Tim Henman believes that world No. 1 Novak Djokovic will end his career one of the greatest tennis players of all time. Djokovic, an eight-time Grand Slam singles champion, has been on a roll this year, winning the Australian Open as well as Masters tournaments at Indian Wells, Miami, and Monte Carlo.
"Djokovic is the machine," the former Wimbledon semifinalist Henman told the Belfast Telegraph. "It's the way he's hitting the ball from the baseline, how aggressively he plays and how he does it with so few unforced errors. His ability to turn defense into attack is second to none. He will be considered in the same class as [Roger] Federer and [Rafael] Nadal.”
Federer has won 17 Grand Slam singles titles; Nadal has won 14. Djokovic has won the Australian Open five times, Wimbledon twice, and the US Open once. He has finished runner-up at Roland Garros twice, losing both times to Nadal.
"Djokovic has won eight Slams but in the future that number is going to climb to 11, 12, 13 and maybe more. When he does that he will go down as one of the greats,” said Henman.
