Speaking to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/tennis\/news-novak-djokovic-wants-take-federer-nadal-tamara-zidansek-s-coach-mike-digby-opens-big-3-carlos-alcaraz-jannik-sinner\/?tag=dailexpr-21\" rel=\"nofollow\">Sportskeeda<\/a>, he said: &#8220;It is difficult because they all bring an aura.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I speak about this word a lot, like an aura to the tennis court. They have a strong presence but if I was blindfolded, they\u2019re very different auras. I would say Federer, you can feel his presence just through the pure quality of ball striking. So just the sound of the ball off the strings, the elegance that he brings when he does it, just the calm and class that he brings, you can just feel it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"amp-readmore-target\">Speaking on Nadal, Digby added: &#8220;But on the flip side, Nadal would be someone that you can hear, right? His aura comes through what you hear through the heaviness of the strike, through the grunt, obviously, through the feet that you can kind of just hear him scurrying his feet.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div id=\"perform-placeholder\" class=\"placeholder\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 16px; color: #35334e; font-family: Apercu, sans-serif; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 300; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: #f6f9f8; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;\" data-config=\"{&quot;name&quot;:&quot;perform-placeholder&quot;,&quot;componentType&quot;:&quot;placeholder&quot;,&quot;referenceNode&quot;:&quot;.article-body &gt; p:nth-of-type(6)&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;performPlaceholder&quot;,&quot;relativePos&quot;:&quot;after&quot;}\" data-placeholder-placeholder=\"\" data-response-start=\"8380.799999952316\" data-type=\"placeholder\"><\/div>\n<p>Turning his attention to Djokovic, he continued: &#8220;Novak has a blend of those two.

I think that if he didn\u2019t have that, he wouldn\u2019t be the Novak Djokovic that we all know.
