Andreeva exhibited her admiration for the Big 3 of tennis. Although she holds Federer and Nadal in high esteem, the Russian tennis player did not shy away from commending Djokovic’s playing style. She praised the Serbian’s superb court movement and acknowledged many other qualities that make him a powerful force on the court.
