Former tennis player Juan Martin del Potro has recently come forward to share his exceptional take on building the perfect tennis player and named various top players, including himself. The Roland Garros official Instagram handle has shared the clip, which has been widely spread on social media. The tennis fraternity was enthralled after knowing the Argentine player's views on the ATP stars.

Juan Martin del Potro builds his perfect tennis player!

The Argentine tennis player was first asked about the 'best serves,' to which he named Roger Federer. Notably, Federer has been known for his power and precision. He was then asked about the 'best backhand,' to which he named Serbian ace Novak Djokovic. The 24-time Grand Slam winner's backhand seems unmatched, which allows him to hit winners from both wings.

The legendary player then named Carlos Alcaraz, when asked about the best 'drop shots.' Notably, the 21-year-old tennis star's precise drop shots allow him to control the points in the game. In addition, Del Potro has named Gael Monfils when asked about the 'fastest speed.' The 38-year-old star is known for his speed and agility on the court.

Thereafter, he named Rafael Nadal when asked about the 'highest tennis IQ.' Nadal seems to have a magnificent ability to read the game and always received praise for his pragmatic brilliance on the court. While Roger Federer again comes on his list when asked about the 'most elegant player.'

Surprisingly, the star player named himself when asked about the 'best forehand.' Notably, the 36-year-old star player's forehand is one of the most powerful strengths in the game.

Meanwhile, the legendary player had ended his illustrious career back in 2024 during an exhibition game against Novak Djokovic.

"You're a special player and special person. I hope this moment is one that you're celebrating. You shouldn't be sad. We all need to move on in life. The best is yet to come for you," Roger Federer sent out an emotional message.

"I don't know anyone who doesn't love Juan Martin... His greatest victory in life is that he's a wonderful person," Djokovic said in the on-court interview.
