With Djokovic winning strongly at Wimbledon, he also equaled Finner's current record of 20 men's singles Grand Slam titles. The debate over the best of all time has once again become a major topic in tennis circles.
The public says that the public is reasonable and the wife is reasonable. Here, we may wish to listen to what the French star Gasquet, a contemporary of the Big Three, said.
In the eyes of "tofu", "strongest" and "greatest" are two different things.
For the greatest:
"In my opinion, the number of Grand Slam titles is not the most important indicator, but whether the beauty, elegance and so on displayed by the players playing on the field can impress me. I often hear people discussing various records, and I don't think it actually makes sense. For me, Federer is irreplaceable, and the beauty of tennis he has shown has made him indisputably the greatest player in history in my heart. ”
For the strongest:
Gasquet added: "I watch tennis mainly to feel the beauty of tennis. But if there is anyone who is the strongest, it is undoubtedly Djokovic. It's great to be able to win three consecutive Grand Slams this year, but it's not the first time he's done it. ”
Who says fish and bear paws can't have both? Even though for most of his career, the Frenchman was suppressed by the Big Three, and even had a hard time winning in front of Nadal, it still did not hinder his appreciation of the Big Three.
"Some people may like Federer, not Djokovic or Nadal, and some people may be the opposite. But here I am not a problem at all. For them, I appreciate them all. This is not contradictory at all.
In other areas of sports, I like Messi and Neymar, even if Argentina and The Brazilian football team are feuds. Because in their games I can see the beauty of sports, just like Federer. There is no doubt that the three of them are the best three players in history.
Whether Gasquet's view can be affirmed by fans is debatable, after all, his criteria for judging are not the same as those known to the public.
But in any case, there is no authoritative organization to set the criteria for these judgments, so the comments surrounding Federer, Nadal and Djokovic who are the best in history will continue for at least some time.
Especially this year and next year, if Djokovic can win the US Open, he will undoubtedly occupy the best position. But what about Nadal regaining the French Open again next year? Federer with its super popularity, is not completely without opportunities!
The number of Grand Slams, the number of weeks in the world, the number of Olympic gold medals, the number of Masters titles, etc., these are just cold numbers. Only memories and touching will remain in people's hearts for a long time, which is eternal! (Source: Tennis House Author: Luo ChengQiye)
