Andre Agassi Calls Djokovic the Ultimate Tennis Predator Ahead of French Open Semifinal
Novak Djokovic’s case as the greatest tennis player in history just got a major endorsement from another legend—Andre Agassi. During a candid conversation with Andy Roddick on the Served podcast, Agassi showered the Serbian star with praise, calling him not only the greatest defensive player of all time but potentially the greatest offensive one as well.
“I see the greatest defensive player the game has ever seen,” Agassi said. “Shockingly, when he needs to be, possibly the greatest offensive player the game has ever seen. He can open the court up from the center with the forehand cross. He’s the kind of boxer that needs to feel the glove hit him before he even engages.”
Agassi didn’t stop there. Highlighting Djokovic’s relentless hunger for victory, he humorously remarked, “He’s like an amoeba that just swallows you and drags you under. He beats you defensively. He beats you offensively. It’s like he wants to beat your mom, too. Like, take it easy, it’s okay, you’re going to get through this. The guy is world-class. How many different ways can you say it?”
Now, Djokovic is just two matches away from making history once again. The 24-time Grand Slam champion has secured a semifinal berth at the 2025 French Open after a dominant win over Alexander Zverev. He will face rising star Jannik Sinner on Friday, June 6, with a chance to move closer to a record-extending 25th Major title.
While the dream of reaching 30 Grand Slam wins still lingers, all eyes are on Djokovic as he seeks to claim a fourth Roland Garros title and reaffirm his place at the top of tennis history.
