Andy Roddick played against Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic and has answered who he thinks could end up as the ‘Greatest Of All Time’ in the race between the ‘Big Three’.

20-time Grand Slam winner Federer had an imposing 21-3 head-to-head record over the American throughout their careers and Roddick currently claims the Swiss maestro is the current GOAT.

‘RIDICULOUS’: Federer and Djokovic in ugly virus controversy

But Roddick said if Djokovic’s current trajectory takes him level or he eclipses Federer’s Grand Slam record, than the World No.1 would also have to be considered the best due to his superior head-to-head record.

"Right now for me, it is Roger and Serena," Roddick told Tennis 365.

"[But] if Novak somehow gets to the point where he is tied for the all-time slams record with Rafa and Roger then it becomes very important on the head-to-head and Masters titles.

“To have a winning head-to-head record against Roger, Rafa, [Andy] Murray - if Novak is tied on total Slams at the end, it is going to be really tough to argue against his resume."

Djokovic has an incredible winning record of 27-23 against Federer and 29-26 against Nadal.
