NUMBER ☝️ @AlexZverev @ErsteBankOpen

The idea that Monica Seles would’ve taken several of Steffi Graf’s Slams if she hadn’t been stabbed is treated like a fact. Graf led their H2H 10-5, including 6-4 before the stabbing, and had already won 11 Slams by then. Seles was incredible, but Graf wasn’t going anywhere.

Stan Wawrinka looks back on a career to remember 🫶

Roger Federer, Rafa Nadal and Novak Djokovic have all played professional tennis for more than twenty years. Here are the statistical results of the ATP tour-level matches played by three of the greatest players the tennis sport has ever witnessed, These are wholesome numbers👍And, NOT a few "cherry-picked" ones that most of the FEDAL fans come out with to make themselves feel happy about the success of their favourites. The matches played on CARPETS are not considered here as they were very few compared to the total. The last official main-tour ATP tournament played on Carpet was the Lyon Grand Prix in France, in October 2008. The Win-Loss record of Roger, Rafa and Novak on Carpet laid courts were: 50-20; 2-6; and 9-4 respectively. The Swiss has played a total of 1456; the Spaniard 1300; and the Serbian 1410 tour matches in their career. The graphics here displays the Win-Loss record and the respective Win% of the BIG 3 played on each surface – Hard, Grass & Clay at the start of 2026 ATP 500 Swiss Indoors, Basel. As can be expected, Federer has played more matches than Rafa and Novak on both hard courts and grass courts – 269 more than Nadal’s 669 & 51 more than Novak’s 887 on hard courts. On grass, Roger played 125 matches more to Rafa’s 96, and 69 more to Novak’s 152. On the other hand, Nadal has played a total of 535 matches on his favourite and most successful Clay surface – 238 more than Federer’s 297, and 164 more than Novak’s 371.! In win percentages, Djokovic leads the table on hard courts with a slight advantage over Federer (84.10% to 83.48%). The Swiss leads on grass court matches with a little better advantage over the Serbian (86.88% to 85.52%). Nadal of course leads on the red-clay in win percentages, with Djokovic coming second (90.47% to 80.05%). The legendary Serbian is the only player to have a Win Percentage of above 80% on each of the surfaces. And, he also leads the table on Hard Courts, Grass Courts and Clay Courts combined on that parameter (Roger 82.49%; Rafa 82.92% & Djokovic 83.19%), in spite of Nadal having a success rate of above 90% on clay.! After reading this piece, if some tennis fans still think one of Federer or Nadal is the Greatest of All Time, they are not talking tennis which is a SPORT.! They are EITHER awarding marks like Judges in an event for the Miss World Contest OR waving white handkerchiefs by the spectators to signal the approval of the matador’s bravery in a Spanish Bullfight😂😂 There is One and ONLY One GOAT - that is Novak Djokovic from Serbia, the Master on all surfaces👏👏 BRAVO and Long Live Nole💪❤️🙏

Three Grand Slams. 🏆 Olympic Gold. 🥇 And one legendary backhand. ❤️ Wawrinka bids farewell to the sport of tennis, leaving behind a legacy that will never be forgotten. Merci pour tout, Stan. 🇨🇭

Grand Slam titles won by defeating BOTH other Big 3 members in the same tournament: 🇪🇸 Nadal: 3 🇷🇸 Djokovic: 1 🇨🇭 Federer: 0 When debating who faced the toughest competition … it’s hard to ignore this stat

Roger Federer was the No.1 player in the world when he won 3 of his 12 Majors against Andy Roddick. In a GOAT debate, his fans always cite the Head-to-Head advantage of 5-4 the American has over Novak Djokovic to convince themselves that Roger’s first 12 Slam titles were played in stronger period.! But they conveniently hide the fact that Roddick’s last two wins against Djokovic were in 2010. Novak was only 22 years of age, and it was before the Serbian became the No.1 for the first time in his career on July 04, 2011. They are tied 1-1 in Grand Slam matches. At the same time, Team FEDAL fans (including Rafa Nadal’ s) NEVER mention Federer has a negative H-H of 3-4 against Alexander Zverev, the 2021 Tokyo Olympics Gold Medalist, and the latest Slam Champion at ROLAND-GARROS in Paris & at Flushing Meadows in New York this year. What do they have to say about the one-to-one lead of 10-5 that Djokovic has over Zverev.? Novak is second in the list with a better win-loss ratio of 2:1 against the German after the current World No.1 Jannik Sinner with 2.75 (11-4). Even the youngest No.1 in history and the 7-times Slam winner Carlos Alcaraz has only a slender lead of 7-6 against him with a ratio much below at 1.17.! The last time Roger won against Zverev was in the Round Robin match at the season-ending 2017 ATP Finals in London. The Swiss was 36-years-old, and World No.2. Zverev was only 20 years 6 months old, and No.3 in ATP rankings when they met. When @DjokerNole won his last match at the ATP 500 China Open in Beijing against Sascha, the Serbian had gone past the age of 39, and was No.11 in ATP. The German had already won two Slam titles by then and was the World No.2 player. There lies the BIG difference💪What a GREATER tennis legend Novak is than Roger👏👏 IDEMO Nole👍🙏

Yeah from 2004-2008 lol. Barley was #1 outside of that since he couldn’t touch them once their primes hit hence why finished with less slams and masters then the other 2

Nadal won 22 Grand Slams but spent just 209 weeks at World No. 1. Federer spent 310. Djokovic spent 428. It’s hard to argue Nadal was the greatest player ever when two of his biggest rivals spent significantly longer as the best player in the world.

Outside of the Big 4 and Sinneraz there hasn’t been a better player than Alexander Zverev in the last 20 years. 2 Grand Slams, 7 Masters, 2 ATP Finals and Olympic gold. People dislike Zverev so much that they refuse to acknowledge how historically great his career has been.
