Wawrinka backs Djokovic in GOAT debate: "It all depends on what one is looking for in this list"

Stan Wawrinka believes that Novak Djokovic will end up as the GOAT because the stats back it up while also adding that ultimately it's highly subjective.

The GOAT race is a never-ending debate among fans because it's tough to pick. Most people simply choose who they like the most while neither player has a clear case yet. Djokovic is most likely to end up with the best case but he's not the most popular among fans making many unwilling to call him the goat.

For Wawrinka it's rather clear yet:

“They broke all the records between him, Rafa and Roger. They took everything and ate everything. These are the greatest players in the history of tennis. Let’s go on the GOAT, I have no problem saying things and saying what I think. It all depends on what one is looking for in this list, simply. If we talk about pure results and pure victories, Novak will be ahead of the other two. I have been convinced of this for years and in my opinion this is what will happen."

He added:

“I’ve always said it was lucky to be able to play at the same time as these four players because I also include [Andy] Murray, who for more than ten years has been in all the tournaments in the semi-finals, finals or won when they weren’t there. For me it was a chance to play with the greatest players in the history of tennis. But for me, in sport, there is no if. There is no if I had been in a weaker or stronger generation. It does not exist, there is only the reality of the results.”
