The 62 year old Canadian Helene Pelletier, former tennis player and now a journalist, recently mentioned the name of the greatest player of all time, a question that is often sought for an answer today that is in a name below Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic.
She said: “I think it will always be Roger Federer for me because it makes tennis easy. It’s elegant. When we see him play, he transports us to another place. And we’ve seen him play well more often than badly !
I would say 95% of his games are a pleasure to watch because he makes us dream. “As reported by EssentiallySports, Pelletier also spoke great about Rafa:” I love Nadal because he is a good person.
He’s humble, he’s kind. When we did the pre-tournament interview in Montreal, he shook hands with all the technicians before leaving. There is nobody who can get close to something like that. “Speaking of Djokovic, the Canadian said:” He is fascinating in his own way.
But there are too many things he does that bother me deeply. He may even win 32 Grand Slam titles, but he will never be my choice for the greatest player of all time. “Nole, who failed to win the Olympic gold medal at the Tokyo Games, will try the Grand in a few days Reach Slam in New York.
The Toronto Masters 1000, which Nadal won in the last two editions, is about to start. Few players have helped make our sport as great as Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic, who for the past fifteen years have shared the dominance of world tennis by grinding record after record.
The oldest of the three, the Swiss Federer, turned 40 yesterday and, despite this milestone, still does not seem to have the intention to hang up his racket: in the last few weeks he reached the quarter-finals at Wimbledon before losing to Hubert Hurkacz in three sets .
