We all have our preferences, but like with Messi, you sound ignorant when you say Djokovic isn’t the greatest men’s tennis player of all time.

Champion of champions 🤩🤩

Always knew Djokovic would win the #AustralianOpen once the toughest opponents were eliminated early. His emotion after going to meet his crew said it all how devastated he was by what Australia put him through last year. To come back and be dominant, that’s a mentality monster.

We can laud the likes of Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer without constantly bashing the younger players.
If you don’t see quality in the current generation, you probably aren’t watching enough tennis.
Every generation will have its own greats.

Djoker Djokovic. Bad man

I need Carlos Alcaraz to be back for Roland Garros. And a fully fit Nadal. Djokovic cannot be allowed to get to 23 in France. pic.twitter.com/RmSphR3Q3e

The way Djokovic is going, he still has like five Grand Slams ready to collect and that’s scary considering his age but then he’s fit compared to Nadal. The world isn’t ready for Nole. #AustralianOpen

374 times as number 1 (the most), 92 titles (the most)and 22 grand slams(level with Nadal) !!! Novak Djokovic is the GOAT 🐐!!!

Djokovic will be the greatest tennis player ever. Nadal and Roger fans. Brace up. At this point it’s looming large. It’s sad as a Rafa fan but you have to just admit at this point.
Novak Djokovic will end up as the #GOAT𓃵— Ifeanyi (@Ifeanyi82) January 29, 2023
