Novak Djokovic managed to win 17 Grand Slam tournaments, 34 Masters 1000 and 5 ATP Finals in the era inevitably marked by two tennis legends such as Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal.
Speaking on Tennis Channel, Andy Roddick analyzed the GOAT debate: "Right now for me, it is Roger and Serena," A-Rod said.
"[But] if Novak somehow gets to the point where he is tied for the all-time slams record with Rafa and Roger then it becomes very important on the head-to-head and Masters titles.
The fact that Novak, against basically everyone in the world, that he's played more than a couple times has a winning record and against all people in this conversation also is insane.
To have a winning head-to-head record against Roger, Rafa, [Andy] Murray - if Novak is tied on total Slams at the end, it is going to be really tough to argue against his resume."
[The] Novak Djokovic Foundation team is working like a well-oiled machine and we are ready to help" - the World number 1 said.
