Roger Federer: The master of a generation and beyond

#2 Novak Djokovic

Djokovic has consistently challenged everyone including Federer, and will continue to do so, thanks to his fitness, sportsmanship and gluten-free diet.

Novak Djokovic, after losing to Federer and Nadal in the final rounds of Majors for a couple of years, proved his mettle when he won the Australian Open in 2008.

He has won all Majors except the French Open, while the Rod Laver Arena (Australian Open) still remains to be his favorite hunting ground. His record against both Federer and Nadal is more or less even.

An entertainer both on and off the court, Novak is as serious about his game as funny as he might appear to be. He just edged past Federer in last year’s Wimbledon final in an unforgettable five-setter. While many would have believed that to be the end of Federer, Federer’s emphatic win last night created enough waves to make Federer-pessimists reconsider. Tomorrow’s final will reveal a lot.
