World number one Serena Williams was asked to give her thoughts on the hotly contested debate as to who deserves to be called the “Greatest of All Time” (GOAT) between Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal.
“I think it’s impossible to say which one is greater. I think Roger is a great player. He’s done so much for the game and the sport. He’s just an unbelievable athlete and unbelievable player. He’s been playing for a long time. Rafael, on the other hand, started younger, starting winning Grand Slams really young, and he’s a great, great player as well. But if you’re going by numbers, Roger still has more Grand Slams than Rafa, so you have to go with that,” she said.
“I go by numbers. I don’t think I’m the greatest because Steffi has way more Grand Slams than me. I just go by what’s written down, really,” she added.
