Novak Djokovic has been the talk of the town in tennis for a better part of the year. With his US Open triumph, the Serbinator has received some of the highest level of praise from experts across the globe. While focusing on the experts, Andy Roddick was present at the Arthur Ashe Stadium when the world No.1 reigned supreme.

The organizers invited the American to honor Djokovic with the Grand Slam trophy. However, certain tennis fans accused Roddick of being grumpy during the trophy event. Facing some serious accusations, Roddick now comes up with a staggering take on Djokovic. But what does Roddick say about Djokovic?

Andy Roddick’s strong opinion on Novak Djokovic

The Serb is now widely recognized as the greatest tennis player of all time. Sitting on 24 Grand Slam titles, he has extended the lead over long-term rival Rafael Nadal in the race. With Djokovic refusing to slow down, it looks pretty clear that he is likely to run away with the Slam race. Taking all of it into context, Roddick has put the 24-time major champion on a pedestal.

Roddick said, “The dominance of Novak and the way that he’s able to win this consistently is just absurd. It’s an impossibility to make a statistical argument against him being the best ever. It’s like proving gravity at this point. He’s now tied Margaret Court on 24 Slams but he wants all of the records, so he’ll want to get to 25.” However, Roddick did not just stop here.
