00:00 We're going to talk a bit about Novak, who's going to aim for a 25th title in the Grand Slam.

00:03 Would you say he's the best player of all time in the debate?

00:07 It's always the same, there's always this question.

00:11 Yes, statistically, yes.

00:13 But then again, he's the player who has the most wins,

00:18 who must have all the records, but not just Grand Slam.

00:21 Because we've talked a lot about the Grand Slam,

00:23 and there are the Grand Slam, there are the Weeks of Mirroins,

00:26 there are the number of seasons, I've won all the Grand Slam twice, etc.

00:29 There are many, many that are very important.

00:31 But then again, the greatest player of all time,

00:34 yes, statistically, it's him.

00:36 But in terms of playing, there are more people who have liked to see Federer or Nadal play,
