World No.1 Novak Djokovic is often mentioned in the GOAT conversation, and Romanian tennis player Andreea Prisacariu believes the Serbian possessed the abilities found in the other two members of the Big 3, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal.

In a recent podcast, Prisacariu revealed she had been watching Djokovic since her childhood and stated the 24-time Grand Slam champion displayed the elegance of Federer and hard-working nature of Nadal.

Djokovic had combined aspects of Federer and Nadal according to Prisacariu

"It was always him [Djokovic] since I was a little child and it was also him when he was No. 3 in the world you know, after the big guys in that time," she said on the Novak Weekly Podcast. "Only because he was having the elegance of Federer and hard work of Nadal combined. So I think he had both sides. Because Nadal was a hard worker and Federer was pure talent, but Novak had everything.

"I also saw myself in that as a person because I never could be just one thing. So, when I saw another human being who’s successful and free in the way he speaks and the way he does things… I said 'Ok, this could be my role model for sure."

Additionally, the World No.322 stated she sometimes looked to Djokovic for inspiration during difficult moments in her matches and even life in general.

"You know, in my imagination, when times were tough on court or even in real life, I was listening to him, the way he was speaking in interviews or the way he was playing. Because I wanted to be on the right path also mentally and also in my tennis life."
