Roger Federer concedes rout in tennis' extraordinary race as Roger Federer admits tennis great race defeat | Roger Federer, for one, figures inquiries concerning whether Rafael Nadal or Novak Djokovic - or both? - will outperform his men's record for most excellent hammer singles titles are disputable.

That is on the grounds that he's certain it will occur. What's more, he's OK with that. Winding up in third spot, Federer demands, would be okay.

"I think the way it's going, clearly, Rafa and Novak will win more," Federer said unassumingly.

Roger Federer admits tennis great race defeat

He didn't state this with a contemplative murmur or a frustrated look at the floor or a hint of disappointment. That is only the manner in which he sees things right now.

Entering the Australian Open beginning on Monday in Melbourne, Federer drives the rundown with 20 majors, trailed by Nadal with 19 and Djokovic with 16. Nadal could pull even with Federer just because. Regardless of whether it genuinely matters who proves to be the best when all is said and done, everybody will be focusing on how it shakes out.

Counting Federer, who outperformed Pete Sampras' old standard of 14 every decade prior. Try not to confuse a genuine standpoint with lack of engagement.

"I surmise you do mind, somewhat, on the grounds that it's ordinary," Federer stated, recognizing the amount it intended to him that Sampras was sitting in the Center Court represents his No. 15.

"I admired him so much that I felt, likewise, awkward perhaps, some of the time, breaking his records. It's not something I at any point needed to do. It coincidentally was this way.

"Obviously I realized it was a major, big-time minute in our game. Furthermore, I think those are the minutes you will recall.

"Presently, toward the end, on the off chance that another person would pass you, I mean, I get it's OK, since that is the thing that sports is about. It's a great deal about numbers. It's a great deal about records.

"Yet, I had my minute and I generally said everything that comes after 15 was, at any rate, a reward. What's more, particularly after the knee damage (in 2016), everything that came after that was a reward.

"I would have taken one more hammer, and I had the option to get three more - and three astonishing ones."

Nadal, right now world No. 1, and Djokovic, who is No. 2 in front of Federer, each won two majors last season.

Djokovic won the Australian Open, beating Nadal in the last, and Wimbledon, beating Federer in the last subsequent to sparing two title focuses. Nadal succeeded at Roland Garros, beating Federer in the semi-finals, and the US Open, confronting neither of the other two.

"I generally state the equivalent: I couldn't want anything more than to be the person who wins more," Nadal stated, "yet I am not thinking (about it) and I'm not going to rehearse each day ... for it."

After his seventh title in Australia a year prior, Djokovic stated: "I would like to concentrate myself on proceeding to improve my game and keeping up the general prosperity that I have - mental, physical, passionate - so I would have the option to contend at such a significant level for the years to come, and have a taken shots at in the end drawing nearer to Roger's record."

Federer's latest great pummel triumph landed at Melbourne Park in 2018. He is 38, an age at which nobody has won a pummel in the expert time; he doesn't feel constrained to stop at any point in the near future. All things considered, time is surely on Nadal, 33, and Djokovic, 32.

"I sincerely believe it will be very energizing to perceive how much longer would they be able to go. What amount more would they be able to win? They may have some increasingly mind boggling a very long time in front of them. That is my suspicion," Federer said. "It's somewhat of a brilliant time for tennis at this moment, no uncertainty."

Sustained, Rafa, and Djoker appear as though they can't be halted. McEnroe believes there's a 'curve'

Russian Daniil Medvedev is the undoubtedly player to break the terrific hammer stranglehold of the "huge three" when the Australian Open beginnings in Melbourne one week from now, as per John McEnroe.

The 23-year-old's eccentric style moved him to four titles and a Tour-driving 59 game dominates in 2019 and McEnroe says he gives various difficulties to the old watchman.

"These more youthful players need to acknowledge that they have to continue adding to their game, accomplishing something else," McEnroe said in a phone call.

"That is the reason Medvedev has had the achievement, since he's rattled at these top folks that they weren't foreseeing, practically like he was returning to the 12 or 14 and unders and pushing the ball.
