Novak Djokovic makes bold Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal claim with ‘Next Gen’ dig


Novak Djokovic threw a jab in the direction of the next generation stars after tasting defeat in the Italian Open final on Sunday afternoon. The Serb was beaten by Rafael Nadal over three sets in Rome. Despite the threat posed by the rising stars, Djokovic appears to be confident that he, Nadal and Federer will maintain their shared position of power for the foreseeable future. The 33-year-old suggested that he is far from worried when quizzed on the sport's new wave after Sunday's match. "The Next Gen young people? Me, Rafa and Roger are reinventing the NextGen," said Djokovic. "We are the Next Gen." The 'Big Three' have rarely been troubled for silverware throughout their lengthy reign at the top, winning 58 of the 70 available Grand Slam titles since Wimbledon in 2003.
