That the anointed GOAT will NEVER be dethroned?
EVEN if someone gets to say 21 or 22 Slams - given the pathetic state of tennis after these three - 'the emergence through the 'top four (three?)' considered the best tennis has ever produced' - will stand as an impossible hurdle to overcome to pass them.
Who was the GOAT before Jordan? Magic? Heck, Jordan is lucky he has not been upstaged already. Had Kobe and Shaq stayed together, Jordan would have been dethroned - even after factoring in the 'duo' factor because two would have blown past six rings thereby passing the tipping point for the final decision.
Heck, he dodged the sandal with LeBron too.
Isn't Nicklaus lucky too?
Point?
Most (all?) current GOATs @ other sports are susceptible, right? Other than Ali, of course.
Whoever comes through the current tennis race will NOT be?
Think that elevates the degree of urgency - a little bit - thereby forcing the three to engage the 'do or die' mode? Federer's shameless point grab for Wimbledon part of the same BS? It's possible.
