Roger, Rafa and Novak's GOAT race: Who will win the fight?

Daily Mail  

Novak Djokovic's Australian Open semi-final win was not just another victory over Roger Federer at a Grand Slam. Rafael Nadal is currently on 19 Grand Slams, Djokovic is on 16 while Federer leads way with 20 But since 2012 Federer has won just four Grand Slams with his last major win coming in 2018 at the Australian Open. The Swiss did not win a Grand Slam between 2013 and 2016 and in that time Nadal moved to within three majors of Federer while Djokovic took his tally up to 12. A graph which shows the ongoing race between the trio and how it's developed over the years Djokovic could move onto 17 Grand Slam wins on Sunday while Nadal is currently odds-on favourite to claim the French Open in the summer, which would equal Federer's record.
