I'm a die-hard Federer homer, so it brings me no joy to say this, but sometime between right now and in 10 years, it's going to be boring conventional wisdom that Novak Djokovic is the GOAT.
The last decade is the so-called age of the Big Three in tennis. But here's weeks ranked #1 since 2010:
Djokovic: 324
Nadal: 163
Federer: 48
Djokovic: 324
Nadal: 163
Federer: 48
No doubt Fed absolutely crushed the 2000s, and it's a shame his prime didn't overlap more perfectly with Nadal and Djokovic so we could do a real apples-to-apples, peak-to-peak comparison. 
The Novak haters aren't being realistic about the math here.
The major record is 20. Novak's at 18. He's the favorite on Sunday, for 19. He hasn't lost in Australia or Wimbledon since 2017. And he's the youngest of the big three. What outcome are you expecting here?
