After another win at Wimbledon last Sunday, Novak Djokovic has further boosted his chances of breaking all records late in his career. In fact, the world No. 1 has already equaled Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal’s 20 Grand Slams, as well as having spent more weeks than anyone at the top of the ATP rankings.
It seems that there are no limits for the Belgrade champion, especially in a period of great difficulty for the Swiss and the Spanish. If he won the US Open in late August, the Serbian veteran would make it to the ‘Calendar Grand Slam’ for the first time since Rod Laver.
Many believe that if Nole completed such a feat, there would be no more discussion about who is the greatest of all time. Roger is unlikely to be able to increase his showcase to nearly 40 years, while Rafa’s worn physique does not leave much room for optimism.
During a long interview with ‘L’Equipe’, Richard Gasquet confided that he does not give too much importance to the number of Majors won when deciding who is the best of all time.
Richard Gasquet has no doubts about the GOAT
“I see tennis differently, I have said several times that for me it is not only the number of Grand Slams that counts,” reiterated the Frenchman.
“You don’t have to give importance only to the records, I also look at the style and emotions that a player transmits to me from outside. As for me, Roger Federer is absolutely unique.
I think he is the best of any era because of his style and the grace that comes from playing, “he continued. Gasquet congratulated Novak Djokovic: “Obviously we are talking about an extraordinary tennis player.
Winning three Grand Slams in a row is crazy. I don’t like fan wars, some like Roger and they hate Nole. It is not my case, I also love Djokovic. Except that Federer always manages to surprise me, like Messi and Neymar in football. They are those athletes who make you live unrepeatable experiences, “said Richard.
