Anybody who had the pleasure of watching the Wimbledon men’s final Sunday morning surely shared the sentiments of runner-up Nick Kyrgios, who said of seven-time winner Novak Djokovic: “He is a bit of a god.”
Elegant maestro Roger Federer and humble warrior Rafael Nadal have always received more fan worship than Djokovic, whose early career histrionics and more recent views on vaccinations make him a polarizing figure. But there is no disputing that Djokovic is one of the greatest players of all time.
Maybe The Greatest when all is said and done.
