There has been a lot of debate surrounding who is the GOAT of men's tennis, and former World No.1
Boris Becker chimed in on the discussion, saying it could come down to a historic clash between Rafale Nadal and
Novak Djokovic at Roland Garros.
In an interview with TennisMajors, Becker opined with both men and
Roger Federer having at least 20 Grand Slam titles, it was even more difficult to come to a definite conclusion.
“Whoever likes tennis, we have interesting times where we have arguably the greatest of all time taking all the titles away from everybody else,” said Becker. “There was a time where each of these players had 20 majors, which is unheard of. To have one is maybe possible, but three impossible. Now Federer has retired, Nadal is possibly on one leg at the moment, Djokovic is also 35."
Additionally, Becker stated a final between Nadal and Djokovic at the upcoming French Open could be instrumental in swaying the decision of fans on who is the GOAT of the sport.
“Both have 22 majors, the French Open is coming up…,"added the German. "It would be interesting to see a final between Nadal and Djokovic to decide ultimately who has the most grand slams of all time, so stay tuned."
