Henman was pretty good like. Would Federer beat him?

Henman beat Federer in 2001 after Federer had beaten Sampras in the previous round.
GOAT = Tiger Tim

He would put the ball in places not even the fittest cloggers like Nadal and Novak can reach. Such a fad thing to suggest Djokovic is the GOAT over Federer because he won a match today.

Federer is the best player ever in terms of his skill and shot making, but Djokovic's returning is beyond a joke and as we saw today, his will to win is unreal. I think Fed is the greatest ever, but Djokovic has done his case no harm today at all, regardless of winner/loser of the match.

Old man Federer is still toying with Nadal and Djokovic when he should be retiring, it's great to watch.
The GOAT in every sense. Never a sport is it more confirmed who is the GOAT than in tennis.

I dunno if federer is the best ever as only really been interested in tennis in the time of Murray/federer/nadal/Djokovic.
Federer is the best out of all them imo but because of the level they all play(ed) at they could all beat each other 'at their peak' on their day. I only caught the end of the match today but that was unreal fitness shown by federer to still be playing class tennis after about 5 hours aged 37

38 next month.

Federer has won 8 Wimbledon titles at the absolute peak of tennis, you can point at Sampras and the like but they weren't playing the same standard of people as Federer is and for this long.
Comfortably the greatest.

Sampras Bjorg Djokovic Nadal Agassi Becker McEnroe Lendl That's my go...

Think Nadal and Djokovic fill out the top 3. No one can touch that big three imo.
In fact, I actually think peak Murray is better than a decent number of them too.
