00:00 We're going to talk a bit about Novak, who's going to aim for a 25th title in the Grand Slam.
00:03 Would you say he's the best player of all time in the debate?
00:07 It's always the same, there's always this question.
00:11 Yes, statistically, yes.
00:13 But then again, he's the player who has the most wins,
00:18 who must have all the records, but not just Grand Slam.
00:21 Because we've talked a lot about the Grand Slam,
00:23 and there are the Grand Slam, there are the Weeks of Mirroins,
00:26 there are the number of seasons, I've won all the Grand Slam twice, etc.
00:29 There are many, many that are very important.
00:31 But then again, the greatest player of all time,
00:34 yes, statistically, it's him.
00:36 But in terms of playing, there are more people who have liked to see Federer or Nadal play,
00:40 and that's very personal, and we won't take it away from anyone either,
00:43 because they brought so much to the sport,
00:47 and before Novak, in the end, because especially Federer came first,
00:50 and then the rivalry with Rafa, who is legendary, etc.
00:54 And Novak comes above that.
00:56 So, the story was beautiful at all levels.
00:59 In statistics, it's him.
