      I think that Fed's opponent here made the 2nd round of a slam.... once. Career-high of 110. One to remember. Kyrgios has more recently said - "Novak Djokovic is the best player to ever touch a racket - the best player to ever walk the Earth.” Looks like he has given someone else than Fed the nod. Although don't just take Kyrgios's word for it. The long reigning pre-Big 3 GOAT anointed Djokovic even 2 years ago - "he is the greatest of all time". Sampras's voice does carry a decent amount of weight in these matters it's pretty obvious to say.

      Anybody who's watched Fed play (vs Djoko and others) knows he's a greater *player* than Djoko is. (Djoko is the marginally more successful winner.) Fed illustrated this himself by outplaying Djoko when he was in his mid 20s, in his late 20s, in his mid 30s, and in his late 30s. In fact, Djoko only approached 20 slams on the back of his two fluked wins over Fed - at USO11 & Wimby19. If Fed had closed those matches out like he should have, Djoko would have _at least_ two fewer slams & their H2H would be 25-25.
      Basically, my point is this: I don't care for the 'GOAT' discussion or debate, but Fed has _just as much_ of a claim to being the GOAT as Djoko does.

Whenever Djokovic first beat Federer at a slam Federer could NEVER beat Djokovic there again.. Federer's last ever slam match win against Djokovic was when Federer was still only 30 Federer was not able to beat Djokovic anymore at the slams long before he was "OLD". Federer didn't retire for more than another 10 years. Looking at the career outsets, Federer got past a first slam 1/4 final a few weeks off turning 22 in a soft period of tennis, appropriately facing the completely unseeded Philapoussis in his first final. Not being able to make even last four of a slam in that era until that age in retrospect is a fail. Fed had 3 completely unseeded players in slam finals 03 to 07. Bagdatis who barely spent a career couple of months in the top ten being the most "notable". Nadal wasn't able to contend at either the US open or the Australian open, not making it past a 1/4 final at either until 2008. Djokovic was dominating both Federer still in his 20's and Nadal in 2011 at just 23 in the strongest era of tennis. Completely different competitive landscapes to have to do it in.

      Well, as much as i prefer Roger over the rest big-3 (Delpo fan), that's debatable. For one, no one could ever beat 2008 Rafa on RG, no matter the form. Generally, in-form Rafa on clay is the most unbeatable force tennis has ever seen! As for Roger, we can't be sure! We've seen Novak played some flawless, maybe unparalleled tennis on some occasions. 2016 F in Doha against Rafa (Rafa said he had never seen anyone play at that level) and the first two sets of AO against Roger, same year. I'd love to see that Novak against AO 2009 Roger (match against Delpo) or the version against Blake in 2006 Masters Cup. Too bad it can't happen!

Well, they weren't. Roger, because of changes in technical equipment, and because of an obligated (by aging, with injuries to knee and back and consequent diminished court coverage) switch to extreme constant aggression, with a shift forward by one full meter in his average court positioning, was forced to modify his forehand movement during 2013 off-season, as well as his backhand... and while this fact gave an unbelievable new "youth" to his backhand, it didn't help his forehand consistency at all.

      @pierdomenicosommati443 You should look no further than Federer's dominance of Nadal after the 2017 AO. Age difference is the same. That was just mental. Against Djokovic, he had match points at Wimbledon. You can't be compromised by age and hold match points. You need to watch Wimbledon 2019. When Federer held two match points, Djokovic didn't do anything special at all, just trying to get the ball back, but Federer was just missing, and it looked 100% mental to anyone, even amateurs, who had played tennis and be in the same position. The reason for that was a result of Federer's losing many closed big matches to Djokovic before, like US Open semi 2010, 2011, Wimbledon 2014. Federer had match points in both US open semi 2010 and 2011. That must have haunted him in Wimbledon 2019.
      Yes, Federer's tennis can reach a God like level, which Nadal and Djokovic can't reach, which is why Federer bageled Djokovic at Cinci, but Federer is still human, and human is affected mentally by a lot of things.

      In tight situations, the problem of tension is universal... but it's far easier to fight tension by running even more and trying harder and harder, compared to what Federer always does in all his matches. The risk of playing less briliant pivotal points is inherent to his tennis, not to his person. And yes, age matters. When he was younger, this problem was much less relevant, and he was very notorious for hitting ace after ace when he faced very delicate situations on serve. Being 6 years older than your opponent, and feeling the risk of a long fifth set against a 6 years younger Djokovic if match doesn't end soon, is not gonna make things easier, like at all. It's a thing which can vastly impair one's confidence.
      Condidence in Federer's style of play, was everything. After his January 2008 mononucleosis and subsequent multiple unexpected losses, he suffered a visible loss of confidence, which ultimately was the main reason behind his loss to Nadal at Wimbledon, particularly in those two poorly played first sets.

      @pierdomenicosommati443 I don't really know about your analysis. I am not those players, so it's hard to say. But regardless of style, amy player could lose a mental match, Nadal and Djokovic too. Federer basically won the AO 2017 on mental will, then dominated Nadal since then. Federer is also very good at defending. It's not just finishing points.
      Age matters overall, which is why Federer is retired now, and Djokovic and Nadal are still playing. But in a specific match, if you hold match points in the fifth set, and then you were able to last until 14-12, it's ridiculous to blame age.
      Djokovic in the late part of his career had improved his mental game quite a bit. All of the very top players do a lot of work mentally. Tennis is a highly mental sport. You cannot win as much as Federer, Nadal, Djokovic without the mental game. But what I saw is that near the end, Djokovic edged out both Federer and Nadal just a tiny bit on the mental game.

His style, elegance and charisma is something inexplicable. The more I see Djokovic the more I realize he’ll never be anything like Federer and Nadal. He can win as many titles as he wants, he always remains the #3 who will have chased these 2 giants almost all his career.

    If you look at Holger Rune for instance. Hardly Better backhand than Fed imo. I think Federers at times were Better. Federer slightly Better serve. Muuuch Better forehand. Equally good defense, touch and netgame. Rune got some of the best volleys and touch i seen, i give him that. Lob also even i would give to the Swiss Superman. No way Rune unless he improves will win 20 slams even if playing pro level for 30 years. The big 3 is another rare level and class
    Alcaraz Will come back. Sinner, Shelton, Korda, Draper and ofcause Rune can All win many slams and some of Them Will win very many. But the big 3. Another level.
    I see the biggest potential in Alcaraz and Rune probably. Rune can become scary dominant one Day. Draper and Sinner too. Alcaraz has proved how good he already is in Slams

Novak will always have the most of this and that because of his superior competitive spirit, mental strength, and superb defense but his game is not "exquisite."
