The debate about being the best of all time will not stop, there are many experts, former players, legends and tennis players who have analyzed the epic sporting battle that three legends such as Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic, who have rewritten the history of the game and amazed the entire world with their achievements.
The person who shared his analysis of the GOAT race was the Australian Nick Kyrgios, absent from Australian Open due to injury and who has been playing a new role as a commentator and analyst for the network Eurosport.
It was precisely there that the Canberra native spoke about what the “Big Three” have done and what they have achieved in the history of sport, elevating his “friend” Novak Djokovic.
Kyrgios without a doubt: Novak Djokovic is without a doubt the best of all time
“His forehand is very solid, and with his backhand he is capable of hitting all the shots, perhaps the best backhand that has ever been seen on a tennis court.
Additionally, his serve is also solid and he is the best returner of all time. His play at the net hasn’t always been lethal, but it’s been pretty good. He is also one of the players with the best mobility,” Nick Kyrgios began detailing about the current world number one.

The Canberra native not only praised the Serbian, he also had words of recognition for Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. “Novak is without a doubt the best of all time.
Roger Federer is the most beautiful thing to watch, he is the most talented, he makes the game look easy, he is like the Michael Jordan of tennis. Without Roger there would never be a Novak or a Nadal, someone to try to capture in statistics.
He is the most complete player, even on all surfaces, because Nadal is dominant on one surface, while Novak is dominant on all. I think the simple ability to put the ball where you want is very underrated.
It’s something I felt playing with him, because he could change direction with every shot he hit,” remarks the oceanic tennis player. Djokovic has assured that he will continue playing for a few more years, expanding his history and looking for the few records he lacks.
Regarding his future, Kyrgios put numbers on the table and highlighted two other great figures who battled with the legendary three in the best era of tennis. “I think he will win at least three or four more Grand Slam tournaments.
I suppose he will also win a couple more ATP 500 and Masters 1000. Sinner beat him a couple of times in the Davis Cup and then in the ATP Finals, but until he starts losing consecutive Slams with a couple of bad losses for me he will always He arrives at the tournaments as a favorite.
I think Margaret Court’s record is on her mind. He wants to be the most successful of all time, in fact even the gold medal is important to him. That’s the crazy thing about tennis, every time you step on the court you try to improve something and I think he just likes it, he likes the process.
That’s who he is and that’s why we admire them so much and that’s why I have so much respect for the big three and for Andy Murray and Stan Wawrinka, who are so old and still competing and trying to improve, which is inspiring. “They are obsessed,” Kyrgios concluded.
