You messed up big time, GQ.

Tennis star Roger Federer is currently gracing the cover of GQ Magazine's 2017 Style Bible in which he posed for pictures and was interviewed about what comes next in his impressive career. The magazine promoted the issue on Twitter with several tweets including one where they wrote about catching up with "the greatest tennis player of all time."

The internet was quick to question Federer's claim to the title citing that the magazine must have forgotten the existence of Serena Williams.

Don't worry, Serena, we all know who the true greatest player is.

Maybe GQ will figure it out one day.

UPDATE: Looks like the Fader has figured out who the true GOAT is.
