Throughout the history of tennis, we have been able to watch the greats of the sport, so it is natural that year after year we have debates about the greatest in the history of this sport. Many names are mentioned as the greatest in the history of tennis, but it is really difficult to make an objective judgement.
Rod Laver, the Australian tennis player who left a deep mark in the history of tennis, spoke about the best players in the sport with an interesting perspective.
While some mention names like Pete Sampras, Andre Agassi, John McEnroe, as well as the members of the Big Three', Laver had to single out two names that impressed him the most and that he considers the greatest in the sport.
Primarily, Laver believes Novak Djokovic is the greatest, but says Roger Federer is equally great, so it is difficult for him to choose between the two.

Rivalry between Djokovic and Federer
Serbian and Swiss tennis players defined an era of tennis by having an exciting rivalry. Of course, we cannot fail to mention Rafael Nadal, who was also part of this story and rivalry.
Watching their matches, especially those in the finals of major tournaments, it is noticeable with what enthusiasm and motivation both tennis players played and what moments they created for us. Tennis fans equally miss the rivalry between Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic, but now we live in a new era where we enjoy watching rising stars like Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz.
