The rivalry between the current world number one Novak Djokovic and the Swiss champion Roger Federer is without a doubt one of the greatest rivalries in the history of tennis and probably in the world of sport. The Serbian champion has had a great run against the Swiss and has already equaled or exceeded the records of the Swiss legend.
It is almost an eternal fight that we see between the fans of the two champions and we often discuss who is the best of all time, together with Rafael Nadal of course. The Big Three are the strongest tennis players of all time and this discussion is on the daily order.
We are talking about years ago, of course, but there was a moment when Novak Djokovic said that he considered Roger Federer to be the best tennis player in history. After beating Argentine Guillermo Canas in 2007, Nole focused on Canas’ record of some positive wins over Roger Federer and at the end of a match between the two made the following statements: “Against Guillermo I played a good game, I did my best. and I won the race in two sets.
Federer? I can’t give you advice on how to beat Guillermo Canas, that wouldn’t be right. He is the number one in the world and the best tennis player of all time, he goes through some bad moments and Roger has had them in the challenges of Indian Wells and Miami precisely against Canas.
Currently Novak Djokovic is number one in the world and in a sense the roles seem reversed since there are many, both among professionals and among the fans, to consider the Serbian champion as the best in history.
Novak Djokovic is in pursuit of Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal’s record for Grand Slam titles with the Serbian chasing 18 and the top two leading this record with 20 Grand Slam titles.
Both at this Roland Garros and at Wimbledon and at the Us Open Novak Djokovic is among the favorites and his goal is to reach the other two players by the end of the year.
Roger Federer recently appeared in an interview for GQ magazine, where he spoke extensively on various topics, including retirement and his future ambitions.
Federer also shed light on some of his childhood fantasies, revealing that he once wished for his hair to be dyed red. “I don’t know, I’m really relaxed about where my career is, where my life is,” Roger Federer said.
“And I know that this [momento] it’s one last great, great opportunity for me to do something great. I mean, it’s always like this when you’ve accomplished as much as I have. “Roger Federer, who has 103 career titles, further emphasized that he is desperate to add to his trophy collection despite being at the end of his career.
“I want to win more, otherwise I wouldn’t have gone through all the [último] year of surgeries and the process of being on crutches for five weeks and rehab, “said Federer.
“I really think I can do it again. [Pero] first I have to prove to myself that the body can take it. The mind is ready to go ”
