World No. 7 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga says that despite No. 1 Novak Djokovic’s remarkable season, the Serb still has a ways to go before he can be put in the class of 16-time Grand Slam champion Roger Federer and 10-time Grand Slam titlist Rafael Nadal. Djokovic won his second, third and fourth majors this year. Tsonga will face Djokovic in the quarterfinals of the Paris/Bercy Masters 1000.
"For the moment he has less aura than Roger and Rafa because of the number of victories in Grand slams, but also the others were at the top for many years, even if Novak had a very good year this year," Tsonga told reporters "So he's quite far from what the others achieved. His career is not as complete and his position on the tour is not as historical."
