“Novak won the most Grand Slams with Roger and Rafa. He was number one in the world for most weeks and finished most years as number one, Novak has won most of the Masters titles and much more,” said Zverev, explaining his decision .
One can simply “not always speak against the numbers and claim that Roger or Rafa are better because we are all fans of them from an early age,” said the Olympic champion from Tokyo.
“Sometimes you have to look at things realistically and Novak’s records are simply a fact,” explained Zverev.
