The GOAT debate in tennis came back to the table lately with Novak Djokovic’s victory at Roland-Garros. On this occasion, the Serb became the most successful player in Grand Slam history. The Djoker therefore has some solid arguments, but according to the former coach of Roger Federer, Ivan Ljubicic, this does not make the native of Belgrade the greatest player in history.
Last June, Novak Djokovic entered a little more in the history of tennis. By prevailing against Casper Ruud in the final of Roland-Garrosthe Serb not only won his third Parisian tournament, he also became the most successful player in the history of tennis in Grand Slam. The Djoker exceeded Rafael Nadalstill stuck at 22 majors, pending a possible return.
Is Djokovic the GOAT?
With this new feat, Novak Djokovic struck a blow. He added one more argument in his favor in the debate of the GOAT. Who of the Serbian, of Rafael Nadalor of Roger Federer is the best player in the history of tennis? If we take the prize list, we cannot deny it, it is the Djoker who is number one. But other criteria can be taken into account, in order to decide in this endless debate.

Ivan Ljubicic votes Federer for the GOAT
He may not be the most objective, but for Ivan Ljubicicformer coach of Roger Federerthe Maestro can very well be considered the GOAT. For the Swiss newspaper, Tages Anzeiger, the former Croatian tennis player detailed his personal vision. “The best for me is the one who has had the most impact in his sport. I may not be objective, but there is a big difference between being the biggest and the most successful. Djokovic is more successful, but you only have to look at Michael Jordan to understand what I’m talking about. He was not the most titled, yet everyone considers him the best. As a result, Novak’s successes certainly do not overshadow what Roger was capable of. »
