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 ...

Darwin Nunez credits Marcelo Bielsa

Nunez was again named on the bench for the third successive match this season. But he has certainly given Jurgen Klopp food for thought with his performance as a second-half substitute. The 24-year-old came on in the 77th minute and equalised just four minutes later. The turnaround was complete in the third minute of stoppage time with another expert finish as Liverpool held out for a famous win. But Nunez has now revealed how recent conversations with his new international boss have helped. Bielsa was appointed Uruguay manager in May, 15 months after being sacked by Leeds. Nunez says the experienced boss has given him advice on aspects of his game that need improving. He told Sport 890 : "Bielsa showed me some things that seem positive to improve. I hope to meet him next week and do my best for the team." He added: "Some things he thinks are better. Like, when the opposing team is behind, not to run in front of the second centre-back: to run behind so that he...
