Without a doubt, Novak Djokovic is the best, for results, numbers… for everything“‘King David’ answered bluntly.

So it’s a question of taste.”
On the other hand, the Argentine made it clear who is the best in history from his point of view: “It’s Djokovic, without a doubt… and the most professional. In everything. Afterwards, you may like it more or less, but for me, there is no doubt on this question.”
