Snooker legend Ronnie O'Sullivan gave his two cents on the GOAT debate in a recent interview

Snooker legend Ronnie O'Sullivan gave his two cents on who he thinks the GOAT is in an interview with Telegraf. He believes Novak Djokovic is the best ever and will end up with the most Grand Slams.

Novak Djokovic, along with Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, has been part of an intense debate among tennis fans and pundits over who the greatest player of all time is.

Ronnie O'Sullivan waged his bet on Djokovic, saying that he thinks the Serb will win the most Grand Slams. Currently, Rafael Nadal has 21 Grand Slams to his name while Roger Federer and Djokovic are tied at 20. Djokovic was gunning for his 21st slam in the US Open last year but lost to Daniil Medvedev in straight sets in the final.

"You have to admire Djokovic. He is the best player of all time and will win the most Grand Slams in the history of tennis. There are also Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, the three of them are a sporting phenomenon. If we compare Novak and myself, we have different styles of play, I am more like Federer. Roger has self-confidence, but Novak is more of a mixture of styles and he has it all in him."

Ronnie O'Sullivan is widely considered the greatest snooker player of all time, having amassed 38 ranking trophies in his illustrious career. He has been crowned the world champion on six different occasions and has been ranked World No. 1 multiple times.

Novak Djokovic is considered one of the most well-rounded players in the history of the game.Ronnie O'Sullivan compared Djokovic's style to that of Nadal and Federer's, and pointed out that the Serb has some of the best features of both of his rivals' games.

"Here you have Roger, Rafa's over there... Novak is in the middle, he has a part of Roger and he has a part of Rafa in him. He must be recognized as an amazing player with an incredible talent," O'Sullivan added.

O'Sullivan also pinpointed Novak Djokovic's transformation in terms of his diet. The Serb switched to a plant-based diet a few years ago, which has brought him incredible success.

"We always knew that he would be special, but when he started with the diets and when he raised the game to the next level, it was the right thing to do," he said.
