Novak Djokovic rarely comments on the topic of greatest of all time in tennis but he hopes the conversation continues for a long time.
The conversation about who the greatest tennis player of all time is has many aspects to it. There is subjectivity to it and it's really hard to differentiate who is truly better. Djokovic admitted as such saying:
“It’s difficult to say who is better. Three of us, we’re all so different. We all have different styles. We have different trajectories or journeys to where we are at this moment. We all had tremendous success, some more particularly on one surface, some the other surface.”
Djokovic also hopes to conversation about the topic continues because he believes it's a very good sport. He explained that the players compliment each other as well:
“We do complement each other. I think the rivalry between the ‘Big Three’, so to say, it’s phenomenal for our sport. So the more traction, the more conversation there is around the three of us, the GOAT discussion, et cetera, the better in general for our sport."
He ended with:
“Yeah, I hope people still keep on talking about it.”
