<p>World No 1. and French Open champion Novak Djokovic has finally entered the GOAT field.</p>
<p>What is a <strong>GOAT</strong>? It is being <strong>'THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME'</strong>.&nbsp;</p>
<p>With the 2016 French Open in his pocket, 'The Djoker' has now&nbsp;achieved his 'Career Slam'. &nbsp;He now holds the honour of having won all four major Slams in a row, an achievement that neither Roger Federer or Nadal has ever accomplished.</p>
<p>Djokovic is also the second men's singles tennis player after Rod Laver to win a 'Career Slam' in history.</p>

<p>Djokovic now has 12 Grand Slam titles -- &ndash; 6 Australian Open titles, 1 French Open title, 3 Wimbledon and 2 US Open titles -- and is only 29 years old. He has also won the Davis Cup in 2010.&nbsp;With age on his side, Djokovic is surely a candidate for the 'Greatest of All Time' list.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Twitterati jumped into the debate with most supporting his inclusion, but a few contesting the claim.</p>
