Tennis legend Bjorn Borg is one of the greatest contributors to the sport who has one way or the other always been associated with the sport even after his retirement.
He is one of the main pillars behind the organization of the Laver Cup, where all the top players from Europe and the world collide against each other. Borg gave his take on the ‘Big-3‘ debate in an interview recently with Eurosport.

Borg feels that Novak Djokovic is on another level compared to his longtime competitors and rivals, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer. Federer, having already retired and Nadal on the verge of retirement with the Spaniard past his glory days, has predicted that Rafael Nadal will soon retire but believes that fellow veteran Novak Djokovic will make the cut and still has two or three more Grand Slam singles titles to win.
Borg feels that Djokovic is not at all interested in personal landmarks but wants to keep on going just because of the urge of the masses.
Novak [Djokovic], I think he might win one or two more Grand Slam tournaments. Who knows? But he is doing it not for himself but for tennis and journalists. Unbelievable. He's still pushing the limits. He wants to be the greatest.Bjorn Borg said via Eurosports
Novak Djokovic’s future according to Bjorn Borg
Bjorn Borg also talked about the mentality of Djokovic, saying that the Serb’s dream is to establish as many landmarks as possible in the sport. Borg feels that the records keep pushing him to the utmost limits.

Borg further added:
He wants to win more tournaments, break all the records in tennis history. I mean, he is a fantastic player. But to have these guys involved with tennis, you never know what Rafa is going to do, maybe play one more year. I don't know. It is up to him mentally or his body or whatever. But Novak is going to be around for a few more years.
He also drew a comparison between the current state of Nadal and Nole, saying that Rafa would be able to play another year hard while Novak would keep on going for years to come.
