Sony Sports Ten: Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer, and Rafael Nadal are widely known as the Big 3 of Tennis due to the sheer dominance they have displayed over the past two decades of the sport. Indian tennis icon, Somdev Devvarman who had the privilege of playing all three legends of the game, on Friday talked about how different the three players are and what sets them apart from the rest of the pack in an exclusive conversation with IANS.
“It was a huge privilege for me, honestly, to play against Roger, Rafa, Novak, and Murray. I'll throw Murray into that conversation as well. Great players of my generation. and all very different challenges to be honest with you. Roger beat you in a very artistic, beautiful way. He played chess where he knew how you wanted to play the point or how you wanted to approach the rally and he didn't allow you to do that. He did that in a variety of ways. I think that's one of the things that Roger did incredibly well," said Devvarman of the Swiss legend.
Devvarman rated Nadal's forehand as the greatest of his time.
