‘Difficult to Compare’ – A Week After Novak Djokovic’s US Open Victory, Serena Williams’ Ex-Coach Dishes Out the Ultimate Verdict on the GOAT Debate in Tennis

In sports, greatness is often measured by records, victories, and the legacy left behind. In tennis, like in any other sport, there’s an ongoing debate about who’s the greatest ever. But recently, Patrick Mouratoglou, who is known for working with Serena Williams, made a strong statement. He believes that Novak Djokovic has now earned the title of the greatest tennis player ever. But what were the reasons behind his decision?

The declaration comes on the heels of Djokovic’s remarkable 24th Grand Slam victory at the 2023 US Open, where he displayed both mental fortitude and tactical brilliance to clinch the title.

Novak Djokovic’s has earned the right to be considered the greatest, according to Mouratoglou

Mouratoglou emphasized Djokovic’s unprecedented accomplishments, making a compelling case for his status as the finest tennis player in history. This year, despite facing a serious threat from Carlos Alcaraz, the Djoker managed to win three out of the four Grand Slams, taking his tally to 24.

Mouratoglou remarked, “I think it is always difficult to compare sports because I don’t know the other sports well enough to say that one sportsman is better than all the others in other sports. But definitely in tennis, there is no discussion about the fact that he is the greatest considering his achievement.”

Djokovic’s 24 Grand Slam titles are already a remarkable achievement, setting him apart from others. However, Mouratoglou believes Djokovic is far from done. He confidently stated, “And he’s going to keep playing for a few more years and will win many more titles. He won’t stop at 24, even though 24 is already an incredible number. He can win many more, so he’s definitely the greatest.”

However, this isn’t the first time Mouratoglou has praised Djokovic.

Djokovic’s key to grand slam success

As Djokovic faced off against Daniil Medvedev in the title match at the New York Major, it was evident to his fans that he had entered the arena with an unwavering belief in his abilities. Patrick Mouratoglou, speaking passionately in an Instagram video, emphasized the importance of Djokovic’s mindset in the match.

“In the finals of Grand Slams, there are two different Novaks,” Mouratoglou remarked. “There is the Novak that comes to conquer, and when he is like that and he plays his best tennis, he’s the best player in the world.” he further stated.
