Federer has most options, but Djokovic can accomplish everything - Agassi
Andre Agassi believes that Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic still have a lot to offer to the sport. Speaking to Economic Times, the eight-time Slam winner said: "Am not talking about the best-of-all-times here, but if you take versatility, Federer has most options on the tennis court. Nadal is a very unique player; some opponents trouble him, but he is dominant against 98% of other types of players. If you have to beat seven guys to win, Federer can find more ways to beat the seven guys… But then Novak may have the final say because he is the youngest and healthiest of the three - and he has winning records against both Federer and Nadal. Novak’s game at the highest level can accomplish everything."
Agassi also praised India's doubles player Leander Paes: "He just flew around the court, and had some of the best shots that tennis has ever seen… Leander really had a way of disrupting your rhythm. Thank goodness, he did not believe in himself against me… but then he caused me a lot of ‘aggravation’ throughout the match. As a doubles player, you can play longer (than a singles player). It’s just half the court... But in tennis, age has gone up. You don’t see young ones anymore. You don’t see 19-year-olds winning tournaments. We used to be 19 and we used to win big tournaments; now you can’t think about winning a big tourney before 23 or 24."
