Novak Djokovic has not finished making people talk, in an interview devoted to Corriere della Serra he spoke about his relations with his rivals Roger Federer And Rafael Nadal.
Perceived as the least popular member of the big three, the winner of 22 Grand Slam tournaments first spoke about Swiss champion Roger Federer: “ With Roger, we have never been friends, between rivals, it is impossible. But we have never been enemies. I’ve always had respect for Federer, he’s one of the greatest of all time. He had an extraordinary impact, but I was never close to him. »
Regarding Rafael Nadal, their relationship is a little more mixed. “ He’s only a year older than me, we’re both Gemini. At first, we even went to dinner together, several times. But even with him friendship was impossible. I have always respected and admired him. It is thanks to him, and Federer, that I grew up and became what I am. It will unite us forever, which is why I am grateful to them. Nadal is part of my life. Over the past 15 years, I’ve seen him more than my mother. »
