"I think in my opinion I believe Roger is the greatest of all time. With his s
kill set, the way he plays the game, I think it's pure. I actually think talen
t-wise Nadal and Djokovic aren't even close to Roger. Talent-wise, just purely
based on talent the way Federer plays, his hands, his serving, his volleys, u
ntouchable," he said.
“在我看来Roger是GOAT，无论是他的技术还是打球的方式，都是那样的纯粹。在天赋的
层面上，我觉得Nadal和Djokovic完全比不上Roger。Federer打球的方式，纯以天赋而论
，他的手感、发球、网前截击，简直是触不可及的。”
"Rafa, you will never see someone so dominant on one surface ever. I don't thi
nk we will ever see that amazing accomplishment on clay, the best clay courter
of all time.
“至于Rafa，你再也见不到任何人能在一种场地上有如此强大的统治力。我从未想过能见
证如此伟大的红土成就，最伟大的红土球员。”
"It's funny because I think Roger is the greatest of all time but not the grea
test of the era because his head-to-head against Rafa is not great. But it's a
tough one."
“有趣的是，我觉得Roger是GOAT，但他却不是这个时代的最佳，因为他对战Rafa的战绩
不够理想。这也是够艰难的。”
One thing that is certain,Kyrgios has had a rocky relationship with Djokovic,
who he yesterday labelled a "very strange cat"due to his controversial actions
off the court amid the coronavirus pandemic.
可以确定的是Kyrgios和Djokovic关系不太融洽，由于Djokovic在疫情流行期间在场外的
种种争议行为，前几天Kyrgios才称呼Djokovic,是奇怪的猫
Kyrgios has played Djokovic on two occasions, winning both encounters without
dropping a single set.
Kyrgios对战过Djokovic两次，两次都是直落二获胜。
The Aussie added that he felt throughout his career, three-time Grand Slam win
ner Andy Murray has proven a more difficult opponent than Djokovic.
Kyrgios也补充说到，他觉得在他的整个职业生涯中，三届大满贯冠军Andy Murray比起Dj
okovic是更难应付的对手。
"Me personally, I played them all. I actually think Andy for me was tougher th
an Novak to play. I mean, I have only played Novak twice. I have played Andy s
ix times and I'm 1-5," he said.
“我和他们都有过对战，我觉得Andy比Novak更难对付。我和Novak只打过两次，但和Andy
打过六次，我1-5落后。”
"Nadal, I actually think I match up quite well against Nadal. I can serve big
and play kind of the right style of tennis to be successful against him. Style
s make fights in tennis.
“对战Nadal时，我觉得我的风格还挺适合的。我发球好，我的打法在他面前也常能奏效
。网球场上的比拼是由比赛风格决定的。”
"All the matchups are different. Roger's chopped me a couple of times. Roger m
akes you feel like you're really bad at tennis sometimes. He walks around, he
flicks his head , and I'm, like, I don't even know what I'm doing out here.
“每一场对决都各不相同，Roger摧毁过我好几次，他时常能让你觉得自己根本不会打网
球。他就在那走来走去、甩甩头，我都不知道自己在那干嘛。”
"Roger is the greatest, for me. But Novak, obviously what he's doing now, look
, I'm just watching him play (Jeremy) Chardy and Chardy doesn't even believe t
hat he can win, and when you reach that status, you must be pretty good."
“所以Roger对我来说是最强的，但Novak呢，看看他现在的表现。我刚在看他和Chardy的
比赛，Chardy根本没想过自己能赢。如果你已经建立起了这样的形象，那说明你一定非常
优秀。”
