Roger Federer is the best for everything he stands for and what he has given the sport - Sue Barker gives her take on the GOAT debate

Sue Barker picks her GOAT from the Big 3 Sue Barker, the former Wimbledon and BBC presenter, has picked as her GOAT over and . In a recent with the Daily Express, she explained the impact of the Big 3 on the sport and mentioned that tennis has been blessed to witness them in the same generation. She also gave her reasoning behind picking the Swiss maestro over his two esteemed rivals. "I look at the way they play and Roger Federer made the game look so easy. Also, the role model he was to kids and his popularity around the world is second to none. He has been voted the most popular player for 20 years in a row. We were so lucky to have him playing until he was 40 and for me, I would still say at the moment that Roger is the best for everything he stands for and what he has given the sport," she said. Barker picked Djokovic to get the all-time Grand Slam record and called Nadal's record at Roland Garros 'incredible'. “Djokovic might well end up with the most Grand Slam titles and what Nadal has achieved at the French Open with his 14 titles is just incredible. “We have been blessed to watch this incredible era of the sport and all three of these great players will be remembered as greats of the game,” she said.
