Novak Djokovic’s statement came on being called great, said- saying so would be an insult to the legendary players of every era
Paris. Novak Djokovic, after becoming the male player to win the most Grand Slam titles in the history of tennis, said that playing conditions have been different in every era and there have been great players in every era. Djokovic on Sunday overtook 22-time Grand Slam champion Rafael Nadal after defeating Casper Ruud in the French Open final. After this title victory of Djokovic, the debate about the greatest male tennis player has started once again.
Djokovic’s rival Roger Federer retired after winning 20 Grand Slam titles, while Nadal, who won 22 titles, is recovering from injury. Many fans consider Federer to be the greatest player, while Nadal also has a huge fan following all over the world. Djokovic has won every Masters 1000-level event at least twice, in addition to having more Grand Slam titles than Federer and Nadal. Djokovic has topped the ATP rankings for the longest time.
After becoming the French Open champion, he has again reached the top of the rankings. After the win, Djokovic was asked what it was like to be the greatest male player in history, and he answered at length, saying, “I don’t want to say I’m the greatest.” I have said before that this kind of statement is disrespectful to all the great champions in different eras of our sport. His way of playing tennis was very different from today. Djokovic arrived at this press conference wearing a red t-shirt with the number 23 written on it. This was pointing towards his 23rd Grand Slam title. He went on to say, “I think every great champion of their generation has left a huge mark on the sport. He is like a legacy, which inspired us to play at such a big level. “The 36-year-old Serbian player said,” I leave such discussions to others. Of course, I have a lot of faith in myself that I can do. This trophy clearly shows the level of my great game in tennis. Djokovic was not asked here about his future plans but he himself said, “My journey is not over yet.” I still feel motivated to play the best tennis in these tournaments, Grand Slams. I am ready
