Novak Djokovic will eventually get Roger Federer's Grand Slam record

Novak Djokovic will be regarded as the greatest tennis player of all time with the most Grand Slam titles, according to Eurosport presenter and former player Barbara Schett. Roger Federer currently leads the list with 20 titles to his name. Rafael Nadal is just one behind Federer while Djokovic sits on 17 after winning the Australian Open in January. Speaking in an interview with Eurosport prior to Wimbledon being called off, Schett stated the case against Federer whilst backing Djokovic. "It's so hard to say because they are all still playing," she said. "Roger has won the most Grand Slam titles at the moment and that’s why we choose him now, but certainly Rafa and Novak could overtake him. We’ll see how Roger recovers from the knee surgery he had. "It’s getting harder and harder for him to win Grand Slams and I’m not sure he’ll get as close again as he did at Wimbledon last year, especially as there is every chance Wimbledon won’t take place this year. He’s not getting any younger – for now, Roger is the greatest of all time, but I think Novak Djokovic will eventually get him." Source: Express
