Australia’s tennis star Alex de Minaur stated that Serbia’s Novak Djokovic is ‘probably’ the greatest of all time in the sport.

The 36-year-old is often regarded as the greatest in the history of tennis in the men’s singles category in the Open era, having won as many as 24 Grand Slam titles.

De Minaur has recently been quoted in a report where he heaped praise on Djokovic and called him the ‘GOAT’ player in tennis.

"Yeah, look, it's no secret Novak Djokovic's level, it's incredible, and he's probably the GOAT, if we're honest,” he said. “So he started the year strong. It's going to be obviously extremely tough, but it will be a challenge that I'll be looking forward to to hopefully going out there and show what I can do.”

Djokovic, who is currently taking part in the United Cup where he is a part of the team Serbia, is coming into the season on the back of an impressive time on the court in 2023 where he ended up winning three out of four Grand Slam titles.

His only defeat last season in a major tournament came in the final at Wimbledon where he came second-best against Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz in a five-set thriller with a score of 1–6, 7–6(8–6), 6–1, 3–6, 6–4.
