Stefanos Tsitsipas gets all praise for Novak Djokovic despite being a Roger Federer fan

Roger Federer has made some historic moves in the history of tennis. But now that he is retired, Novak has had the chance to come to the top. People like him not only for his record-breaking numbers but also for his playing. And in that group of fans is now the newly added Stefanos. Even though originally, he has been a Roger fan, he might not also be simping over Novak’s zest on the court.

Owing to the same, he mentioned, “If we go by numbers, he is definitely the best. He keeps the thirst while he has nothing to prove. He’s always trying to prove something to someone. It’s like he wants revenge.”

Further, he also talked about one of the matches at the Cincinnati Open between Djokovic and Alcaraz, where there was very little chance for the former to win but he did.
