French veteran Richard Gasquet has named Roger Federer the greatest of all-time despite Wimbledon failure.
The Swiss lost at the Wimbledon quarter-finals while Djokovic went on to win the tournament and capture his 20th Grand Slam title. It puts Djokovic level with both Federer and Rafael Nadal on 20.
Despite the equal numbers, Gasquet believes it isn't all about number of wins but the way in which the game is played as well.
"I see tennis differently, I’ve always said that for me it’s not just the number of Grand Slam titles that matters", he said.
“One at 21, the other at 22 or 23. I don’t just see the Grand Slam winner, I look at the aesthetics, what you give off on the court.
Then he also added, that nobody can compare to Federer.
“I often hear the race to the highest, it is a pointless subject. For me, Roger Federer is irreplaceable, he’s the greatest player of all time when I see the aesthetics, the grace he has on the court.
“I watch tennis for that (the beauty), although Novak Djokovic is definitely the best and an amazing player.
