McEnroe: “Federer invents tennis, Nadal would be nemesis. While Djokovic…”

The former World No.1 John McEnroe praised Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic. "Federer is the most complete guy and when he fires up, you cannot reach him as he makes the winner from any angle and he invents tennis. But my worst nightmare as an active player would have been to face Rafael Nadal on clay when he was at his best. And then you have to say that Novak Djokovic improves on a consistent basis, also on serve and hitting volleys,” said the Seven-time Grand Slam winner. McEnroe revealed who are the greatest five players ever. "I answer with my top four: Rod Laver, Pete Sampras, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal; Novak Djokovic is No. 5 but he is raising. On the top ten, I instead have to put Lew Hoad, who was the strongest out of everyone when he was fit, that's what I was told although I never faced him. And then you have Bjorn Borg of course."

Roger Federer suffered his fastest defeat in 16 years: “I played 45 matches this year, so I think I should be fine”
