Wilander and Schett on what Big Three brought to Men's tennis, believe Djokovic ends as GOAT: "We are going to miss those rivalries tremendously"

Mats Wilander and Barbara Schett discussed what the big three brought to tennis and why Novak Djokovic will most likely end up as the tennis GOAT.

Novak Djokovic will have a chance to secure his 10th Australian Open final tomorrow when he takes on Tommy Paul and there is a very good chance he'll do it. The Serbian player is widely favoured as he played superb tennis so far this year and looks like the best player in the world again.

Reflecting on Djokovic and the big three rivalries, Wilander said:

"We are going to miss those rivalries tremendously. Novak will be the last of the big three to keep playing because of his body. Okay, he’s got a little injury here, but he seems to be able to deal with the injuries that he gets. He looks so fresh and young.

Schett added:

"Novak said he misses Roger on the tour, but those rivalries got him to where he is now. All three, four of them, actually. They made each other better players. He won’t miss Federer now because he has a very good chance to go down in the history books as winning the most Grand Slam titles ever, but Nadal is still there. His [Djokovic's] body is in such good shape; he has niggles here and there, but he doesn’t have any major injuries, looking after his body. He is still so driven. 21 Grand Slam titles are not enough for Djokovic. That’s great to see.”
