Roger Federer is not even the second greatest player- Pat cash

Patrick Hart Cash who is a retired Australian professional tennis player. He reached a career-high ATP singles ranking of world No. 4 in May 1988 and a career-high ATP doubles ranking of world No. 6 in August 1988.

A major part of the world chants Roger Federer is the GOAT, as the Swiss legend owns the biggest fanbase in the sport.

Pat Cash explained Federer being behind his arch-rivals Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal. Firstly, considering the head-to-head statistics against the Serbian and Spanish warriors, the Swiss is one the back foot in this domain.

“Everybody says Federer is the greatest player of all time, but, he’s not even the second greatest player of all time. That’s hard to believe. Like, if you are the best of all time, you should at least have a head-to-head record against your number one rival or number two rival. Surely, that would be the very first factor, I would say,” Pat Cash told UBI Tennis.

Roger has won 40 percent of his battles against Rafa and against Novak he has wrapped up 23 matches out of the 50 times they have locked horns. Hence, objectively having an inferior head-to-head.

He highlights Federer is not comfortable with certain surfaces, like slow indoors and his tennis is more of an ‘old-school’ form of play.

“He has developed a more attacking game. And slow surfaces and heavy balls really don’t suit him. It’s phenomenal for that record he has but, Djokovic has the best record of them all and is closing in.”

When Roger Federer started winning Grand Slams and he was on the path of dominance, at that time, Djokovic was maturing on the professional tennis tour.

The Swiss conquered his first 12 Grand Slam titles even before Djokovic won his first Slam.

Arsenal: William Saliba already two step ahead of Mavropanos

Everyone can’t wait to see what William Saliba can be at Arsenal and, on the bright side, he’s already ahead of Konstantinos Mavropanos. Arsenal ‘s defense is going to look so damn good next season it’s gonna be mental. I know I gush about it a lot, but Mikel Arteta has worked literal magic in turning David Luiz and Shkodran Mustafi into a defense that doesn’t give up a crapton of goals per match. In fact, they give up less than a goal a game. Combined. Two of the biggest defensive “clowns” out there. United in sturdiness. Next season, we’ll be starting with fresh faces and the same defensive philosophy that Arteta has already used to rejuvenate a dead defense. Namely, William Saliba, who has joined the club from Saint-Etienne and is looking to get his footing in the starting XI. Saliba can be what Arsenal wanted Mavropanos to be Saliba isn’t the first young defender ticketed for big things, however. It was just a few years back that Konstantinos Mavropanos made ...

Arsenal fans go crazy over Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang contract talks

Striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been offered a contract extension by Arsenal, according to a report by French publication L'Equipe . The Gabon international, who sealed a move to the Emirates Stadium from Borussia Dortmund back in January 2018, is out-of-contract in North London at the end of the 2020/21 campaign, with speculation mounting about his future. It is no secret that the Gunners are desperate to retain Aubameyang's services, as he has proven to be their star man over the past couple of years, particularly this season, as he has notched 20 goals in 32 appearances across all competitions. But with Arsenal still some way off from competing for the Premier League title and showing no signs of gaining qualification for the Champions League anytime soon, the striker, who turns 31 later this month, could be open to a move elsewhere. Should the striker fail to put pen to paper on a new deal before he enters the final six months of his current contract he could leav...
