"I need to be like Novak Djokovic, even if he lacks the brilliance of Roger Federer," says British sporting legend

Snooker legend Ronnie O’Sullivan has hailed Novak Djokovic as the perfect example to follow. O’Sullivan is widely regarded as the most talented player to ever pick up a cue, although he has failed to deliver as many world titles as most would expect. “I probably need to be like a Novak Djokovic,” Ronnie O’Sullivan told Eurosport. “He’s double solid, he does everything very well and he’s not going to give you anything. “He’s not the most flamboyant, he’s not going to give you the Roger Federer brilliance or the Rafael Nadal forehand but he’s there from start to finish and his form doesn’t dip much. I’ve always said to win in Sheffield you have to have that steady-state type of game.” Source: tennishead
