Without Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic would not be at this level: Mats Wilander | Tennisspeak

  •  RAFAEL NADAL AND NOVAK DJOKOVIC WOULD NOT BE AT THIS LEVEL WITHOUT ROGER FEDERER, SAYS MATS WILANDER

The Big 3 of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic have ruled men’s tennis for almost 2 decades now. They have shown dominance unseen and unheard of in tennis, or rather sports in general. Such was their dominance that they have won 61 combined grand slam titles in the last 18 years. They have played a very vital role in popularizing and globalizing the sport.


Amongst the Big 3, Roger Federer is the oldest and the pioneer of the men’s revolution. He brought a different charisma to the sport and changed the way in which tennis was played. The Swiss maestro is currently 40 and is still recovering from his third knee surgery. He is undoubtedly the most popular tennis player ever and hence fans can’t wait for him to grace the court again.

Like Federer, 23-time grand slam champion Serena Williams also is missing from the tour. 7-time grand slam champion Mats Wilander believes that both the tennis legends- Serena and Roger deserve to say goodbye to the sport on their terms in their favorite stadium.

“For both Roger and Serena, they deserve to play their last match in front of a full stadium at their favorite venue. I’m guessing for Federer that would be Wimbledon and for Serena it would be Arthur Ashe Stadium in New York,” Wilander told Eurosport.

‘I don’t want to see them retire at all, but everyone gets older’: Mats Wilander


 Everyone would love to thank them for their services, whether they are playing a first-round match or a final, according to Wilander. He claimed that Federer has inspired and pushed Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal to become better players, not just the current generation. Serena Williams was also dubbed "the greatest female tennis player of all time" by him.

“Whether it’s the first round, second round, semi-finals, or final, it doesn’t make any difference. We would all love to say goodbye and thank them for what they have done because they have inspired the generation playing today, but also players like Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic would not be at this level without Roger Federer setting the tone and the same on the women’s side with Serena Williams, maybe the greatest tennis player of all time. I would love to see them retire in front of a full crowd – of course, I don’t want to see them retire at all, but everyone gets older!” he said.

Serbs to President Joe Biden: "Novak Djokovic is not a security threat" Source: TennisWorldUSA Tennisspeak- Due to the fact that Novak Djokovic does not have access to the United States at this time as a result of his immunization problem and the fact that he is required to obtain a green pass in order to enter the United States, he is unable to compete.  On the other hand, a proposal has emerged from Serbia with the intention of providing the matter with a decisive boost, with the end objective of enabling the three-time winner of the US Open to compete in Flushing Meadows. An initiative spearheaded by Nebojsa Jovanovic, owner of a company that promotes professional tennis in Serbia. Jovanovic wrote a letter to Vice President Joe Biden, appealing to a particular legal clause in the 10294 presidential proclamations of national interest, under which foreign citizens would be granted an exemption and would therefore be able to enter the United States. Jovanovic's letter was...

  Sam Querrey vs. Filip Krajinovic 6/16/22 Queen’s Club Tennis Picks, Predictions, Odds,Live | Tennisspeak Sam Querrey will meet Filip Krajinovic in the Round of 16 at the 2022 Queen’s Club Championships. The match will be played on Thursday June 16th, 2022 at 11:00am EST. Filip Krajinovic is ranked #48 in the world and is playing in the Queen's Club Championships as an unseeded player. The Serbian has a horrible track record on grass, and hasn't won a match at Wimbledon since 2012. His first grass competition of the season, Queen's, saw him defeat Jenson Brooksby 6-4, 6-3 in the first round. During that match, Krajinovic returned exceptionally well, something he'll need to do even better against Sam Querrey's massive serving. He isn't a natural on grass, but he has a terrific all-around game, is at ease at the net, and has a good slice. The huge American may be troubled by his versatility, but he will most certainly struggle with the situation. Sam Querrey...
