The “BIG 3” (Federer, Nadal, Djokovic) have created a historic tennis rivalry for nearly 2 decades, together they have dominated the tennis scene and won most Grand Slam titles (GS) in that time. time. Currently, Roger Federer retires, Rafael Nadal struggles with injury, and only Novak can win another major title.

Winning 24 GS when winning the US Open 2023 championship proves that Nole can win many more GS. What “The Djoker” did surprised the entire tennis world. Experts and fans all used many beautiful words to praise the Serbian tennis player’s achievements, but I waited for a long time to see what Nadal and Federer said.

Responding to Spanish media earlier this week, “Gaur” Nadal said he had not sent his wishes to Nole because he wanted to give his opponent the best words. Recently, when asked by the media about the Serbian tennis player’s great achievements, Federer also spoke up.

Present in Vancouver, Canada as an honored guest at the team cup event between the world team and the European team, the 42-year-old “Express Train” shared many stories.

The former tennis player holding 20 GS reminded about Djokovic in an interview with Eurosport: “Tennis still has many interesting things going on. Records will always be broken, or history will turn to a new page. For example, The US Open went great, with Novak Djokovic’s record of 24 Grand Slam titles. I’m also happy for Coco Gauff’s victory. I’ve known her for 5 years, when she was very young and this is it a great achievement for her”.

The Swiss legend spoke about the transition in tennis: “The generational change is really remarkable. I’m a bit embarrassed that I haven’t been able to compete with some of the younger players in the last few years. But I think it’s great It’s amazing what’s happening in tennis at the moment and I’m still following the new movements very closely.”

Federer regretted, apologizing to the young stars for not being able to compete against them, saying: “Many young people are emerging, a generation that I cannot compete with. I am referring to Holger Rune, Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz. I’m sorry, I can’t have a chance to compete with them, I think they will have a bright future.”

Finally, the 42-year-old legend said he was happy to participate in the 2023 Laver Cup, calling the 3-day tournament in Canada “three days of happiness”.
