Former American tennis player Mardy Fish chooses Novak Djokovic as the grass court’s best-ever player. Novak Djokovic currently holds seven Wimbledon titles, with Roger Federer leading the chart with eight titles. Both players have by far been the best of the last two decades in the grass-court Major.
