Novak: I would pick you
Andy: And I would pick you
Their wives: Are we a joke to you?
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Michel Ramirez nice comment lol
Hahaha
Ils sont ensemble!
As Andy put it himself "I think you penetrated me pretty well I'd say"
Have to hand it to Djokovic for complementing Kyrigos after Nick's infamous rant last year
@@ThisIsHarun I think cunts a bit harsh but yeah I respect novak.
Lol kyrgios fights alone, djokovic has never bothered himself with him
I think even Andy wasn't expecting that
Nicks has best serve
Are you saying he's good for not lying?
their relationship is underrated and they are so well spoken and funny
They've none each other seen they was 12
@@ronnylee1520 11
@@brankojovic2000 novak is super good friends with delpo . Delpo said that novak called him weekly to see how he was when he was injured
@@ronnylee1520 yeah most players do actually that's the age they start with international competitions with the juniors
True
Novak complimenting Kyrgios even after all the crap Nick talks about him is really classy.
roter13 all he said was Kyrgios has the best serve. Kyrgios literally said in his own live video that Djokovic has the best backhand and movement
That's what a goat does
Oh Boy, have you ever seen Nole on the Court? He is not classy, you should lern serbian.
Cause Kyrgios is a kid.
@@waldnerch10 Name one well known player, one who has achieved winning at least one GS who hasn't said any vulgarities on court (yes even Federer has shouted shut up at a crowd who wasn't even 1% as much distracting to him as they are to Djokovic on a regular basis). Then, name one who has had to compose with as much crowd opposition as Novak.
Novak IS classy.
Federer's serve is very underrated for a person of average height in Tennis. The amount of free points he gets through accuracy is crazy.
Not to mention his one hand backhand, the best in the business no doubt
@@clarkkent2220 Nah, prime Wawrinka had a better one hand backhand, no question
@@Rafael-xt1nm They say Stan's backhand is better because he has more power and often imposes itself on the game of good.
Well Sampras, a better server, is even shorter than Federer.

It is nice to hear Novak saying that Andy is one of the 3 hardest opponents he has. Andy deserves more credit than he actually gets.
Yeah, but it's also totally logical given that Andy is one of the Big 4.
It’s tough for Andy cause the big 4 phrase rly shouldn’t be used considering his achievements compared to them. But he also can’t really be put in the same group as Stan, delpo, cilic and all the other contenders cause he did so much more than they did. Idk that’s j my take they are all amazing champions
@@pants1359 True, but the big 4 term was used because for almost 10 years something like 80-90% of SF places at the slams were the big four. It was meant to mean you had to beat at least one of them to win a slam. If you took Murray out of it, then the argument fell down. Murray was the only player to have decent H2H against the big three, and consistently beating them at slams and masters. So he was definitely in there, if he'd just won one or two more slams I think he'd be more cemented as top 10 player of all time. Keep in mind he wasnt too far off french and Aussie wins. If he had those he'd be the only player to have literally won everything inc Davis cup and olympics
@@pants1359 3.5?
Or 3 and a half GOATS?
He warms up? I bloody died
Me too LOL
Chris Aitken same
😂😂
It’s interesting that Federer and Nadal are good friends, and also Djokovic and Murray are good friends. Such a unique and amazing era for pro tennis
Rafa and Andy are very good friends
Anyone else thinks that Stan's Roland Garros 2015 shorts are underrated?
Yh lol
Djokovic still having ptsd from Stans one handed in that Rolland garros final.😂
I don't think those pants were that ugly as everyone does
Shorts
no they were bad
Zverev : I will put myself for serve,volley,fh,bh,spirit etc
Djokovic: Respect!
Rafa: Unbeliebeble
Honestly Zverev can make an argument for any of those, he’s got great strokes.
@@rohitcsrini Yeah especially his volley, outstanding
Hahaha!!!
@@rohitcsrini just bad mental game and bad 2nd serve. those 2 are very important though so it really hurts him.
Djoko too humble there, everyone knows his return and backhand are the best in the business
But at same time it can be weird for Djokovic to choose himself 😅
It's so Zverev if you pick yourself
There was a interview where Novak chose his own return.
But you just have to agree with that, that's why it was ok XD
His backhand is nowhere near the best.
@@hamzabenji5396 LOL. How many times does he breakdown compared to Nadal? Stupid bastard.
Novak and Andy knew each other since they were 10 years of age that's way they respect each other. they are for sure great champions .
I'm happy that Nole still considers Andy as one of his "three greatest rivals", that, in spite of Andy being out of the loop for quite a time now.

True absolutely true
physical issues?
If they had a category for best lob, that should go to Andy, especially for the backhand lob.
Rafa said hold my beer at the same time he hit a lob tweener against Djokovic.
and the category for the worst smasher would go to Novak-lol
yes, murray for the lob all day.
Leighten Hewitt for the lob.
He lobbed karlovic 6 times in a single match. Just proves your point.
Sascha Zverev:
Put myself in there
lol
Andrew Lubbers that’s exactly what I was thinking if Zverev did the same thing.
So you spend your life saying same jokes you copied over and over ?
For worst second serve award
this meme will never die
Gotta love how in detail they explain why they choose a lot of these shots. I love how Djokovic goes into detail about why he chose Federer for volley, and mentioning the accuracy during certain moments, as well as how Federer doesn’t necessarily care that the return is coming back and just keeping opponents from settling into a rally. I never thought of it that way, so it’s kind of new.
The specifics of why they choose such is also helpful. Some don’t need too much explanation like how they chose Delpo and Nadal’s forehands. Those two shots kind of speak for themselves. Also love that they are tennis nerds. Murray being the nerdiest.
So good to see them complementing each other, Rafa and Roger along with other tour players. We should cherish this kind of stuff before the big 4 retire
Murray is basically one foot out the door
This was awesome, so great to watch.
RoSmash true that but still if you look at his career as a whole he will be missed by many
You mean big 3
Filip Ivkovic yeah just didn’t want to exclude Murray but I guess big 3 it is then
Who else came here after watching Roger/Rafa's live
This feels like a conversation they should be having 20 years from now.
Novak feeling left out because Roger and Rafa are so close.
"Andy... I always felt it was me and you."
Djokovic and Murray are both amazing players - great sportsmanship between the two!
"You're only allowed one. It's a rule." The Brit inside him.

Novak' backhand itself is arguably the best on tour but it comes even greater with his flexibility.
I think Novak’s and Murray’s backhands are pretty even, but it seemed Murray’s backhands are more fluid.
I agree
@@Sena-co1ug The stats are better on Djokovic's backhand so...
@Max There’s no denying that, but the difference in Novak’s and Andy’s performance is in the psychological aspect of the sport, and not in the mastery of technique.
Djokovic has a better backhand on the two handed but Murray has a better slice and volley on the backhand
I hate how damn lovable Novak is. I want to be mad at him for taking away Wimbledon 19 from Roger but he's just so genuine
So true
Joker is a lund
Rohan Agarwal I know what that’s like man. You can’t hate him.
In the end it was better fairytale that Djokovic saved those match points than if Federer just won. But I don't know, I like Novak and Federer both I can't really tell who I support more... 😉
@@vladomontezuma626 I mean, Djokovic is probably a better player than Fed and may be remembered as the GOAT, but Fed really deserved that Wimbledon run. First time beating both Rafa and Nole in a grand slam run at 37 years old and winning his last grand slam title that way would have been the greatest way to end his career. I know Nole won, but Fed really choked it away after that great passing shot from Nole. It's a shame.
Obviously I am a Federer fan but I have great resoect for djokovic. Alot of categories we knew he was the best in he still didn't mention himself and showed so much respect to roger despite him winning the last 3 h2h wibledons. Great respect to him
you still gotta respect Roger even if you beat the last 10 matches!dude is pure class(i'm a Rafa fan)
I respect Federer, the most of big 3 and agree he is a pure class . Also I want him to win one more slam before retirement
Thanks guys for all the respect you show. Even to the other goat rafa. I believe we all have our favourites but without these 3 goats, tennis is different. Glad y'all agree. Have a nice day
Novak is one of the greatest but Roger has also beaten a prime Novak in 2011 when Novak was unstoppable...Federer is way past his prime in 2018 2019...He won the 2017 and 2018 Australian opens but he wasn't at his best...Even the biggest fan of Roger knew it...
When I watch Murray play before his injuries and surgeries, he was like a wall... Andy is consistent with his groundstrokes, I'm just impressed... and that signature lob? He knows how to apply that at the right time. His netgame is also great.. and his serve is better than Rafa.. his return game is insane! Andy is a complete player man.. I mean a very difficult opponent man..
I have seen the full video of this and I don’t know why Djokovic is not popular people seem to like Federer and Nadal much more. I reckon the lockdown will help Murray make a full recovery from hip surgery 👍🎾
He doesn't act natural. Either bursts either overly correct. He needs to learn to loosen up a bit.
Several reasons: Federer and Nadal were there before him and the majority prefers their style (especially Federers) over Djokovics (which is almost perfect robotic baseline tennis).
His antics on court are pretty annoying and his cancerous parents didn´t help his popularity either.
Another reason, pretty sad one imo: his origin. If he was from another country some people would like him or at least not hate him.
Overall I think he should get more respect. People don´t have to like him, but greatness should be appreciated.
Ferguson don’t agree with that last one. People really don’t care he is Serbian. He just comes out “fake” to anyone who can read between the lines.
I still don't understand what genuine looks like. I actually prefer Nole, who shows you emotion. As for the other 2, when they are loosing, their controlled demons creep in slightly. I think Thiem is the most genuine.
I can tell you why Djoker isn't popular: he stays on the baseline all the time. Nothing wrong with that. No serve and volley. No volley game whatsoever. You get me? Hope you do!
Roger's volley game... SO SOLID! underrated and so great to watch. His overhead smash too.
Novak is so humble
Huge tennis player and hugely respectful towards others players, respect to both of them
My two idols and favorite players in Tennis and both of you are very talented on tennis courts I'm Leonilo Dumana from the Philippines i follow and watching almost every time you play on utube so God bless both of you i hopefully someday i can watch live in person playing on court so thank you very much Andy and Novak
It’s great to see two legends talking, we all see them competing against each other but off the court, they get along and are normal people.
Love the respect these guys have for each other, and Rafa and Roger.
A very interesting discussion. I like how they explain the reasons for their choice in details. Insightful and professional.
Love to know their perspective especially Novak
Absolutely love watching these dudes interact! Awesome!
They should have added “lob”. Murray has the best top spin lob.
Djokovic is in my opinion the most likeable guy on the tour, he is so genuine and down to earth. Such an inspiration.
Thats right
If you truly follow all four of these players, they're all really lovable and down to earth. Being a Fed fan to the end, I used to be mad that they're all such great gentlemen. Really wish people stop needing to choose just 1.
Champions, warriors, giggles... what's not to like. Thanks guys :) x
Great convo! So cool to seem them have a chilled, but yet serious convo. Love the openness about the abilities of other players!
Murray's answers are so thoughtful!
Murray didnt get the reference at the end lol he celebrated like that against gasquet
He did.
Physical condition is a tricky category. It really much depends on what aspect you take into account. In terms of physical potential, I would also go for Monfils. He's definitely got the best natural athletic potential. But in terms of physical strength resulting from natural ability and hard work, I would probably go for Djokovic. And I would also argue that Federer is often underrated in that regard. His longevity and some of the most impressive features in his game (footwork, running around the backhand, volley,...) all come down to great physical shape and natural ability.
Great video guys thanks Andy and Novak, nice to know your thoughts about players and theirs shots, and for letting me pick your brain.
Love this Andy and Novak... keep it coming. Can you talk about next generation please!! Who will take over the mantel of the top 4?
Both seem very reflected and know a lot about tennis (what a surprise). I’d agree with pretty much all of their choices and there was not one pick where I was thinking like “why the hell did they pick this player” or something in that direction
Serve: Sampras or Roger(for more variety)
Volley: Roger
Footwork: Roger
Mixing up the game: Roger
Mental toughness: Roger or Sampras or nadal or Djokovic(improved since 2011), Sampras is pretty mentally tough too.
Physical(Stamina): Thiem or nadal
Flexibility: Djokovic
Forehand: Roger or Del Potro
Single hand backhand: tough one... Stan or Roger(for more variety)
Double hand backhand: Djokovic or Murray
Smash: Roger or Sampras
Serve & Volley: Sampras or Roger
Trick shots: Roger or Murray or Kyrgios
Slice: Roger or Murray
These both men are so real.
Great to see these two rivals together as mates
They have known each other since they were boys.
This was awesome! Now we need Roger and Rafa!
For the overhead smash I'm definitely going for Djokovic
We love you, Novak ! Andy, kisses from Serbia, you are a super player and charismatic man.
Marej je za razliku od nadala i federera uvek imao isti način ponašanja i odnosa prema novaku
Za razliku od pomenute dvojice koji su promenili ploču kada su počeli da dobijaju po ušima od novaka...
Tako da je po meni licno mnogo bolji lik od njih uopšte. Svaka čast. Čak šta više smatram da su ga povrede sprečile da ima još uspeha u svojoj zavidnoj karijeri. Jer kada je 100 posto fit bogami kolko god voleli i navijali za noleta zaista čak na momente deluje jako moćno možda čak i bolje od ove trjice zajedno! Uglavnom car u svakom smislu te reči!
I've for the most part over the years pretty intensely disliked Novak Djokovic ... but his candor and ability to analyze both himself and his greatest rivals seems to possess an insight that speaks well of him. He'd likely be an excellent commentator in the years after his on-court career is complete.
Now I want to see Roger and Rafa make a similar video
This is great intel for Andy! 👨🎓
Its lovely to watch them chat 💜

These guys are practically childhood buddies right...literally 1 week apart by age...grew up playing tennis with each other...so nice to see.
Thank you so much luv this
Legendary
Very nice of them to compliment Ferrer on his physicality and fighting spirit. Even though these guys have a better head to head against him, they know how hard it is to beat Ferrer because he keeps putting the ball back in.
What a wholesome video of the boys
I love listening to Novak talk about Stan's backhand. Being on the receiving end of that cruise missile must have been quite something.
I always feel that you can’t pick Isner’s serve unless your perfect player is 6 ft 11
I guess that what we mean by "perfect" though - you can have the serve of a 6'11 man but the movement of someone 6'1
Karlovic 1 serve is better than Isner, less physical demanding, but in the second serv Isner is better.
Brandon M I think Kyrgios is a good shout. Roddick has a massive serve at 6 ft 2
@@_nuno3852 I think they are going with the overall serve (which would include 1st and 2nd serve). You got to go with Isner since his 2nd serve is way better than Karlovic, and his 1st serve is almost as good. www.atptour.com/en/stats/leaderboard?boardType=serve&timeFrame=52Week&surface=all&versusRank=all&formerNo1=false
Nuno sad agreed
This still wouldn't beat Rafa at the French
ahahahahhahahahah!
Lol
Yes it would easily
Right 😂
hahahahaha the difficult part is that this player has his mentality... this match would be days long
These two guys get along so well.
Mental game and estrategy, Gustavo Guga
Mmm.. I have to disagree with Djokovic on the forehand choice, even though probably nobody cares. I'm sure Delpo can hit the forehand more efficiently from a certain position since he is so tall and he is very good with his movement even on the inside out and the inside in, but Roger can hit his forehand from every position possible due to his footwork, anticipation, reflexes and perception. Also he can hit it flat, spin, all types of angles, whipping, lob, dropshot, squash shot, blocking counterattack, half volley and he can take it early consistently unlike anyone else without compromising his position.
Ok Fed fan. You need to chill. But i agree! haha.

These conversations are epic
Delpo's forehand is the best power wise, but if you combine power, precision and consistency, Nadal's FH is better.
Truth
Nadal's FH only the best on clay
It's better cos you are his fan🤪
djokovic not mentioning nadal's forehand ,i think it's because his forehand is not the one he struggled with the most throughout his career
ruclips.net/video/OV3jsTtsWps/видео.html
He's mentioned before about how Nadal's forehand is a monster
Well Nadal is the player who has beaten Djokovic the most. Obviously vice versa too, but still. He probably meant in another way that Delpo's the best even tho we obviously know it ain't. At least not in terms of consistency.
@@NLLeFa maybe .but what i meant is that novak over the years had learned how to deal with nadal's forehand better than everybody .when all the players are struggling with the high bounce and losing the majority of cross court exchanges .novak had huge success in that department recently and the proof is their latest matches .anyway no one can deny how good nadal's forehand is (one of the best ever)
@@moadrehhali5120 Coming from that point of view I agree, but still I don't believe that Novak has struggled more to Delpo than Nadal so he probably meant just in a technical or power way. Del Po has a very solid forehand, but ain't that damaging.

Well he has never felt them 😂
He's too humble to put himself there
Irena Deacon Henriquez Exactly
dualShock True 😁😂🔥
Irena Deacon Henriquez The anti-Zverev
I'd go with:
Serve - Isner
There are a few players with slightly better records on their first serve, but isner can also back up it up with a great second serve, only roger and rafa have a better second serve win percentage which is incredible considering how much weaker isner is once he gets into a rally.
Forehand - Federer
Rafa's forehand is better on clay, if someone designed the perfect forehand for clay, I think they'd end up with rafa's forehand. However, his forehand is vulnerable on hard and grass, novak and roger have shown that rafa can be exploited on his forehand side.
Backhand - Djokovic
Andy also has a pretty reliable backhand but I don't think he can match novak. Wawrinka probably has the best offensive backhand when he's in form, it's inconsistent but on his day he seems to hit winners at will off the backhand.
Volleys - Federer
Imo this one is the hardest to judge because it's hard to compare volleying ability when players have very different tendencies to get up to the net. Some players will take riskier approaches which results in having to play harder volleys or being exposed to getting passed, while others come in when they have a very strong advantage so have easier volleys and don't lose many points. E.g. Nadal has a great win percentage at the net but doesn't make many risky approaches, whereas someone like mischa zverev comes into the net whenever there is a chance to do so which results in a lower win percentage at the net. I went with roger as he seems to have a good balance, he's got great skills at the net, and has a great net win percentage even though he's willing to take more risky approaches than most players.
Athleticism/Movement - Monfils/Djokovic
There are many players with better footwork than monfils, but I went with monfils because of his speed across the court, he's not technically perfect with his movement but his raw speed is insane. Djokovic's flexibility and agility has been one of his greatest strengths, he doesn't have the speed of monfils but he can hit shots from positions where any other player would be completely off balance.
Mental - Djokovic/Nadal
Imo rafa's more consistent mentally, novak sometimes has days where he seems to lose his focus and get distracted by external factors. However, novak can seem unbreakable at the biggest moments, when there is a high pressure moment in the biggest matches novak can turn into immovable object.
This is the perfect list but they were trying to change it up. I like your list better because it is 100 percent right
Agreed! This is probably the best list I've seen!

Is Murray on something? Forehand Nadal? What's he smoking?
@zakaria djouzi haha...i am not a fed fanboy btw. Nadal's FH is weak. That's the truth.
You don't see this kind of respect in any other sport, maybe motorsport but it's not on the level of Tennis. The Greatest sport in the world and i miss it dearly!
Both these guys are very honest ....
As a Roger fan I appreciate Novak's comment/analysis at 5:20
Who else thinks there will be one more big match up between these guys?
shorts: stan the man
It kind of amazes me that Djoko didn't pick himself on the categories that he clearly dominates. I don't know if he's humble or just an act, but mad respect. I would have chosen Nole for backhand, return and mentality. I'm a Roger fan, but it's a no brainer in their current form.
That's not a big bicep so I'm changing my pick 😂😂😂👍 Brilliant discussion by 2 Greats!
Good picks but Novak could have picked himself for Backhand, return (though Murray is tied IMO), and mentality. Mentality I think Novak's peak is higher than Rafa but yes over career, Rafa has always had that bulldog mentality and quick ability to turn up the gas.
"Peak" is nonsense, how would you even define that or know how that's distributed? That sounds like sports fan manufactures narratives. The fact is, Rafa has been at tough as you can mentally be since 16 years old on tour, also the greatest fighting spirit
@@johnharris8872 I mean it's all opinion but from what I've seen Novak had been able to win from higher pressure situations more often like match points down etc. Almost impossible situations basically
@@superx1457 novak has been able to get out of tough situations more times than anyone. he is the most "clutch" in big moments, wimbledon 2019 is a prime example. its perfectly reasonable to put him above rafa

Andy take care we miss you 😘 Both of are wonderful 🇺🇸
Djokovic could easily pick himself for returns, backhand and mentality...The guy is a beast.. no disputes..
This player would still lose to Rafa on clay
Nadal barely beat him in 2013 though
Stolen comment from the video *ATP players build the best player*
I mean regular Novak beat him
@@nemanjap8768 Regular Novak has never beaten Rafa on clay. A-game Novak certainly has, but ... no person has ever beaten Rafa's A-game on clay. Unless you possess supernatural powers, it's not possible.
@@josephmanno4514 You are an idiot and know nothing about tennis. Sheeple
Andy used to get on my nerves before but now i miss him and i miss that rivalry Novak/Murray as number 1 and number 2 they dominated for so many years. But it would take Murray long to come back to where he was. I hope he does.we miss tennis. Let's pray corona will allow at least end of the season to happen. 😓
From 2003-2020:
Serve: Roger (Mixes it up with every spin, pace and lenght, with the same throw, and also amazing 2nd serve that is most important)
Forehand: Rafa (Can create winners from every corner, amazing running forehand, has a spin and pushes the other player back with every stroke, not even with his "transport-strokes" the opponent can rest.)
Backhand: Novak (Hardly ever misses, can mix the tempo and create angels, down the line is probably the best ever and that's why he has beaten Rafa on clay more than anyone.)
Volley: Roger (Touch, short volleys, half volleys, serve and volley, goes to the net at the right moments)
Mental: Rafa (Every point is match point, every game is a grand slam final. And every stroke is a perfect balance between risky and safe. It must be horrible to face him when you are not in the lead.)
Psysical: Roger (Super underrated this one. Hardly ever injured in 20 years, moves amazingly and effortless on the court, that is the result of one thing, core strenght and atletisism).
There are players that maybe has one game or match or even a tournament, but you must look at the consistant lenght the last two decades.
