Goran Ivanisevic Explains Why He Considers Novak Djokovic the Best of the “Big Three”

Goran Ivanisevic, Novak Djokovic`s former coach, shared his thoughts on the debate about the greatest tennis player of all time in a podcast with football coach Slaven Bilic. Ivanisevic believes that Djokovic is superior to Roger Federer of Switzerland and Rafael Nadal of Spain.

“These three are the greatest players in history. Federer played the most beautiful tennis. Even when he wasn`t playing well, his matches were enjoyable to watch.”

“Rafa is a fighter. Nadal fought until complete exhaustion. He gave everything he had on the court, winning Roland Garros 14 times, which will never happen again. But Djokovic is the most complete of them and the best in history,” said Ivanisevic.
