Roger Federer explains what really connected him, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray together
Roger Federer has expressed his belief that the connection between himself and rivals Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray goes beyond tennis. According to the Swiss, it stems from the fact that they are all parents.
Federer, Nadal, Djokovic and Murray, collectively known as the Big Four, dominated men’s tennis from 2008 to 2017. Murray’s individual achievements have been well short of those of Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic. Nonetheless, the quartet has won an astonishing 69 Majors between them.
The Swiss retired in 2022, and the ongoing season is widely expected to be the last one on the ATP Tour for Nadal and Murray. Djokovic, meanwhile, continues to operate at the highest level, despite having suffered some notable upsets so far this year.
