World No. 8 Matteo Berrettini has dropped a major praise on each member of the Big Three group.

The Big Three group -- consisting of Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer -- has been absolutely dominant at the Grand Slams for the past few season. 

Stan Wawrinka, the 2016 US Open champion, has been the last Grand Slam outside the Big Three group. 

Berrettini, 23, met his idol Federer on the court twice last year. 

Unfortunately for the Italian, he lost each of the two matches as Federer beat the Italian at Wimbledon and the Nitto ATP Finals. 

"Roger is tennis. He can do whatever he wants. It's so easy. He is my idol. And I can talk about him for two days. He makes it look like he born like that," Berrettini said of Federer on Instagram Live, as revealed by Jose Morgado. 

Berrettini also met world No. 1 Novak Djokovic at Nitto ATP Finals last year. 

Djokovic, a 17-time Grand Slam champion, demolished the Italian 6-2 6-1 in their first meeting. 

"Novak is a machine. For me he is the worst to play (against). I played him in London at the ATP Finals and I couldn't hold serve," Berrettini said of Djokovic. 

Berrettini, 23, made his maiden Grand Slam semifinal at last year's US Open. 

The Italian's great run at Flushing Meadows came to an end after he was beaten in straight sets by Nadal. 

"Nadal's intensity is unbelievable. It doesn't matter if the score is 5-0 and 0-5," Berrettini said.
