Novak Djokovic or Roger Federer? Uncle Toni names Rafael Nadal’s toughest opponent

Toni Nadal insists Novak Djokovic is Rafael Nadal's thoughtest opponent not Roger Federer. Uncle Toni coached the 19-times grand slam champion for the majority of his career but stepped aside three years ago to focus on running the 34-year-old’s tennis academy in Spain. Asked to pick his nephew’s toughest opponent, Toni said: "For us it was always more difficult to play against Djokovic. Because it’s not about who of them is better. For us, when we play against Federer, we have a way to beat him. In my mind, before going on court, I know what we have to do." Despite ranking Djokovic as the more difficult man to play again, Toni still believes the Serb has work to do to expropriate Federer as the greatest player of all time. He added: "For me, he (Federer) is a wonderful player. I like to watch Roger Federer a lot. I know Federer is the best ever with I don’t know who; maybe Rod Laver or maybe Rafael, he’s not too far (behind). But at the moment Federer is the best." Source: Metro
