While answering this question, Djokovic came up with a very humble reply:

“Okay, so, Rafa's strength and I would say physical and mental strength. I would take Roger’s serve and forehand. I would take Andy Murray's defense and return, and I won't put myself in the mix, but I think already that kind of player is already pretty good,” said Djokovic to the journalist.
