Swiss tennis legend, Roger Federer, has been named the greatest tennis player of all time (GOAT) after winning his 18th major tennis title in Australia. Federer defeated long time rival, Rafael Nadal in the final set 6-4, 3-6, 6-1, 3-6, 6-3 to lift yet another Australian Open and add to his long list of grand slam majors.

Thus, tennis lovers and followers believe there is no more controversy at to who the greatest tennis player of all time is after the one-time French Open winner sealed an emphatic win over Nadal as a 35-year-old having won his first major 14 years ago.

Here are their thoughts on Federer’s achievements:
