CASPER RUD ON NOLE LIKE NO ONE BEFORE: It’s stupid to compare, but Djokovic is the greatest athlete of all time!

Casper Rud, the Norwegian tennis player, believes that Novak Djokovic is the greatest athlete of all time.

Rud has played three Grand Slam finals in his career, and in one of them, he faced Djokovic.

That was at Roland Garros in 2023, and the Serb won convincingly 3:0 (7:6, 6:3, 7:5).

However, despite numerous losses to the Serb, Rud still has a nice opinion of Novak and considers him the best athlete ever.

“Novak is the greatest athlete in history. I don’t want to compare sports, because it’s stupid, but if you compare Novak, for example, with Tom Brady… Brady is the GOAT, don’t get me wrong, but athletically, Novak would destroy him in most physical tests…”, said Rud, and explained further:

“OK, LeBron might destroy Novak in some physical aspects, but for me, Novak is the greatest athlete who has ever lived.”

Djokovic and Rud have played six times, and Novak has won five of the encounters.
