Novak Djokovic is the "greatest of all time", says Leander Paes
Indian tennis legend Leander Paes recently spoke with Forbes about how no one ever thought Bjorn Borg's record of winning five Wimbledon titles could be broken. However, Roger Federer broke it years later with eight grasscourt Slam titles, and then Rafael Nadal (22) broke the Swiss' Grand Slam record (20).
"I started playing when (Bjorn] Borg and (John) McEnroe were still playing, and no one ever thought that Borg’s five Wimbledon record could be beaten," Paes said. "Until Federer came around and he won eight Wimbledons and 20 Grand Slams. And then Nadal bettered Federer's Grand Slam record, by winning 22, and winning 14 titles at the French Open alone."
Paes then weighed in on the goat debate surrounding the 'Big 3', saying that Novak Djokovic is the "greatest of all time" considering his record.
"And then out comes Djokovic. This Serbian boy who is a great athlete with a phenomenal mind - for me, by far the greatest of all time. Why? Because the history books show that. He has won 24 Grand Slams and counting…it doesn’t look like he’s stopping. This is insane," the doubles legend added.
