Tennis icon Bjorn Borg has given his verdict on Novak Djokovic\u2019s chances of winning a 25th Grand Slam title and also named the player he considers to be the greatest ever.<\/p>\n
Djokovic<\/a> holds the all-time record for the most Grand Slam men\u2019s singles titles, having secured his 24th and most recent major at the 2023 US Open.<\/p>\n The 38-year-old holds almost all of the other most significant records in men\u2019s tennis, including: weeks spent as world No 1 (428), ATP year-end No 1 finishes (eight), ATP Finals titles (seven) and Masters 1000 titles (40).<\/p>\n The Serbian fell at the semi-final stage at all four majors this season, and he will play his first event since the US Open at the Shanghai Masters next month<\/a>.<\/p>\n In an interview with Sky Sports<\/a>, Borg gave his backing to Djokovic in the GOAT debate and also in his quest to win another Grand Slam.<\/p>\n \u201cI think the way he\u2019s playing, Djokovic, for me, is the greatest player to have ever played the game,\u201d said the 11-time major champion.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd then the second place comes to (Roger) Federer and (Rafa) Nadal. They tied for the second place.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s amazing how he (Djokovic) can play that kind of tennis, 38 years old. I\u2019m very impressed.<\/p>\n More Tennis News<\/p>\n Novak Djokovic\u2019s \u2018tennis father\u2019 Nikola Pilic dies at 86 \u2013 and he leaves a remarkable legacy<\/a><\/p>\n Alcaraz, Swiatek, Sinner, Sabalenka push for more money and reform as Djokovic notably absent<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cI know he wants to win that 25th Grand Slam tournament.
