Former World No 1 Novak Djokovic is undoubtedly one of the best players the sport has ever seen and has inspired millions with his grit, determination, and resilience on the court. Despite facing several challenges and issues at the very beginning of 2022, he has always fought back brilliantly and managed to stay in his best form.
With that being said, former tennis legend Ana Ivanovic recently discussed the iconic rivalry between the Big 3, blatantly declaring Novak Djokovic’s superiority over Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. As per the tennis star herself, Novak is currently the best player in tennis history, as he has been at the top of the game for a very long time now.
For those uninitiated, the Serbian legend missed several tournaments because of his unvaccinated status against the COVID-19 virus, especially the Australian Open and all the tournaments in the North American swing, including the US Open. Despite making a late start to the year, he remained dominant by winning his 7th Wimbledon title. He even performed seamlessly by reaching three back-to-back finals in Tel Aviv, Astana, and the 2022 Paris Masters and won two finals.
The GOAT debate has been the most sought topic, with various people chiming in with different opinions. But the major debate has been between the three names that have been dominating tennis for decades at this point- Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and the Serb. Ivanovic is the latest to comment on this and picks the 2022 Wimbledon champion as the best player over the retired Swiss maestro and the Spaniard legend.
The onetime Grand Slam champion appreciated her compatriot for being consistent with his performances and remaining at the top of his game for the maximum time possible. Ivanovic said, “Novak is definitely the best player in tennis history. The most fascinating thing about him is how long he is at top of the game. Both Roger and Rafa had ups and downs but Nole always stayed at the top,“
Novak Djokovic finds himself drawn into the toughest group at the 2022 ATP Finals
The Year-end Championship in Turin is the last tournament of the ATP tour, where the top-8 players aim to end the year on a perfect note. Djokovic got qualified for the tournament on the special rule that allows a player ranked between 8th to 20th to get qualified based on the Grand Slam title win despite being out of the Top 8.
The Wimbledon champion will be aiming for his sixth title at the ATP Finals to end on a pleasant note and gain some much-needed points in order to better his rankings. He lands in the toughest draw- the Red Group along with Daniil Medvedev, Stefanos Tsitsipas the team leader, and Andrey Rublev. This group can also be termed as the group of death, given the ruthlessness of these 4 players on indoor hard courts.
