Former world number 2, Tommy Haas spoke about Big Three and especially Roger Federer who is just 3 years younger than Haas but still keeps competing.

Haas spoke to Marca and mostly praised Federer. The Swiss is 38-years-old and still aims to win at least his 21st Grand Slam title. Haas mentions 2019 Wimbledon final when Federer had a few match points but did not convert them.
"The reality is that he is someone very special. When you see him play at his age and at that level, all you can say is wow. In fact, he should have 21 ‘Grand Slams’ because in the Wimbledon final, with 40-15 and serve, (the title) was his. Unfortunately, this was not the case, but the way he moves and continues to compete making the right schedule is incredible. That he is hungry after all he has gained is phenomenal.”
Haas spoke also about Nadal and Djokovic. He praises all of them and thinks they really help to promote tennis.
“What Rafa did at the (2019) US Open was crazy. The final was like a roller coaster. First, he won two sets to zero and break ‘in the third with Medvedev. The match was over. Then Daniil came back, but Rafa is always there, he never loses concentration and that makes him a unique athlete,” said Haas.
“Djokovic is unpredictable, but it is also true that he is the youngest of the three and has room to win at least two or three more (majors). Federer is the one that has it more difficult to win (a grand slam) again and his opportunity will be at Wimbledon again and Roger knows it so he will give everything. Maybe all three should stay on 20 titles.”
"Hopefully he stays healthy, wants to keep winning and plays for many more years,” said Haas. His presence, together with that of Rafa Nadal and Novak Djokovic helps to promote tennis. It is true that we need a couple of young people to come out and stand up to them.”
