Serena Williams’ childhood coach Rick Macci suggests Novak Djokovic becoming the greatest of all time while competing in the same era with Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal is the most impressive part of the Serb’s success.
When Djokovic showed up on the tennis scene, Federer was widely regarded as the best player in the game and Nadal was already a Grand Slam champion. During that period, Federer was widely tipped to achieve the biggest success in tennis history and many also believed that Nadal would come close to the Swiss.
But after becoming a Grand Slam champion at the 2008 Australian Open, Djokovic went on to form the Big Three with Federer and Nadal and ultimately achieve the biggest success in tennis history. Today, Djokovic is a record 24-time Grand Slam champion and also owns the record for the most weeks spent at the world No. 1 spot.
“What I love most about the Serbian Sniper is he became the GOAT with FED and Rafa with him in the same Boat. @DjokerNole,” Macci wrote on X.
