Patrick Mouratoglou is known as one of the best known coaches of the modern era and he has given his view that Novak Djokovic is the best player out of the big three.

Mouratoglou said that if Djokovic hadn't disappeared for a time from the sport that he would likely already be the most successful player of all time.

He also gave special praise to Roger Federer and said that the way he plays is perfection and he will likely not see anyone better in his lifetime.

“When the big three play their best tennis, Novak wins most of the time.” He told Spiegel.

“If Novak had not had the two years when he almost disappeared from tennis, he would probably already be the player with the most Grand Slam titles. I can imagine that one day he will be the most successful player in history.”

“Roger is a genius. He plays tennis in perfection. I can not remember ever seeing a player playing tennis like this. And I think I will not, until I die.” He added.

“You can film Roger and then play the tape in slow motion: Then you can see that everything he does is perfect. “
