Follow Us
The debate of who is the ‘greatest player of all time’ reaches another level with every major event. Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic are at the center of the debate, and every Grand Slam win for either of the three players makes it all the more interesting. And now, Daniil Medvedev has picked his side in this hotly debated issue.
With what Daniil Medvedev has to say, it seems like Roger Federer is set to bolster his tally by 1. The reason behind Medvedev’s allegiance can be found in the fact that Federer is the one to have won the most number of Grand Slam titles.
However, he admitted that his opinion is subject to change in the future.
