2023 wasn’t truly great for Novak Djokovic but his colleagues will say otherwise. This 24-time Grand Slam winner was defeated by Italian prodigy Jannik Sinner, but his colleagues are still calling the year Djokovic’s best as per his brilliant performance.

You may like Rafa more, you may like Roger’s style more, but in terms of numbers the best in history is Novak.” Undoubtedly Novak is one of the best tennis players of this era, but drawing comparisons with stalwarts like Federer or Nadal is an outstanding complement. Ferrero seals that with Novak’s achievements- “I’m not surprised by his Grand Slam success.”

Ferrero’s statement about Djokovic surprised fans more when he said how Novak lived for tennis and worked hard to achieve outstanding results at higher tennis tournaments. He mentioned how Djokovic is strict about rest and food so that he can be fit for the tournaments he appears in. Ferrerro mentioned the difficulties in balancing life with training and professionalism, where Djokovic showed remarkable input. In Ferrero’s words-“With Djokovic’s numbers there is no debate. You may like Rafa more, you may like Roger’s style more, but in terms of numbers the best in history is Novak.”
