“It’s possible and it makes sense for it to happen. Perhaps the illogic thing is that every year, we wonder how long they would continue to win everything. Rafa and Roger had injuries. Djokovic is still at a very high level and they are all legends who do their best and if they are physically well, they are still the best,” said Schwartzman in the interview.
