It's impossible not to like Roger Federer, says Andre Agassi

Andre Agassi worked with Novak Djokovic for four months between 2017 and 2018, and they ended their association in March 2018 as they could not get successful results. Speaking to Times of India, Agassi still praised Djokovic's character as well as Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal's. "I have the luxury of getting to know Novak and he would never be disrespectful to somebody you know, willingly or knowingly", said Agassi. "You know Roger, it's impossible not to like this man. When you talk to him, his consideration to fans, to peers, to media. Same with Rafa, the time that they give, they are professionals all in their own way and I think there's a great deal of respect. You know with me it was different. Everybody knows my story. I was confused, I hated what I did. Sometimes Pete inspired me, sometimes I envied him, sometimes he annoyed me, sometimes I resented it. But I was the one that was (makes up and down gesture). Then when you look back, you see Pete was just Pete. So, as a result, you got three great champions, four when you consider Pete, that didn't seem to have my problems. So I do respect it, assuming it's true, which you never know.
Everybody comes to the game at this level bringing something. You don't become, or you don't win multiple slams without doing something different than somebodv else did it."
Meanwhile, speaking of Federer, the Swiss player – in one of his media interactions in Dubai – said it was a pleasure to face the likes of Nadal, Djokovic and Andy Murray in the tournament.
