Federer, Nadal, Djokovic dominance was unthinkable - Canas
In an interview to ATP, Guillermo Canas recalled his magical week at the 2007 Miami Open that ended up losing to a then 19-year-old Novak Djokovic in the final. Canas said: "It's a unique memory, reaching a final in Miami and playing the final with Djokovic... Beating Federer, they were very good weeks and I have great memories. This is the best year I remember from my career. The last time I spoke a bit of this tournament with Djokovic... It was his first Masters 1000. I was in the same house as Novak in Indian Wells and we spoke, with his brothers, about the tournament. But when you are with Nole you speak about everything and not just tennis. Back in the day Djokovic was not among the promising guys but a reality... And a great player, that would be a future No. 1. That week was definitely one of the best in my life although I got injured."
Canas also commented on the Big Three dominance: "Now he is one of the best players ever and it tells about the player he is. The best will be defined in the end of his career... He was able to compete with all of them. And what Federer, Nadal, Djokovic did is something that you could never imagine it would happen and they keep doing new things."
He finally spoke highly of the new Miami Open venue: "It seems very nice. For the crowd it's much better and with a bigger space... It's the first year and you have room for many things", he concluded.
