Roger Federer gives his opinion on best ever debate vs Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal | Tennis | Sport

“People always like to compare. I see it every day with my twins. Without wanting, you compare them. You shouldn’t — ever,” he told the Associated Press. “Naturally, we do the same in tennis… I am my own career, my own player, that needed those challenges. They needed a challenger like myself.

“We made each other better. So at the end of the day, we’ll all shake hands and be like, ‘That was awesome.’ Now is somebody going to be happier than the other? I mean, in moments, maybe.”

Deciding on the GOAT debate is also a tricky balancing act for their peers. Wawrinka, who like Federer represents the Switzerland flag, believes that there is no separating the ‘Big Three’ in their prime: “They broke all the records between him, Rafa and Roger. They took everything and ate everything. These are the greatest players in the history of tennis.”
