Novak Djokovic’s French Open triumph, which made him only the third man to win all four majors twice and took him halfway to a rare calendar Grand Slam, has reignited the debate over who is the greatest male player of all time.
“We have to start talking about the greatest of all time,” former world number one Mats Wilander told Eurosport. He also has a record nine Australian Opens, five at Wimbledon and three US Opens and has won six of the last seven Slams he has contested.Djokovic is a year younger than Nadal and has the best part of six years on Federer.
“As much as Novak is healthy, and he’s healthy right now, he’s in great shape, I think he has the ability to win the Grand Slam for this year. I’m pretty sure,” added longtime coach Marian Vajda.His victory on Sunday meant Djokovic, who was also two sets down to Lorenzo Musetti in the last 16, was only the third man to win a Slam title after twice coming back from such a deficit.
He has spent more time as world number one than his two main rivals with his 325th week at the top starting Monday.Sunday’s win took him to the brink of $150 million.In head-to-heads, he has the advantage. His epic win over Nadal on Friday too him to 30-28 over the Spanish star while he is 27-23 against Federer.His career total of 84 titles is behind Nadal’s 88 and Federer’s 103. He still has some way to go to beat Jimmy Connors’ all-time record of 109.
