"He's the one that is fit and healthy and playing the best tennis, but he has to go out and prove it": Henman believes Djokovic will win GOAT debate

Tim Henman clearly sees Novak Djokovic as the winner of the longstanding GOAT debate but it's on Djokovic to go out and prove it on the courts.

Novak Djokovic is in the best position to end up as GOAT according to Henman as he's still playing at a very high level despite his age. Federer is retired and Nadal is dealing with a lot more physical issues with Djokovic giving the Serbian a clear edge in the race. Despite that, Henman thinks he has to prove it:

"The GOAT race, for me, is a numbers game. I’ve said it for four or five years, but I think Novak will end up with the most Grand Slams in the men's game. He's the one that is fit and healthy and playing the best tennis, but he has to go out and prove it."

He added:

"In this sport, you don't know what's going to happen. That's why they go out there and play. But when he's playing this type of tennis, when he's fit, he's healthy, and he's focused - his record speaks for itself. There's no doubt that he's the favourite. To see Novak come straight back to Adelaide and win the tournament last week, I think it shows you know how well he's playing. I think you also need to reflect how well he played at the end of last year. He won in Paris; he won the Tour finals. I was there, and he was playing fantastically well."
