The debate between Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer for the title of the greatest player in the history of tennis seems to be eternal. Both have transcended their discipline and elevated tennis to a higher status. The career of the Serbian still offers surprising and exciting parallels with that of the Swiss. Roger achieved his 100th title at 37 years old against Stefanos Tsitsipas, who idolized him and was born the first year Roger turned professional (1998). Now, history seems to repeat itself: Novak will seek his 100th title at 37 against Jakub Mensik, who idolized him and was born the first year Novak turned professional (2005). Will Nole fulfill the prophecy?
