Why is Federer your GOAT, besides you find him cute and love his Rolexes?
Yes, like I said, je ne sais quoi.
Also Nadal and Novak are dopers.
Yes, it’s just a joke. You merely showed up to lighten the mood and good-naturedly jest🤦♂️
So Federer has a beautiful game. That’s your point. Yep, we’ve already established that early on this thread. Absolutely no one disagreed. Federer is the GOAT of beautiful tennis.
But he doesn’t have the grand slam record, he doesn’t have Olympic gold, he hasn’t won nearly as many ATP Masters 1000 events, and he has a losing head-to-head record to Djokovic. He simply cannot be the GOAT.
Alright you disagree, so be it. I don't need us to agree on who the best tennis player is on a running message board.

You give up so easily. Stay and take an eternal beating like Harambe. lol.
I’m asking where is your proof that Djokovic and Nadal were dopers? Surely you have proof because we can prove these things?
Ah yes the famous defense of Lance Armstrong and Marion Jones...
I don't have PROOF they doped but there is enough evidence and doubt that I place Feddy above them. You are free to disagree.
What evidence? That he has played so well at such an advanced age? But I will grant you that he has and it is an outlier.
The only one pulling the Lance Armstrong defense is one Jannik Sinner, who already got popped for which he merely received a “yellow card.” The only guy that seems to easily dispatch of Djokovic in grand slam events. Hmmmm….

So then why would you need us to all agree on Covid protocol on a running message board? Why weigh in at all, especially on a tennis thread?
Unless, of course, the point is to get the last word and declare yourself the *winner* lol…
You can't prove a qualitative opinion (tennis GOAT). You DEFINITELY can't prove an observational negative (Where is your proof that Federer isn’t). I gave my evidence (see: Bekele 2009, not looking like a doper)
You can prove that vaccination is protective against all-cause mortality in all cohorts :)

Chokervic has been accused of doping by well regarded tour pros. Were they a runner that would be plenty of evidence to warrant suspicion and discussion. Like what we are having now

Nobody needs to agree. You all cannot accept that a decent number of people disagree with your opinions on tennis.
This is extremely offensive to you and others. Hence these 1000 posts
Oh, we ALL can accept that you disagree if you give legitimate reasons and profer a well-reasoned alternative, which you will not and cannot. You don’t get to sit here and proclaim that so and so is most definitely not the goat and then subsequently argue it to death without merit and without saying who is, which you are unable to do.
We’ve all committed to the stance that Djokovic is, in fact, the actual GOAT with lots of ammo and evidence to support it. You’ve done no such thing other than to sophomorically whine “I know you are but what am I?”

I’ve given plenty of reasoning. You disagree with it but still, it’s my reasoning, my opinion.
He’s not the goat. You’ll have to live with the fact that I think that. And that he’s a doper. And a choker. And has long COVID.
I think you’re dead wrong, but unlike your antivaxx stuff, you saying stuff about Chokervic that I disagree with doesn’t kill Americans. So, carry on!

I don’t have to live with anything, other than the knowledge that you’re wrong on every account, and you lack the balls to state who the actual GOAT is and deliver a well reasoned rationale to support it. Understood.
You’re a distance runner. You know where there’s smoke, there fire. We are experts at this stuff.
It’s completely legitimate to be suspicious of Chokervic. To think he’s a mega doper, even.
Ill note that well regarded tour pros accusing Chokervic is evidence, finally
I was a tennis player long before a distance runner. Frankly, I think every single one of them in the modern era is suspicious, including Federer who got a second wind at age 35. In fact, what indicts Djokovic the most is the fact that he’s STILL playing extremely well in the world’s top ten on the cusp of 40. That is abnormal. But none of this undermines his GOATness. And it certainly isn’t “evidence.”

2600 bro and I ensnared bystander already. You can drop it. He wouldn’t even answer a basic question when he said he wouldn’t
