"Roger Federer is done in the GOAT talk alongside Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic" - says Nick Kyrgios

According to Nick Kyrgios, Roger Federer should not be in the GOAT conversation anymore as Nadal and Djokovic clearly overtook him.

Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic are widely regarded as three of the greatest men's players of all time due to their incredible success over the last 15 years. Until the 2022 Australian Open they were all tied on 20 Grand Slam titles, but Nadal’s victory in Melbourne has moved him one clear. Now, it's Nadal on the top with Djokovic and Federer in pursuit.

For Kyrgios, only Djokovic is a viable option to be the GOAT besides Nadal:

"Roger is done for me in the GOAT talks guys, he is done. He’s got a losing record against both of them [Nadal and Djokovic], a really bad record. I don't even think Roger beats some of the other guys on the grass."

Nadal leads his head-to-head record against Federer 24-16 while Djokovic is 27-23 ahead. For Kyrgios between Djokovic and Nadal there is a clear favourite in his mind. He explained:

“If he wins the French he is unquestionably the GOAT. If he gets to 22 and the others are on 20 he has the GOAT crown.”
