Casper Ruud has praised Novak Djokovic, asserting that Djokovic’s achievements firmly establish him as the greatest of all time. Reflecting on Djokovic’s remarkable career, Ruud emphasized the Serbian’s dominance in the sport.
“Djokovic is a tough nut to crack and certainly deserves to be considered the best of all time,” Ruud stated.
“There is no doubt about everything he has won. I often say that it is not possible to ‘round off’ tennis like a video game when there is nothing else to achieve, but in terms of merits and tournament victories, Djokovic has won all the titles possible. It was fantastic to see him win Olympic gold this season.”
