Daniil Medvedev has no doubt that Novak Djokovic is the greatest tennis player in history and the world number three believes the Serbian's ability to conjure up victories even on his bad days sets him apart from the rest.Djokovic claimed a men's record 23rd Grand Slam title at the French Open last month to leapfrog Rafa Nadal and go three ahead of another great rival in Roger Federer, with the 36-year-old eyeing an eighth crown at Wimbledon which begins on Monday.Victory in London will leave Djokovic level with Margaret Court on 24 major titles atop the all-time list."I don't know how does he do it," Medvedev told reporters. "I think if I saw it right, Novak is almost 50 per cent.
I think I saw he played 70 majors and 35 (34) he was in the final. I don't know how it is possible. He doesn't have bad days?"Actually, he does, like everybody.
Even on these bad days, he manages to beat the opponent. It's actually tough because it's one against one. Both of them want to win."I don't know how he's doing it.
That's why he's for me the greatest in the history of tennis. But this is basically, of course, debatable."Having also won the Australian Open at the start of the year, Djokovic is looking to keep alive his hopes of a calendar year Grand Slam - winning all four majors in a single year.Medvedev famously beat Djokovic in the 2021 U.S.
