My head acknowledges that Djokovic is the goat, but my heart goes with Nadal.

My head acknowledges that the GOAT is a stupid concept in tennis and my heart knows that the debate needs done away with.

It's a debate in any sport.

Channel 4 even did a tv show about it.

Rogg still hurting there because his crush gets destroyed all the time and has never not will ever do anything significant.

I just find the Goat debate silly. There is no clear cut measure. If you go for Grandslam wins it's Federer, if you go for some of the best tennis ever played it's Laver/Djokovic. Borg for domination, Nadal for heart and fight.

You obviously don't have the capability to comprehend. It's nobody. They are all great for different reasons.

That's how I see it so Federer cannot be the goat.
Won his slams in a much weaker era.

Ain't going to worry a fresh Djokovic after his romp last night.
What's left of Nadal and del Potro after they slug it out for four hours won't either.

I suppose Nishikori has beat him at the stage before (I think). One never knows.
