Agassi reveals the worst player he faced between Federer, Nadal, Djokovic
Who is the worst opponent Andre Agassi has faced between Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal in his playing days? The American unveiled his answer in an interview to Economic Times. "I had the privilege of playing all three of them", said Agassi, a former world No. 1 and eight-time Grand Slam winner. "Novak was the worst of them because he was so young and it was an exhibition but he still beat me. We had [Rod] Laver win two Grand Slams on two surfaces, grass and clay. Nobody has come close to winning four in the same year. Federer could have done it three times with one match against one guy he couldn’t seem to beat on clay (Rafael Nadal). So we are talking about historic achievements. I get it that when my generation left, Andy Roddick comes in and wins a Slam, somebody comes in and wins a Slam, but with Federer it looked like he was this guy coming in at the right time and then he ends up having to compete against two of the greatest ever and he does it. So I feel like these guys just kept raising the bar of tennis. Nadal speaks for himself,” he remarked.
On Djokovic's chances to pass Federer's 20 Majors, Agassi added: “If I have to make a bet, what is he at? 15? So two more for three years? Now you also have children, you also have priorities in life, but if he wants to, he will”.
