"I want to compare Novak Djokovic to a Lionel Messi, a LeBron James and a Tom Brady" - Boris Becker

Boris Becker drew parallels between Novak Djokovic and legendary athletes such as Lionel Messi, LeBron James, and Tom Brady.

According to Becker, Djokovic stands among the world's elite athletes, acknowledging the Serb's remarkable achievements in tennis with 24 Grand Slam titles, 40 ATP 1000 Masters victories, and seven ATP Finals titles.

The German emphasized that Djokovic's greatness transcends tennis, labeling him not only the best tennis player but the "best sportsman" currently.

"Maybe you have to look at it more generally and he's not just the best tennis player at the moment, but the best sportsman. I want to compare him to a Lionel Messi, a LeBron James and a Tom Brady," Becker said on Eurosport Germany's Tennis Podcast in November 2023.

"For me, that's the category Novak is in because all these athletes are dominating or have dominated their sport even in their mid or late thirties," he added.

Boris Becker also expressed optimism about witnessing the prolonged career of Djokovic, believing it would serve as a valuable lesson for aspiring younger players.

"I hope he continues to do so for a long time because nothing better can happen to young players than to compete on the same level as the most successful player of all time. That's the best lesson in tennis," he said.
