Novak Djokovic is often considered the greatest tennis player of all time, but not by world number 26 Stefanos Tsitsipas. Djokovic is a record 24-time Grand Slam champion, winning nine of those major titles with Goran Ivanisevic as his coach. The Serbian parted ways with the former Wimbledon champion last year, with Ivanisevic now coaching Tsitsipas. While Djokovic and Tsitsipas now have that in common, the Greek has picked another player as his greatest player of all time.

Jannik Sinner has reached back-to-back finals since returning to the ATP Tour. Sinner was beaten by Carlos Alcaraz in both of those clay court finals, most recently in the five set thriller at Roland Garros. The Italian actually led the Roland Garros final by two sets to love, with Alcaraz saving three championship points against Sinner. There was a lot of praise for Sinner and Alcaraz after that final, including from John McEnroe who claimed they could beat Rafael Nadal.
