Few yrs ago I would have agreed with you Loki. But the way Fed has had to reinvent himself in his later yrs, due to the challenge of djokovic, nadal and lesser extent Murray.... has been phenomenal. If he wins tonight.... he is the GOAT imo

Since Nadal beat him on grass at Wimbledon over 7 years ago (2008) and became a genuine rival on all surfaces he has won four slams (not majors). Since the emergence of Djokovic in 2011 he has won one. Has he really invented himself?

Roger Federer was virtually peerless between 2004-2007 winning 11 of 16 slams. Rod Laver won the the calendar Grand Slam in 1962 and 1969 and was banned from competing in the other events inbetween as he turned professional to make money from the sport. Until Roger surpasses 19 slams (Rod Laver has 11 traditional and 8 professional slams) there will always be a debate. Bjorn Borg has a better slam record than Federer too.

Anyway on to tonight's match and I hope Djokovic wins with a few "lucky" forehands on match points again.
