Novak Djokovic thanks Mats Wilander for Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal quip

Wilander spoke highly of Djokovic’s straight-set win over Hubert Hurkacz and reckoned Djokovic has had to play against Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. “I appreciate nice words and compliments from Mats, he is one of the legends of our sport,” Djokovic said. “If I am not mistaken he was one of the first players to hold three out of four Slams in a year. He is someone that is around the tour, that travels a lot and follows tennis. I had an interview with him several days ago but I will not say more than that. I have never played or fought against cactus in my life. If I do that then I will answer your question.”
