Matteo Berrettini praises Novak Djokovic as an “alien” while evaluating Federer and Nadal

Italian tennis star Matteo Berrettini has hailed Novak Djokovic as an “alien” and compared him to fellow legends Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. Berrettini, who lost to Djokovic in the 2021 Wimbledon final, praised the world No 1’s impressive motivation and ability to manage his body. He also referred to Djokovic, Nadal, and Federer as “alien” due to their incredible talent and success in the sport.

However, Berrettini noted that while he sees Djokovic as being the furthest away from himself, he found Nadal to be the most intense of the three. The Italian described the Spaniard as having “pure energy” and being a “bull“. On the other hand, Federer was labeled as “sensitive” for his ability to always have the right words and the right mood for any situation.

Berrettini’s comments come amidst the ongoing debate about who among the Big Three is the greatest of all time (GOAT). The Italian, however, refused to pick one single man, acknowledging each player’s unique strengths and contributions to the sport.

As one of the rising stars of tennis, Berrettini has yet to beat Djokovic, Federer, or Nadal, but he continues to improve his game and climb up the rankings. Fans will be eager to see if he can break the Big Three’s stranglehold on the Grand Slams and secure his own place in the sport’s history books.
