“It is not acceptable that Novak is always the bad guy and Roger and Rafa the good guys”

Triple tie at 20 Grand Slams. The year 2021 will close with Novak Djokovic, Rafa Nadal y Roger Federer ranked at the top of world tennis history and keeping alive the great debate of who is the greatest of all time.

Despite the fact that the Arthur Ashe public turned to the Serbian in the final of the last US Open, the truth is that both Spanish and Swiss seem to have more sympathy almost everywhere on the planet, something that Boris Becker does not like.

Both the public and the media have to get used to the fact that there are not two, but three who are great as tennis players and as people. It is not acceptable and even unfair that Novak is always the bad guy and Roger and Rafa are always the good guys. I hope that these two weeks in New York, the final and the subsequent speech as well as the reaction of the public make it finally be seen from a different perspective, “said the mythical former German player in a Eurosport Germany podcast.

The former coach of the Serbian between 2014 and 2016 was surprised by his reaction in the final against Medvedev. “I’ve never seen Novak cry on the tennis court. You really must have reached your emotional limit. It was too much. He had to represent his country, but he is a human being and cannot win everything all the time, take the pressure and stay in shape.“explained Becker, who already sees the coming cycle change in tennis.

“Obviously, Novak will continue to play an important role next year and I also want Rafa to return and Roger to recover, although there are a large number of young players who are doing well. There are guys like Alcaraz, Rune, Sinner, Auger Aliassime plus middle-aged ones like Zverev, Tsitsipas and Medvedev. We have been talking about Federer, Nadal and Djokovic for 15 years because they just won it all. Now we have to get used to talking about the other generation, who bring everything that the tennis fan wants“concluded the German.
