In a rare and candid interview, tennis superstar Novak Djokovic shed light on his complex relationships with Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, two of his biggest rivals and fellow members of the 'Big Three.' The trio dominated men's tennis for over 15 years, claiming 66 of the 72 Grand Slam titles between Wimbledon 2004 and the 2023 US Open. Djokovic, who remains an active player, spoke about the changing dynamics between the three tennis legends. While he admired Federer and Nadal, he felt a sense of distance from Federer, which he believes was a result of a shift in their attitudes towards him. Djokovic revealed that he welcomed Federer back with open arms when he reached out. In contrast, Djokovic's relationship with Nadal was different. He felt a deeper understanding with Nadal, who is also close to his age. The Serbian tennis player believes that their shared experiences and mutual respect contributed to their strong bond. The three tennis greats have grown closer in recent years, often coming together at events like the Laver Cup and Federer's farewell ceremony. Their camaraderie was also evident at Nadal's tribute ceremony at Roland Garros earlier this year. Djokovic's comments offer a glimpse into the intricate web of relationships within the 'Big Three,' highlighting the complex emotions and dynamics that have shaped their careers and personal connections.
