Roger Federer or Rafael Nadal? Novak Djokovic takes his pick among the two as a tougher opponent

World number one Tennis star Novak Djokovic on Monday
laid out his rivalry with two of his contemporary tennis greats – Roger Federer
and Rafael Nadal. Asked about choosing a greater rival amongst the two, the Serbian
player said that making a choice was difficult, as both have been strong
opponents.

two, also adding that both push him to become a better player, as per an exclusive

“Both of these guys have been so special in my career.
Hard to pick one of them, because I have always had to compete against both of
them as they were so dominant and consistent. They have such different tennis
styles and how they behave on the court and off the court, and I have to adjust
differently to the both of them”, NDTV quoted Djokovic as saying.

The Serbian on Monday broke Swiss star Roger Federer’s
record of staying in the first position in ATP rankings for the greatest number
of weeks.
