The Greek declared that the Swiss Maestro does things "effortlessly" and while the 20-time Grand Slam champion is an example to kids, he should not be emulated as you will only fail to do so. "Roger is Roger, someone who has been doing things so effortlessly. He's an example – all of them are examples to younger kids – but he is an example to everyone for how not to do things, because you will fail for sure if you try and play like Roger," said Tsitsipas, smiling. The 2021 French Open finalist, meanwhile, noted the 22-time Grand Slam champion Nadal's humility as they key to the Spaniard's consistency. "Rafa (Nadal) is incredibly humble. Something might have broken in there, because, you know, 26 Roland Garros titles in a row is not humanly normal... I'm thinking about it very often. You know, [it] takes a lot of, not just talent, but dedication and kind of not understanding what you have done in order to continue doing that year after year," said Tsitsipas.

"Djokovic, he's one of the greatest returners, I think, ever, close to Agassi, probably, Andre Agassi," said Tsitsipas. The World No. 6 then pointed out Murray's fighting spirit, remarking on how the Brit's tenacity is his standout trait. "Andy Murray is such an incredible fighter and never gives up. You know, whining a lot as well, which is unusual for someone in the Top Four," said Tsitsipas.

Stefanos Tsitsipas reveals the best qualities of Roger Federer Rafael Nadal Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray
By Kristina Villanueva Modified 27 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Andy Murray, Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic pose for photos during the Laver Cup gala dinner. Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray, collectively known as the 'Big-4,' have dominated tennis for the past two decades. The Laver Cup, Federer's brainchild tournament, has managed to bring the quartet together for the first – and last – time as they geared up on the same side of the net for Team Europe in the 2022 edition. Stefanos Tsitsipas, three-time member of Europe, highlighted the best qualities of Federer, Nadal, Djokovic and Murray during his press conference after bringing the second point to his team with a 6-2, 6-1 win against Team World's Diego Schwartzman. After clarifying that he won against all members of the Big 4 in his career (the interviewer said three), Tsitsipas proceeded to note the strengths of each one, saying that they will "remain probably one of the best in our sport."
