It is no secret that Novak Djokovic is one of the top picks of all the tennis stars and one who loves the sport would never dare to doubt the brilliance of the great man. Australian tennis star Nick Kyrgios has previously in the past always talked about the greatness of the Serbian rating him arguably as the greatest player to have played the sport.
On Friday, the Australian walked down a room with posters of some of the greats. The very first picture that Nick came across was that of Djokovic and as he started speaking in awe of the Serbian, he claimed him as the ‘Undisputed Goat’. He also took a small dig at the Wimbledon final that he lost against Djokovic saying that it would been nice of Djokovic to have let him win.
As he moved forward down the hallway, he also came across a picture of another legend of the sport, Roger Federer. He regarded Federer as the king stating that every single young kid who picks up a racquet are either inspired by him or drawn into the sport by him. He added,
"He is the guy that you would play in every tennis virtual game at the end in the white vest that you could never beat on hard. He's the reason why every single tennis player picks up the racket."
