The last two decades of tennis were marked by three of the best of all time. It would be unfair to place only the three of them, because in this sport they experienced glories such as Rod Laver, John McEnroe, Jimmy Connors, Guillermo Vilas o Pete Samprasto mention only a few of those who made history.
But there is no doubt that in that Olympus of the greats, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic already have their places saved. The Swiss emerged first, then the Spanish and the Serbian appeared and, for years and years, they were true battles of great tennis. There was a time when Federer couldn’t be beaten at Wimbledon, Nadal at Roland Garros and Djokovic in Australia.
Each one with their own style left a mark and the big question that usually appears in the debates is who was the best of the three. Answering it is not easy and that is where the subjective aspect appears. Statistics show that Djokovic has 24 grand slams, Nadal 22 and Federer 20.
Juan Martín De Potro, who knew how to win an epic final against Federer at the 2009 US Open, spoke with Infobae and said in this regard: “I think each one had their moment and their surface. Until 2009, Federer was unbeatable and Nadal was the best on clay, but It is true that Djokovic is the one who has won the most Grand Slams. The discussion ends with one more Grand Slam for him”.

Is it fair to measure greatness by numbers alone?
Without a doubt, to evaluate the best, statistics must be taken into account; it is a concrete indicator of success, a key factor for those who aspire to be the best in the world in their sport. Now, tennis is not mathematics and the technical, the aesthetic and, above all, what each player was able to transmit also comes into play. Taking those factors into account, Roger Federer would deserve to be considered the greatest of all time: his aesthetic is truly unmatched and fans around the world love him. But as a good subjective discussion, each one will choose the best of all time.

What is the present of Juan Martín Del Potro?
“I’m kind of letting life surprise me a little bit, too, right? I try to do things and I do a lot of things. I ended up in a paddle tennis project, now I go with the juniors, I do this type of presentation activities for brands and talks. On the other hand, Many players call me to help them a little with the serve or ask me to guide them in one thing or need different collaborations in others. And so I go, among other projects that I have. But letting things flow too. And, since today I have time for a lot of those things, luckily, then I try to take advantage of it,” said the 2009 US Open champion.
