"I never felt that with any other player," Baghdatis reveals which member of the Big 3 gave him the most trouble
Marcos Baghdatis, former world No. 8 in 2006, has faced the three members of the Big 3 multiple times: Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, and Roger Federer.
In an interview with the media Tennis 365, the Cypriot revealed which opponent was the most formidable against him.
He stated: "I would choose Novak Djokovic, simply because I never beat him (he beat Nadal and Federer once). But it's very difficult to choose.
I believe that every time I played against Novak, the matches were quite tight. That's my opinion. I might be wrong, but that's what I remember.
But I think he gave me a good beating once, and it was at Indian Wells. It was 6-1, 6-3, I came off the court and felt like this guy had taught me a lesson.
And I never felt that with any other player. I never felt it with Roger or with Rafa, even when I was younger and playing against Roger, I always told myself: 'Next time, I can beat him'.
I always had that feeling. But with Novak, it was... I didn't have that feeling, especially after that match."
