is the best according to statistics, but if you look carefully you will see that Djokovic won just one slam when Federer was at the top from early 2000s till 2011 when Federer was 30 years old. From 2011 till 2014 Djokovic won other 6 Grand Slams but at that time Nadal had 14 Grand Slams and Federer 17, Djokovic had just 7. It's only when Federer was aging and Nadal started having injuries that Djokovic started winning. Therefore, from 2015 till now Federer wom 3 Grand Slams, Nadal 8 and Djokovic 16, mostly against weaker opponents such as Tsitsipas, Berrettini, Ruud and others. Furthermore some of his behaviour are childish such as breaking the racket. Djokovic is one of the best tennis players in history, but in my opinion Federer and Nadal are the best.

king about surfaces really makes sense. Rafa on clay as the Spanish love the clay court. Federer on grass and Novak on hard.

Djokovic don't be diplomatic. I would say, if we say on teh half clay-half grass match, Nadal is definitely the winner. But Federer and Nadal, learnt the game on clay, you learnt on hard courts, I think surfaces don't matter, otherwise then we should also consider heat, humidity, balls, rackets into the mix since these all effect the game. If we look at averages, Borg won 11 in 6 years. Conors won on all three surfaces, US Open was clay or grass in some of his time. Laver completed the GS twice. Edberg has the junior GS. etc etc. Agassi competing at the finals against the best from two eras. The players, if required to overcome weather, balls, health, psychological issues, then lets not really worry about the court surface. Nadal considered a clay court specialist, has won 4 on the fastest surface against prime hard court players, you and Daniil. he has won the French Open more bacause of his resilience, its the hardest to play on that surface. Not really because of speed, he is like a bull who doesn't understand when to give up. Main point is, all three of you are the gretaest, because of your perseverance and consistency and giving it all , mental state and game, and using your talents for the better.. Titles I would say are just a small part, mostly since everyone wants a winner. I would put in Murray and Wawrinka for their talent as well.

@@nixxor7 everyone struggles against him on all surfaces. Clay court is definitely harder, since your stepping and footwork is vital plus you need very resilient legs. Federer and Djokovic have that, Nadal beat Federer 3 times in the RG final.

Roger , then daylight . a true artist with a raquet . Everybody's obsessed with Majors , but Federer had every shot in the book plus more , the best serve and the most sublime one handed backhand , unlike the the ugly twohander of most others . That being said , I hope Novak gets to 25 and beyond , and leaves Nadal in the clay dust .

@pashapasovski5860 in your dream.. Federer is definitely the master and smoothest,elegant and stylish tennis player of all time. After Federer, I would definitely choose Nadale or Sampras.. it's not about how many trophies you won, it's about how beautiful your game is. In the same way, LeBron can never compare to Jordan even if he has played longer and won more points than Jordan.

@HMKHABIB1 Actually Because Jordan has the more trophies than LBJ he Is GOAT ,you obviously don't know nothing about the discussion between the fans and the reason why Jordan is the GOAT and Djokovic is the GOAT of retrospective sports! Only one matrix counts and that's championship rings or whatever! On tennis is much easier to determine the GOAT, most victories in masters and Slams, mathematics doesn't lie ,so by a Rolex if you love the advertising so much! Hahaha, imagine a watch company changed its advertising because their representative isn't the GOAT!

It is always amusing to see how Novak haters claim that Djokovic won most of his GS in a weak era , but do not explain how come only Djokovic was able to " take advantage" of " injured Nadal " in SEVEN(7) consecutive finals starting with the 2011 clay season and ending with the epic 5hrs.53min.2012 AO final, or how he took advantage of " old FEDERER" by beating him in 3 Wimbledon finals, even though Roger had two match points on his serve.

I think Roger is the goat of them all, bcoz being a goat not just numbers you win, also the influence you able to spread, how many outsider you can bring in to this sport, how you can make 0.0 level ppl pick up a racquet. But, Joke has great personality among all. You would approach him rather than Roger. So. We will have drink and party with Joko while roger being Goat at somewhere.🎉

What do you mean ' dont put him in conversation with these two.' How rude are you. Djokovic says he owes them a lot for his success because of their rivalries. I don't like Djokovic but at least he appears to be respectful to Federer and Nadal. He may be the most successful player but he certainly is not the best sportsman for many reasons.

@@stamenidjole3265 I can agree Federer can be a bit arrogant at times but Djokovics ' love and friendship' towards Federer and Nadal is totally put on. The way Djokovic behaved around Federer at the Laver cup was so cringeworthy. I saw videos where at least twice Djokovic pushed his way , literally, to be next to Federer for photos and videos. He actually elbowed Rafa out of the way and Rafa was only there for 24 hours. He has respect for them in his profession as a tennis player, but nothing else. How often has he said he could never regard Nadal as a friend because he was a rival , even saying ' we went out twice for a meal , but he can't be a friend'. Then recently he said that he hoped they could be friends when they both retired. What a joke! So you can only be a friend if you are not compeditive against someone. Strange , in my opinion. Of course Djokovic is good in many ways, charitable etc, but he is no more so than the other two. He may be lucky enough to be the most successful player , but personally, like many others I do not like his character. I will never find him genuine, I've tried but there is always something that clouds him as a person.
