Novak Djokovic Aptly Compares Roger Federer’s Elegance and Rafael Nadal’s Personality to Musical Instruments

Novak Djokovic is one of the best tennis players of all time, along with Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. The 20-time Grand Slam champion is in an elite league. Although with the conclusion of the French Open yesterday, Rafael Nadal has moved two steps forward with 22 major titles to his name, there’s no denying that the trio is in a different league.

Despite their rivalry on-court, they certainly share a comaraderie off the court. On many occasions, we have seen them support and congratulate each other. Recently, Novak Djokovic was asked in an interview to compare the ‘Big Three’ with different musical instruments. The Serb’s response was perfect in every way.

The ‘Big Three’ as musical instruments

Along with incredible ability, Novak Djokovic is also known for his witty responses and sense of humor. In a funny question, he was asked to compare ‘The Big 3’ with different musical instruments. The world number 1 said that Roger Federer is like a violin, while Nadal is like an electric guitar or drums and finally compared himself to a saxophone.

He said, “Roger Federer is a violin. I don’t think anyone has anything to say about it. As for Rafael Nadal, I would associate it with an electric guitar or drums. I am a saxophone because it is an instrument that goes well with any type of music.”

Djokovic did well to reach the quarterfinals of the French Open 2022, where he lost to the eventual champion, Rafael Nadal.

Novak Djokovic and his 2022 season

The year 2022 has not been very good for the Serb. As for much of the earlier part of the year, his participation in various tournaments was uncertain. As the world number 1 openly declared to remain unvaccinated for covid-19, he missed out on tournaments held in the USA, along with his chance to defend the Australian Open title.

However, with the start of the European clay season, Djokovic was back on the court. He did well to grab another ATP 1000 title in Rome before entering Roland Garros. Unfortunately for the Serb, he did not move past the quarterfinal as his arch-rival, Rafael Nadal, eliminated him in four sets.
