Lately, it seems impossible to escape the GOAT debate if you're connected to the tennis world. Former players are also caught up in it, with many of them being the first to join the conversation. Yevgeny Kafelnikov, who is known for speaking his mind, boldly highlighted in the podcast First&Red how a great champion has long been completely left out of this discussion.
"To be honest, everyone seems to have already forgotten about Roger Federer, that's my personal opinion," stated the Russian, aware that these words may not sit well. "He has 20 Grand Slam titles, but objectively, Rafael Nadal has 22 and Novak Djokovic 24. For some, Federer will still be considered the best player of all time, but numbers don't lie. Performance is measured by the number of tournaments and titles won," commented the former world number 1.
