Tennis GOAT

[Briancuse]

I didn't know until very recently that Seles is married to Tom Golisano. He's worth over 4 billion and 32 years older than her. I wonder if she still grunts.

Everytime she sees her bank account. Balance.

No need to recap Djokovic’s career except to say he has almost every major record in the books and bested 2 of the top 5 all time players in head to head competition.

Many top 100 players are fortunate to make one or two major semis in their CAREER. Probably less than 0.1% of players ever rated in the top 100 make it to all 4 major semifinals in their career.

So what I want to point out is just how incredibly awesome it is that Djokovic made all 4 major semis this year when he is 38 years old; long past when most players have retired and virtually no one is still competive at a high level. He is doing this against the 4th generation of players he has faced.

Yet, in spite of his very high level of success this season, by his standard of excellence, he is considered washed up as a player. It is a great example of just how amazingly exceptional his career has been; off the charts so to speak.

The GOAT of GOATs in my mind!

My favorites are McEnroe and Nadal. Joker or Federer would be my top 2 (never saw Laver). After that, coin toss. Probably Serena, Martina, then Steffi or Chrissie. (Never saw Court)

Mine is Steffi Graf. Met her once. Which only validated my crush.

Definitely the GOAT but man, am I impressed by Alcaraz. 22 years old with 6 major titles. Djokovic had 1 at that age. A long way to go but already a quarter of the way to Djokovic’s major record. What a time to be a tennis fan!

I thought he would walk through folks, but Skinner will be his foil. Should be a great few years.
