This is ridiculous! Thank you so much, TP.
I have thousands of favorite songs, but favorite athletes, only a few. In no particular order:
Roger Federer

And why do we have this GOAT debate?

Seeing it laid out like this, I’d have to ask the same.

The figures speak for themselves, don’t they?

I like this one the best. “Federer also holds the record of reaching 10 consecutive Grand Slam finals and has appeared in 17 of the last 18.” I hope he makes 4 more next year.

Thanks, TP, Federer is the definitely the best. I wonder these are also records: 1. having a girlfriend while being number 1 (I know some top players didn’t quite have a stable relationship). 2. return to number ranking with the addition of twin girls. If these count as records, they are better than some slams, right?

TP, I think it should be referenced that your stats are purely in relation to the “Open Era” of men’s tennis, as any cluey person would be aware there are six folks in men’s tennis that have achieved the career slam. In the Open era, it is the names that you state.
For the curious folk, the other three gents who achieved all four majors were:
Don Budge – 1938 (first male with a calendar year slam)
Fred Perry – 1933, 34, 35
Roy Emerson – 1961, 63, 64
