World No. 1 Novak Djokovic has been the most dominant player in the last decade. The honors he has earned along with the records he has broken in the recent past highlight his mark on the game. In the current season itself, the Serb has won all the Grand Slam events that have taken place.
Recently, Novak Djokovic was asked about who is better between Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal on a neutral surface. However, he remembered the one match they played against each other on a half grass and half clay court. He was all praise for the person who came up with the idea.

I thought that was fantastic whoever came up with the idea was genius and as a tennis fan, I enjoyed that very much. So whoever won that match, you have your answer.”
