Boris Becker thinks Roger Federer's legacy is untouchable even with Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic both eclipsing his number of grand slams.
The GOAT debate will seemingly never end in tennis because it's so polarizing. It's not something Boris Becker concerns himself too much with but he's certain that the legacy of Roger Federer is untouchable even if he trails in the record books.
Maybe the sports ambassador, not just tennis ambassador. The world hasn't seen anything like that yet. You can take footballers and basketball players and track and field athletes. This total package Roger Federer - and then he also grew up in neutral Switzerland.
His impact on tennis has been legendary as he basically revived the sport and made it a global phenomenon. Without Federer, there is no modern tennis in the way we know it and that's a legacy that nobody can dispute.
With Roger, everything is so perfect, almost too good to be true. That will never happen again in tennis and that is also why tennis has become such a global sport. Good luck to the guys who want to take over.
