Is Djoker the GOAT or even one of the GOATS? Twitterati debate the big question
World No 1. and French Open champion Novak Djokovic has finally entered the GOAT field.
What is a GOAT? It is being 'THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME'.
With the 2016 French Open in his pocket, 'The Djoker' has now achieved his 'Career Slam'. He now holds the honour of having won all four major Slams in a row, an achievement that neither Roger Federer or Nadal has ever accomplished.
Djokovic is also the second men's singles tennis player after Rod Laver to win a 'Career Slam' in history.

Djokovic now has 12 Grand Slam titles -- - 6 Australian Open titles, 1 French Open title, 3 Wimbledon and 2 US Open titles -- and is only 29 years old. He has also won the Davis Cup in 2010. With age on his side, Djokovic is surely a candidate for the 'Greatest of All Time' list.
