Rick Macci, drew an interesting analogy when comparing Novak Djokovic to Roger Federer and Pete Sampras.

The former coach of Serena Williams and Venus Williams is always attentive to the current state of tennis. This time, he made an analogy on social media regarding Novak Djokovic's movement on grass, comparing him to Roger Federer and Pete Sampras.

"Movement on grass is so different. Roger was so graceful he was poetry in motion. Sampras was so light he was on egg shells. @DjokerNole is so nimble and balanced he can fire groundstrokes off both butterfly wings with a glass of goat milk on his head and not spill a drop," Macci wrote on Twitter

When it comes to Wimbledon titles, these three players hold the record for the most victories among male athletes. Roger Federer currently leads the pack with 8 titles, followed closely by Pete Sampras and Novak Djokovic with 7 each. This year, Djokovic has the opportunity to match Federer's tally and claim his 24th Grand Slam title, thus equaling Margaret Court's all-time record.

Fourth Round against Hurckacz.

As we enter the fourth round of Wimbledon, Djokovic faces his toughest challenge yet in the form of the 17th seed, Hubert Hurckacz. Djokovic's path to the fourth round has been flawless, as he has not dropped a single set thus far, overcoming opponents such as Pedro Cachín and Jordan Thompson.

On the other side of the court, Hurckacz secured victories against Albert Ramos Vinolas, local player Jan Choinski, and the 14th seed, Lorenzo Musetti. Hurckacz's powerful serve has been a standout feature, and his previous accomplishments, including reaching the semifinals of the 2021 Wimbledon tournament and winning the 2022 Halle Open, prove his proficiency on grass courts.

"He didn't drop a set so far in the tournament. I saw how he was playing. He's very comfortable playing on grass. He beat Federer here some years ago. He's a player that doesn't mind playing on a big stadium," Djokovic said about Hurckacz

"As you mentioned, super nice guy, someone that I really, really like off the court. It's going to be a great battle. I look forward to that. I know I have to be at my best to win," the 23-time Grand Slam champion added.
