1) RF is a GOAT at the moment, his advantage is bigger than GS statistics against Nadal, 2) Nole and Nadal are pretty on the same level now, 3) adding ATP rank gives us much complex view and ATP rank should contribute 20%-33% (1Y=1GS or 1Y=2GS) points in the GOAT race, 4) probably the realistic proportion is 1 year = sth between 1 to 2 GS, 5) one injury could decide competition between Nadal and Nole and prevent them from surpassing RF, 6) both Nadal and Nole need at least 3 GS to surpass RF (or equal at ATP No 1), 7) strong improvements of younger players could destroy Nadal and Nole plans to surpass RF, 8) Nole's secret weapon is his ability to stay at ATP No 1 relatively easy because of his universal technique, 9) both Nadal and Nole have no much time - seasons 2021 and 2022 would be probably decisive. Guess what, Ivan Lendl was Number 1 for a long time too. 15 … At the same time Nole probably surpass RF's 310 weeks, but disqualification at US Open could cost him much more than only 1 GS title - a place in history. 2018: First ATP World Tour titles, French Open semifinal, Top 20, Best result of an Italian tennis player in Grand Slam, "Tennis, Cecchinato nella storia: vince a Budapest, primo successo in un torneo Atp di un siciliano", "ATP Nizza: grande Cecchinato, batte De Bakker e si qualifica", Marco Cecchinato: Italian given 18-month ban for match-fixing, Marco Cecchinato Acquitted Of Match-Fixing, https://www.sport24.co.za/Tennis/ATPTour/cecchinato-claims-maiden-title-despite-defeat-20180429, "ATP Budapest: Lucky loser Marco Cecchinato wins the first ATP title", https://www.repubblica.it/sport/tennis/2018/06/01/news/cecchinato_berrettini_roland_garros-197939638, https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/amp/tennis/44349979, https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/tennis/44375046, https://www.theguardian.com/sport/live/2018/jun/05/french-open-2018-day-10-live-thiem-zverev-djokovic-stephens-keys, https://www.bbc.com/sport/tennis/44416697, https://www.tennisworldusa.org/tennis/news/Tennis_Interviews/58086/satisfied-marco-cecchinato-eager-to-continue-his-rise-after-umag-success/, https://www.atptour.com/en/news/cecchinato-schwartzman-buenos-aires-2019-final, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Marco_Cecchinato&oldid=982595625, Competitors at the 2013 Mediterranean Games, Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License. Andreas Mies, Kevin Krawietz win French Open doubles again. Her career-high ranking is world No. Many great female tennis players have graced the courts over the years. Answer: If Djokovic stays healthy and continues to play the way he is capable of playing I think he will exceed Nadal's GS titles and will eventually find himself as Number 2 all-time. Federer and Nadal deserve to be in the top two positions, in my opinion. Nadal is the best, followed by Djokovic, then and Laver. Italy has produced some very talented tennis players over the years, including both men and women. In contrast to many of his more outspoken peers, Lendl was known for letting his game do his talking. Question: Why is your top 10 missing Pancho Gonzalez on the list? It is the Tennis player’s equivalent of The Championship Game, Grand Final, World Cup, World Championships, Olympics (but not Tennis, instead other sports at the Olympics) or Test Match, to name some of the other major sports finals from around the world. In May 2013, Cecchinato qualified for the main draw at the ATP tournament in Nice, losing to countryman and No. On the other hand, Rod Laver might actually be real GOAT here. Nadal is the best. Fabio Fognini (Italian pronunciation: [ˈfaːbjo foɲˈɲiːni]; born 24 May 1987) is an Italian professional tennis player. I have no problem whatsoever with Nadal and Djokovic’s behaviour. I would place Lew Hoad in the 15 to 20 range all-time. Nadal is the GOAT. Eric, you forgot to mention Nadal has 19 majors in 5 less years and 20 less Grand Slam tournaments than Federer. That's why I think Nole has a slightly more chances specially if he develop his attack game near the net like "late" RF did. I say this because as good as Rafa is, most of his Grand Slam titles came on the clay of Roland Garros. Certainly the current generation of players including Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic along with perhaps Murray and Wawrinka at times would be one. Ivan Lendl and I are only interested in who ends with the most Grand Slam singles titles. I would probably place him in the top 20, maybe even top 15. He has won 8 Wimbledon Championships, 6 Australian Open titles, 5 US Open titles, and 1 French Open Championship. Who can forget his epic battles with Andre Agassi that made the 1990s a great decade for tennis? He won the calendar Grand Slam twice. By Verhoeff, Bert/Anefo via Wikimedia Commons.

You really need a lot of good fortune to overcome injuries. The Tennis Code of Conduct committee believes there is absolutely no case to answer for both Nadal and Djokovic. Nothing you or any other Federer fan will say will convince Nadal and Djokovic fans otherwise! Sinner has a career-high ATP singles ranking of world No. Certainly, a win at the 2018 US Open could convince me to at least to move him into the number four slot. Roger has always played with the outmost professional conduct. Answer: I think the edge would go to Roger Federer. I am not stopping you or anyone else discussing other what I consider to be less important statistics for your criteria for GOAT. To me, Nadal’s overall record on all surfaces compares very favourably with Djokovic and Nadal.
