Novak Djokovic May Have Won The Most, But He Will Never Be The Goat

It may come as a surprise to say Novak Djokovic is definitely not the Greatest Of All Time in mens tennis, but its an opinion I feel strongly about.

The Serbian has indeed won the most mens grand slam titles with his tally of 24 and could add another at the Australian Open currently underway, but for me Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer are both bigger tennis legends.

The retired duo of Nadal and Federer have won 22 and 20 grand slam titles respectively, but yet both rank ahead of Djokovic in the most important aspect of sport.

That aspect of course, is humility. This is not to say that the Spaniard and Swiss legends do not have a certain kind of arrogance in their armour. For they do.

However, theres a line between self-confidence and arrogance, and many talented sports stars generally tread on one side. In fact, some say you have to be arrogant to be successful and they may well be correct.
