    He was already the GOAT. The only one who can catch him is Alcaraz, who is ahead of him at the same age but still obviously has like 15 more years to go.

      Personally I can’t see Alcaraz chasing Fed or Nadal let alone Djokovic. Djokovic is the goat because he conquered the other two goats. Alcaraz is on par with an aged Djokovic at the backend of his career, and no other “goat contenders” in sight. Even if Alcaraz dominates once Djokovic retires, he will have dominated a “lessor” era.

      We witnessed the greatest era in men’s tennis. Won’t see anything like it again. And Djokovic came out on top.

        Talent wise I agree with you. I guess from a majors perspective, I can see him possibly catching him in major wins.

        But I do agree that because his competition might not be viewed as strong, the perception could be even if he wins 20+ majors, he won’t be as highly ranked in the all time lost.

        He does have an injury problem though. Hope that doesn’t hurt him long term. I remember Martina Hingis was supposed to be the GOAT women’s player and she started off really strong but then injuries pretty much ruined her career.
