On Ep. 3, Joel, Amy and Gill discuss the GOAT debate, which has dominated men’s tennis discourse for the better part of a decade. It is the most obvious way to discuss Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic’s greatness, but should we really be asking who the greatest player of all-time is? The Big 3 aren’t done playing yet- but will finality bring any clarity to what is already an extremely complex question. What role does the grand slam race play? Is it fair to compare eras at all? The questions are endless, which brings us to the original question. Should we be asking about GOATS?

Three is a show about Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic. These competitively dominant tennis icons have been a lifeline to millions of fans around the world. We look to tell their stories through discussions of tennis history, tactics, psychology, technique and more.
