Tennis Coach Mike Digby declares Novak Djokovic as the Greatest of All Time
Renowned tennis coach Mike Digby, who has worked with Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic, has shared his view on who truly deserves the title of tennis’ greatest player of all time.
Days ago, Sportsrations’ Uduak Oscar weighed in on the debate on who is the greatest Tennis player of all time, with Novak Djokovic compared to other greats.
With Djokovic having 24 Grand Slam titles, compared to Nadal’s 22 and Federer’s 20, many might assume that the Serbian star tops the list solely based on achievements. However, Digby’s assessment goes beyond numbers.
In a recent interview, Digby described the unique aura each player brings to the court. He praised Federer for his “pure quality of ball striking” and “elegance,” making his presence felt through his calmness and class. Nadal, on the other hand, was lauded for his tenacity and power, with his presence being felt through the sound of his strikes and his determined footwork.
When it came to Djokovic, Digby highlighted a combination of Federer and Nadal’s qualities, along with an “arrogance” that he felt was integral to Djokovic’s identity. According to Digby, this confidence sets Djokovic apart and has helped shape him into the dominant force he is today.
After carefully considering these attributes, Digby concluded that Djokovic’s blend of skill, attitude, and achievements makes him the greatest player to have ever graced the tennis court.
