Greek tennis star Stefanos Tsitsipas has once again shown his deep admiration for Novak Djokovic, calling the Serbian legend “the greatest to have ever held a tennis racket.” The statement, made during a recent interview, underscores Djokovic’s unparalleled dominance and lasting impact on the sport.
Tsitsipas, who has faced Djokovic in several memorable battles—including the 2021 Roland Garros final and numerous ATP clashes—praised not only his opponent’s incredible achievements but also his relentless mindset and longevity. “What he’s done is beyond impressive,” Tsitsipas said. “He continues to redefine what’s possible in tennis—mentally, physically, and competitively.”
Djokovic’s résumé speaks for itself: 24 Grand Slam titles, record weeks as World No. 1, and a career that has seen him conquer every surface multiple times. For many players, including Tsitsipas, Djokovic’s consistency, adaptability, and mental fortitude have set a new benchmark in tennis greatness.
Fans and analysts have long debated the “GOAT” (Greatest of All Time) question between Djokovic, Federer, and Nadal, but Tsitsipas’ remark adds another strong voice in favor of the Serbian icon. As Tsitsipas continues his own quest for a major title, his respect for Djokovic’s journey serves as both admiration and motivation—proof that even his fiercest rivals can recognize true greatness when they see it.
