Double whammy for Djokovic and Nadal: one of the colleagues of the two top tennis players in history took them down. Here’s what happened
If we were to ask you which was the strongest tennis player in history, especially if you are of this generation and couldn’t see the ones from the 1980s, for example, you would have a hard time.
Certainly the choice would fall on uni between Federer, the most elegant, Nadal, the one who perhaps thrilled the most, and Djokovic, the most successful, a real cannibal. Everyone has his own preferences of course and it is also fair so, of course, no one would have expected that Alex de Minaur in composing what would be his ideal tennis player, would exclude those two mentioned in the title of this article. Yes, that’s right: the Australian-in the words of an interview that were reported by tennis365.com-spoke just like that, displacing all fans and more, even those who understand a little about the sport. But let’s read together, in short, how he built his own ideal tennis player.
Double whammy for Djokovic and Nadal: he took them down
“The best forehand? I would say Juan Martin del Potro. Backhand? You know what, I’m going to go a little off topic with all my answers, just because it gets a little repetitive. I’m going to go with David Nalbandian. Power? I’m going to go with Jannik Sinner. Service? Nick Kyrgios. Tactical intelligence, for me the best is Roger Federer. “
Selections that have obviously turned the noses of many colleagues and others. To keep out Nadal, the king of clay, and Djokovic, the one who has won the most in the history of the sport, is truly unbelievable and perhaps even a bit out of place. But de Minaur decided to say so to avoid being repetitive, but not putting them out still seems out of all logical sense and also a nice provocation. It is difficult, if not impossible, to be of the same opinion in this case as the Australian prepares to live a 2025 as a major player in racquetball. Of course, if he doesn’t even take as an example, although he didn’t say so, the two mentioned before, then for him the season could get difficult.
