It must be said that the native of Belgrade has, and continues, to make a considerable mark on his sport. He can notably boast of being the most successful player in history in Grand Slamwith 24 majors won.

Roddick votes Djokovic for GOAT
Dans son podcast Served with Andy Roddick, Andy Roddick gave his opinion on the debate GOAT. For the former American player, there is no debate possible, the greatest is Novak Djokovic. “What makes this GOAT thing so weird is that we never really have anything definitive. The Jordan/LeBron debate (in basketball) is: OK LeBron won less, but he played this, etc. There are other factors that come into play and it’s like this conversation in tennis, It’s largely like math doesn’t care about your feelings. They don’t care about your vaccination status. You line up the three CVs (Federer, Nadal and Djokovic), if you choose any of them except this one from Novak, you are crazy. Quite simply, that’s how it is. Everything else is just a matter of preference for what you like to watch. If you like the ballet and art of Roger or if you prefer the brutal force of Rafa. »
