Greg Rusedski believes Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal will both surpass Roger Federer’s total number of Grand Slam titles, and doubts the Swiss will win another major.

The former British No. 1 thinks defending US Open champion Djokovic will add another seven Slams to his 16-strong total, while Nadal will end his career with 21 of the most coveted titles.

At 38, Federer’s chances of adding to his collection of 20 Grand Slams appear slimmer, although he did come within a point of winning title No. 21 at Wimbledon this summer.

But with Djokovic gaining on both Nadal and Federer rapidly – the world No. 1 has won four of the past five Grand Slams – Rusedski thinks the 32-year-old will end his career on top.

‘I’d pick Federer as third,’ he said on Amazon Prime. ‘I think it’s going to be 23 for Novak, 21 for Rafa and 20 for Federer.

‘I think he’ll get to finals and he’s still got a chance to win Wimbledon if something works for him but that’s what I see happening right now.

‘Federer’s 38 years of age, if he wins another Slam – which he had a chance to do at Wimbledon – that would be his greatest accomplishment in my opinion in his career.

‘We were raving when Jimmy Connors at 39 years of age made the semis here and we were thinking “wow, that’s out of sight”.

‘This man has had the most sensational career.’
