Weeks from Federer controversy, Lindsay Vonn crowns Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal as GOATs

Lindsey Vonn, former skier, hails Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic as the greatest of all time, sparking controversy among fans. The American, renowned as one of the greatest skiers in history and a close friend of the 20-time Grand Slam champion Roger Federer, shared a skiing trip with him a few days ago.

After showcasing their meeting on Instagram, Vonn made it clear that Federer is the GOAT, a comment that irked some Novak Djokovic fans, who criticized Vonn's supposed inconsistency: 'Okay first it was Roger, now Nole, when are you going to tell us that Rafa is the GOAT for you?' some fans asked.

The skier responded with humor to the comments and considered all three, Federer, Djokovic, and Nadal, as the greatest of all time: 'Yup, he is! Hahaha. I think the big 3 are goats. Their impact in the sport can’t be denied. And also, it’s just my opinion so…,' she wrote with a video of Nadal at the recent Netflix Slam.

Later, Vonn shared a photo with Djokovic and also asserted that he is the best of all time. According to the North American, there can be more than one GOAT in her opinion:

“Hanging with the GOAT and yes, I do believe he is the goat. Contrary to twitter beliefs, I think there can be more than one. But @DjokerNole holds the records and I have nothing but respect for what he’s achieved… and he skis!”
