Novak Djokovic has gained momentum in the ranking of Grand Slam titles, and many experts in the tennis world consider him the GOAT (No. Best of All Time) at the moment. Mike Bryan, the former world number one in doubles and multiple major tournament winner (also in doubles), disagrees.

>> Tony Nadal doesn’t necessarily think Novak Djokovic is the best player in the history of tennis

Mike Bryan says he thinks Roger Federer is the GOAT of tennis

At the age of 45, Mike is one of the most important figures in the history of tennis, the American managed to dominate the doubles for two years in a row with his brother Bob.

The American retired from professional tennis with 1150 wins and only 373 losses. He has collected $16,767,452 in prize money, won 124 ATP doubles titles and has 18 majors (also in doubles, of course).

He’s seen and experienced a lot on the world circuit, and now he’s in on the GOAT “fight” that continues to divide white sports fans.

Mike praises Federer, Nadal and Djokovic, thinks the Serb will likely hold the most important records in tennis after his career ends, but thinks Federer is the best of all time – THE GOAT.

“Federer, Nadal and Djokovic are all three greats, but for me at the top is Roger Federer. In those few years, he dominated, almost never losing.

His manner of acting was always so agile, so natural. He didn’t sweat, he was like a Zen master.

He was also the most relaxed in the locker room. Before the Wimbledon final, he was laughing in the dressing room like it was a Sunday afternoon in the park.

When it all comes down to it, who knows who will hold all the records? It will probably be Djokovic, but I will always have a special place in my heart for Roger” – Mike Bryanquoted by welovetennis.fr.
