In fact, he went on and stated that Stefanos is a much more aggressive clay court player than even the great John McEnroe. 

The 56-year-old great revealed, “Tsitsipas is the most aggressive player I’ve seen on clay since the great McEnroe in 1984. His forehand is more aggressive than Nadal and Federer’s. He’s an incredible athlete, tough and fast. He has the best. circuit physics.”
