A host of superstars revealed their Greatest of All Times
players outside the world of tennis in a video posted on social media platform X
โ previously known as Twitter.
The video was recorded during the ongoing ATP 1000 Shanghai
Masters which will be concluding on Sunday with a final between Russiaโs Andrey
Rublev and Polandโs Hubert Hurkacz.
Americaโs Tommy Paul,
Ben Shelton, and Greeceโs tennis star Stefanos
Tsitsipas ended up picking former NBA star Michael Jordan as the GOAT player
outside tennis.
Italyโs Jannik Sinner named another basketball legend Kobe
Bryant as his greatest player outside the world of tennis.
Americaโs
Sebastian Korda ended up picking American golfer
Tiger Woods in response to that question.
The most detailed answer was given by two playersโRussiaโs Daniil
Medvedev and Argentinaโs Diego Schwartzman.
Medvedev picked Portugalโs star striker Cristiano Ronaldo
along with Argentinaโs legendary footballer Lionel Messi as his GOAT players.
"Just because I like soccer, I would say Cristiano and
Messi, together combined is the GOAT. Let's do it this way. I need to say
something," he said.
On the other hand, Schwartzman ended up picking his fellow
countrymen Messi and late Diego Maradona as the greatest players outside the
world of tennis.
"The GOAT? Outside [of tennis]? Messi and Maradona.
Easy question! Argentinian, Messi and Maradona. The Double M," he said.
