Wilander gives own take on GOAT debate: "Roger pushed the boundaries, then Rafa pushed him before Novak came on stage to spoil the party"

Mats Wilander gave his take on the GOAT debate in a recent talk with Eurosport explaining the significance of each player.

The tennis world was very spoiled with the arrival of Roger Federer and his tremendous tennis play. Not long after that, we got another incredible player as Nadal threw his name into the mix. Then came Novak Djokovic adding a new dimension to the whole thing with Andy Murray handing out the finishing touch albeit a clear level below the big three.

Speaking about that GOAT race, Wilander said:

"Roger pushed the boundaries, then Rafa pushed him before Novak came on stage to spoil the party. Three opposing playing styles of the trio, which emerged at different times."

On Djokovic he said:

"The guy is physically an absolute exception and emotionally an animal on the tennis court - amazing."
