The Goat Race Is Over 

You forgot one number : Djokovic leads in his H2H against the other two !

The fact that Novak won’t bend over the coercive vaccine rule knowing he would miss many slams and titles speaks volume about his character. That is more GOAT stuff than the other tww combined.

I used to find myself using the same excuses for Federer, but from all your videos I can see Djokovic was always the greatest, Thank You Goatkovic for opening my eyes.

Corona and politics prevented Djokovic from being the undisputed GOAT. If corona and politics had not happened, Djokovic would now have 25 GS, 40+ masters, 450+ weeks, 8 seasons in first place. But even despite all those injustices, Djokovic is again better than Federera and Nadal in all statistics. Djokovic is without a doubt the absolute god of tennis

Congratulations to The GOAT for Major #23 triple career Srand Slam and return to #1 in ATP rankings.

Best ever, going strong, and not stopping anytime soon. Congratulations Novak for a historical 23rd Grand Slam Win at Roland Garros. Best of luck for the rest of the season.

Now that he's got 24 titles, the haters HAVE to admit the djoker is the undisputed goat. Possibly the greatest ever athlete in any sport.

Without doubt Novak's the greatest player to ever set foot on a tennis court. Let's be honest, even Federer and Nadal know it, though they'd be loathe to ever admit it.

The two greatest sportsmen in their sport at the moment are both Serbian. It’s recognised all over the world but the west won’t accept it. By the way they are Novak Djokovic and Nikola Jokić. Proof is in the numbers and jealousy is a curse.

Great video. Now is even better with 23 Grand Slams and counting

i missed you brother :D The Goat is back!!!!

Respect from Russia! Novak is the greatest! 👑 Everyone who think different is just a jealous morons😂

Congrats to Novak Djokovic for winning US Open 2023 and his 24 GS title. Only the sky is the limit now 👏👏

Djokovic will always be a hero to the rest of the world who were against the forced vaccines. He has given us all a voice.

Nadal fans will talk about Roland Garos and Olimpic medal, Rogers will talk about most tournaments.. (250 points.. whatever) And Novak is simply from Serbia! If he was under UK or USA flag.. he would be the greatest of all time *without* *any* *question* *AND* *WIHT* *ALL* *PRIVILEGES* But Novak is from Serbia. World will understand Serbia and Searbian people (maybe) someday..They are simply so sinful and so unaware of what they are doing. People do not deal with real life values and this world and this world is slowly but surely moving towards certain paths of destruction. Let's enjoy all the magic of Novak Djokovic, while the magic still lasts... And lets pray that the world has more people PS *human* *people* ,and then sportsmen like Novak. Thank you for the video Sir As always precise🤝🏼🎯

Nadal fan right here, but I also like Djokovic, and I think it's undeniable that he's the greatest tennis player ever.

You deserve a like just for this caption at 2:18. Not only was Djokovic denied the opportunity to defend his 2022 AO championship, but Nadal swooped in like a hyena to take advantage of the situation ….all the while kicking sand in Novak’s face while he was down. Good job. Nadal showed the world how great he was by successfully avoiding Novak on hard court again.

Novak is definitely the GREATEST OF ALL TIME ....let's hope Novak wins few more slams and slap the people who won't accept the reality that Novak is GREATEST OF ALL TIME

Even Federer is better than Nadal. The only reason Nadal leads Federer head to head is because of all their matches on clay, so it distorts the h2h in Nadal's favour, whereas Federer actually leads Nadal h2h on hard and grass. And Nadal hasn't even beaten Djokovic on a hard court in TEN years! 1.Djokovic 2.Federer 3.Nadal

Novak is the best ever

You are right numbers don't lie. To be goat Goatovic has H2H against Fedal. He got the holy grail of grand slams. And the golden master twice. It means he is a complete player on all surface. Forget all the x and the o. He is the emperor of tennis.❤💯👍👽

FOR the fedal fans is the the goat debatte like a miss universe competition where elegance, beauty, popularity is important. THANK YOU NOLE that you bring the fedal fans in this desperate situation

#24 in the bag. Debate is definitely over now and forever.

Couldn't agree more. I remember becoming a big fan of Djokovic when he first came on the scene, and it's so obvious that people who want to argue that either Federer or Nadal deserve the greatest acclaim in the sport, at this point, are doing so for reasons that have nothing to do with Tennis. The "debate" is nothing but a popularity contest, and one coloured by Western political anti-Eastern European/Slavic/Russian/Serbian sentiments and prejudices in Western sports media and Western media in general. I remember how Djokovic was always treated at the US Open, basically like a villain by the crowd a lot of the time, again, for reasons having zero to do with the sport itself, or with his actual conduct and behavior, which has always been excellent. Contrast that with Serena Williams, who has been an openly awful person on-court tons of times, but always is treated like a perfect goddess by the American media and fans. Federer and Nadal are of course also truly great players, true legends, but their fans are delusional to think that "popularity" should have anything to do with the conversation about who the GOAT truly is. And anyone who is a pure fan of the sport itself ought to be a big fan of Djokovic, because unlike Federer or Nadal, he has no weaknesses, no bad surface, no side that is worse than the other... he is the true complete best player of all time, and that ought to be obvious to anyone who loves the sport itself, and doesn't merely happen to like Federer or Nadal for "fandom" type reasons... which let's be honest, a lot of those numbers of their fans are.

Of course, Nole is the greatest without a doubt. The only people that don't accept this real facts are the Rogers and Nadal fans, but at this time who cares what they say. Numbers and statistics speak for themselves.

The GOAT race is *OVER!* It's all clear! 🟥🟦⬜

I would say the "number of people who like them" argument is on Novak's side too, it's just that we live in a Western-centric world so you would think that everyone likes Roger or Rafa, but I think in the other three quarters of the world population, Novak has a big advantage.

Novak would be sitting on 25-27 slams without COVID. That’s the scary part

Novak doesn't have more fans than Roger and Nadal because he is Serbian, a non NATO country or part of the Western alliance. Therefore he doesn't have much media support, where media is controlled by the Western bloc. And also the Western media always hone in on his on-court antics like arguing with the umpires, having tantrums and standing for his right not to accept the experimental vaccines. And at the same time, the Western media lavishly sings praises of Nadal and Roger.

Its 24 Slams now, more Weeks #1 and soon to be 8 Year-End #1 and counting for Djokovic. Don't forget, he's the only player to win each Grand Slam 3 times.

Besides the unreachable 23 world titles, Novak has the complete 'package'. He stood firm while tolerating scorn, derision and abuse,concerning PERSONAL health decisions.His patriotic, Christian and family values are the TRUE embodiment of actual European ideals, not the preudo-values espoused by the captured and corrupt European leaders. A REAL LEADER from a country that has also been abused by the West.From Greece with love.

There are actually 3 more important things other than the ones you mentioned: winning all 14 Big titles, number of real career Grand Slams and if exists, the Grand Slam, whether a Calendar Grand Slam or Non-Calendar Grand Slam. Of course, these are only in additional to the 5 records you mentioned.

The tennis order has been restored today.

Djoko stands up and speaks up of his values and characters. What a man!!!

Two guys who yesterday's win has to be killing inside: the choker Federer and Nadal's bitch uncle Toni. I love it and it makes #23 even sweeter.

If it wasn't before today, it certainly is now.

23 Grand Slam. And the debate is now officially over

Novak won 24th Grand Slam US Open 10th September 2023.

👍 BRILLIANTLY EXPRESSED. THANK YOU! 🙏

This aged well

Your reasoning is hilarious and completely on point! Nole is the GOAT, I've never questioned it!

End of november 2023 Đoković holds record for every category you listed and still going A fucking alien, out of this world, the GOAT

I always argue when Fedal fans said "Djokovic isn't love like Federer and Nadal": Please, this is tennis, not a Miss Congeniality Contest.

Time for a new video!!! 😎 23>>>22>>>20 🎉🎉🎉

Thanks for compiling the numbers. I always liked Djokovic and saw him as the underdog earlier in his career, but the numbers don't lie and I'm glad he got the respect and the wins he deserved! Amazing player

Only thing left to get is an 8th Wimbledon title to erase all of Federer's tennis accomplishments.

Former Nadal supporter. Novak convert from January 2020. He’s sacrificed titles and slams while close to his best form, been booted from the U.S. and Australia, and still holds the record. The courts are slower and suit baseliners of today. I truly pray they quicken the courts to rattle the game. There’s nothing quite like watching matches at the highest level in 2023.

#23 Novak Djokovic - All Time Greatest & GOAT, no more arguments, no more disputes. King of Kings.

Come on Novak!! 🏆🥇🎾💪💪💪🎉🎉🎉🎉 !!

Novak has had to achieve his record by playing against both Federer and Nadal at their peak and he has consistently beat them both throughout his career, he has won on all surfaces, and if it wasn't for the Covid mandates he could well have more slams to his name. He is indeed the G.O.A.T.

He won't be loved and adored like the 2 queers I.e. Rafa and federer because the news hates djokovic for some reason. Probably because djokovic isn't a sellout who only cares about money and pushing the mainstream agenda.

-> Grand Slams - Most Grand Slams (22) - Non-Calendar Year GS (4 Consecutive GS) -> ATP Finals - Most ATP Finals (6) - 4 consecutive ATP Finals -> Masters - Most Masters (38) - 2 Career Golden Masters - Most Masters in a season (6) -> Big Titles - Most Big Titles (66) - 2 Big Titles Sweep - Held 4 GS + ATP Finals simultaneously - Most Big Titles in a season (10) -> Ranking - Most Year-end #1 (7) - Most Weeks #1 (387) - Highest ATP points ever accumulated (16,950) -> Wins - Highest career win percentage - 80%+ win percentage on each surface (hard, clay, grass) - Most wins against top 5 - Most wins against top 10 - 80+ wins at each GS (Federer: RG (73 wins) - Nadal: AO (77 wins), USO (67 wins), Wimbledon (58 wins)) - Positive H2H against the Big3 - Most wins against the Big3 at their favorite GS (Djokovic has beaten Nadal 2 times at RG. Nadal has never beaten Djokovic at AO; Djokovic has beaten Federer 3 times at Wimbledon. Federer has beaten Djokovic at AO once)

Novak now has 23 grandslams ;)

I will never forget the courage Djokovic showed during the COVID "pandemic". He is the GOAT far beyond Tennis.

Honestly, this was not that surprising. Djokovic was always the most talented of the three. Once he got his mental game to where it needed to be, it was inevitable that he would become better than the other two. It was just how much of a mark would he make historically, was the question mark. But basically, it was just if all three were to reach their full potential, Djokovic would come out on top. And that's all that happened. This should not be a surprise to anyone.

I enjoyed watching all three players, each for different reasons. There is no denying that these are the three best tennis players ever. No doubt Djokovic is the GOAT.

the debate is over for now!

I think the easiest way to describe why Djokovic is the GOAT ( without analyzing and comparing each title vs.the competitors) is to mention that Djokovic had more success than Federer and Nadal on 2/3 surfaces ( ND won more GS titles than RN on HC+GRASS ,and more GS titles than RF on HC+CLAY).Then, the second argument in Novak' s favor is the fact that he accomplished more than 50% of what FEDAL accomplished together when you compare GS+WTF+ATP1000+WEEKS@#1+H2H+TOP10WINS+YE#1+PRIZE$.Then, you compare each one to the other and look at what they did not do ( accomplish).Rafa never won WTF,Miami, Paris,Shanghai , never defended a grass title, never beat Novak in 5 main tournaments ( AO+MIA+CIN+PAR+CHINA OPEN).Federer never won MC/Rome, never beat Nadal in USO/RG.

He’s been the best since he dominated in 2011.

Totally agree with your facts, we just need to inform the crooked media.

And now he has 24 and counting. He will have at least 30 by the time he hangs it up.

The GOAT race was over long ago ! There hasn’t really been one in the slightest since January.

Novak Djokovic took away mental health from Federer, knees from Nadal, hip from Murray. And he's now destroying younger players. haha

Another goat argument was he broke all these titles playing against the second and 3rd best tennis players ever, even if someone breaks some records of his in the future no one will have the competition Novak had over his career, truly separated himself as the goat by a mile

Novak is underated while the other two are overrated. I don't trust the sport anymore.

Novak is also the only one who's been denied participation in both Australian Open and US Open, thus favouring his opponent(s). No question he is the GOAT. Also, those who say he's not so popular than the other two refer mainly to America and arguably Western Europe. The other 7 billion earthlings are very much happy with the best player of all times coming from a small country and being an authentic human being, not compliant with the controlling impositions of today's powers.

How come a 3 set olympic match can be greater than a 5 set Grand Slams?

Djokovic is the most popular tennis player in the world by far because he is the most popular in China and India..that's half the planet.. but the west act like only they exist..

People dont want a serbian man to be the greatest player of all time and thats why they are saying Nadal and Federer are greater players than Novak. But as you said, all the numbers are with Novak and we should consider the fact that he has positive h2h again both Nadal and Federer. Therefore Djokovic is the GOAT!

If Wimbledon points were awarded novak would would have more weeks at no 1, excluding all other stuff that happened during that time period.

Please update with slam #23 as soon as possible!! :)

For all the people still saying Novak is not the goat, they are insulting this sport and insulting their own intelligence. Get real, the debate is over and done 🎉❤❤😅

21 with an asterisk hahahahhaa love it

hope you make a new video this days

Not only did he compete with peak Nadal, but he also continues to surpass him, showcasing the sheer greatness of the GOAT Novak Djokovic.

“BuT hE dOeSn’T hAvE aN oLyMpIc GoLd MeDaL. HeS nOt As BeLoVeD!“ - Fedal zealots

I like it when fans of Federer say, Roger was number one for 237 consecutive weeks. then I like to point out, Yeep ...Thats like being the leader of a race for 2/3 of the race, and then you come second.

Couple of points: 1. The gap between Novak and the other two is going to grow in most categories. Certainly in the majors won (Novak should hit 25) and weeks at #1 (Novak is already at 388 and should each 400+ shortly). If Novak wins Wimbledon, Novak will likely also finished the year at #1 for the 8th time. 2. Novak has a winning record against Roger (27-23) and Rafa (30-29), as well as more wins vs top 10 players (245) than Roger (223) or Rafa (188), and a better winning record against top 10 players (69%) than Roger and Rafa (both of which have a 65% record).

I know this was made before the recent French Open finals win, which of course only deepens the argument. Now, with Novak being the only person to win all 4 grand slams 3 times, it's not even a debate anymore. I say this as a huge Nadal fan. I am actually most of all, a tennis fan. So all three of them are/were legends of the sport who pushed each other to insane heights. I got to meet Djokovic at Indian Wells about 7 years ago and he was super friendly and accommodated my telling him a joke by laughing when my delivery was terrible. This was back when the Djoker was courting folks to tell him jokes.

Novak now has 23 grand slams.

Yep he shat on them.

Great video once again. Looking forward to the next one about GS/Masters titles argument. Also it would be great if you to expand on the point you made in your previous video on why you have RF as your no.2 in GOAT race and RN as no.3... Cheers!

"now that Nadal is finished..." "with an asterisk" This guy is FUN E

If u add in the match fixing in favour of Nadal and Federer over Djokovic and Murray it is another shamefull thing to add. Djokovic always playing at worst times in the hottest periods of the day, has the crowd against him, the media narratives, x3 x4 times more doping tests compared to the other 2. Nadal and Federer are baked by everyone, the crowd, the media, the tournament organizers, you can even argue the referees. They are children of the system and the system has their back and that is clear for they defended that same system in detriment to the players while Djokovic is doing the opposite and is on the side of the players despite most of them not being vocal and helping him during Australian covid scandal. Better personality and better human overall are also qualities that are considered in goat debates.

Novak has now, 23 Grand Slams!!!

FOR THE MAIN TOPIC: The answer why the GOAT race is so confusing is 1:08. People misunderstood this as a POPULARITY contest. They are living indenial in the pathetic '3 goats' debate. FOR THE MUSIC: Glad you bring back Patrick Patrikios' tracks. Hope for more video to come, Goatkovic! IDEMO!

Djokovic...the unquestionable GOAT!!! 😁😁😁👍👍👍😝😝😝🤗🤗🤗

Novak GOAT! You see Federer and Nadal won over 40% of their Grand Slams while Novak was not yet on the big stage, while Novak won all his Grand Slams by winning in the finals against Federer and Nadal when they seemed to be the favourites. Further, Novak won more one on one matching in total against both Federer and Nadal. Novak is also the player who did spend more weeks as No1 player on the ATP list than anyone else.

Some people are just liking numbers that are in their favour. No matter how absurd that is sometimes.

Novak is a great ambassador for the game.

If people say anyone other than Joker is the GOAT, than the stat that matters is who your favorite player of all time is. Thus, the GOAT for me is Andy Rodick.

Nadal Fan Here But As A Tennis Fan I Accept All The True Facts In This Video Content.Well Done GOATKOVIC.

We are looking forward to your next video. I hope you enjoyed the latest victory against Carlito!!. Idemo NOLE!!

I love, admire and respect Novak!

22,21* 20 😂 ... 21* gave me so much laugh 😂

One more argument for Novak - the modern tennis and upcoming most successful stars are mostly influenced by his gameplay.

Even with sampras it wasn't that simple. Sampras' failure to win the french open raised serious questions about his goat status as even federer when his chance came took RG as did Novak. Agassi's four slams on four surfaces (+4 more) +olympic gold +year end tournament+#1 puts him ahead of sampras. Novak is now almost certainly the greatest ever

Hey, just came here after this year's RG final, cant wait to hear what you have to say in new video. No other way asking you except drop a comment hope you can see it!!

Nole is clearly the best ever , a complete athlete and consistency over time which will be hard to beat in the future but why has Nadal got 21 slams? It’s 22

keep it coming - I'm in my 70's and grew up with a racquet in my hand - I was no professional but duked it out with guys who had played Davis cup back in the Amateur days..... I watched from Laver/Roche/Emerson/Newcombe onwards .... all the greats LIVE/even Borg ...... What you are doing is slowly building the complete picture as to why Novak is the GOAT ... at the end of the day there will always be those whose cognitive dissonance will simply blind them to 'the complete picture' you are creating ..... for me what blows me away is his mental strength .... imagine Roger dealing with Boo's, he'd melt like a snowflake, and he never gave Novak any respect until he realised Novak was going to keep kicking his arse - Rafa you have to respect his fighting Spirit and no doubt he was the King of Clay but I believe even he would have struggled with the years of Negativity that Novak has endured ( and as many hypothesised, his playing style has caught up with his body ) , and lets face it Novak would have won The Aussie Slam in 2022 if he had been allowed to play (just look at the 2023 demolition job on one leg! ) etc etc he's not just the GOAT but easily The GOAT and I can tell by the time you have finished it will be clear to anyone with a clear coherent and objective mind ...... Lastly barring injury or political B/S he is going to finish with a record that will never be beaten - I'm predicting 30+ slams .... I salute you for paying homage to one of the greatest sportsman of all time he's in the Ali /Jordan club.......
