The 25-year-old spoke on this and stated, “I would need to go with Djokovic, Nadal, or Federer. Arguably the three greatest players of all time. It has been exciting to be played simultaneously as all three, but also slightly annoying (joking) as I’d probably have a few more trophies at home.”

The greatness of the Swiss maestro, the Spanish ace, and the Serbian machine has been unmatched by any player that has ever played this sport.
