Overall dominance

[edit]

Grand Slam tournaments

[edit]

For two decades, from 2003 Australian Open to 2024 US Open, the Big Four have won a combined 69 Grand Slam singles titles.[b] Djokovic with a record 24 titles including a triple Career Grand Slam, Nadal with 22 including a double Career Grand Slam, Federer with 20 including a Career Grand Slam and Murray with 3.

The dominance does not just consist of winning the events, with all four members regularly making it to the latter stages of tournaments. 87 majors between the 2003 Australian Open to 2024 US Open, the only 8 finals not to include any member of the Big Four were those of 2003,[6] 2005,[7] 2024[8] Australian Open and 2003,[9] 2014,[10] 2020,[11] 2022,[12] 2024[13] US Open and 2003,[14] 2004,[15] 2024[16] French Open. They occupied 10 consecutive major finals (winner and runner-up) from the 2010 US Open to the 2013 Australian Open. Since 2008, they have occupied all 4 semi-final spots on 4 occasions, at the 2008 US Open, 2011 French Open, 2011 US Open and 2012 Australian Open, as well as taking 3 of 4 spaces on 9 other separate occasions. In 2011, they occupied 14 of a possible 16 Grand Slam semifinal slots. In the same period, only twice did 2 or more not made the semifinal stage (2009 and 2010 French Open), while in 2012 they took 13 of 16 Grand Slam semifinal slots.

The Big Four, along with Rod Laver, Tony Roche and Ivan Lendl, are the only men in Open Era to reach the semifinals at all four majors in a single year.[17] Djokovic has achieved this a record 6 times in his career so far. Similarly, the Big Four make up 4 of the 7 players (along with Andre Agassi, Ken Rosewall and Ivan Lendl) to have made the semifinals 3 or more times at each of the four majors.[18] Additionally, the Big Four make up 4 of the 10 players to have reached the final at each of the four majors. Finally, prior to 2009, no player had made 20 Grand Slam singles finals, with Ivan Lendl leading the way with 19. However, since Big Three ascent, Djokovic with a record 37, Federer with 31, and Nadal with 30 have each surpassed Lendl's mark.[19]

The Big Four have collectively won 69 major titles (Djokovic winning a record 24, Nadal 22, Federer 20, and Murray 3) since 2003 Australian Open. Since Big Four's dominance in 2004 Australian Open, the only other players who have a major title are Gastón Gaudio (2004 French Open),[15] Marat Safin (2005 Australian Open),[7] Juan Martín del Potro (2009 US Open),[52] Stan Wawrinka (2014 Australian Open, 2015 French Open, 2016 US Open),[53][54][55] Marin Čilić (2014 US Open),[10] Dominic Thiem (2020 US Open),[11] Daniil Medvedev (2021 US Open),[56] Carlos Alcaraz (2022 US Open, 2023 Wimbledon, 2024 French Open, 2024 Wimbledon)[12][57][16][58] and Jannik Sinner (2024 Australian Open, 2024 US Open).[8][13] Their combined record at Grand Slam tournaments against everyone else is 1218–193 (86.3%).[59] Moreover, only 6 times has a player outside the group beaten two of them in the same Grand Slam (Safin at the 2005 Australian Open, Tsonga at the 2008 Australian Open, del Potro at the 2009 US Open, Berdych at the 2010 Wimbledon and Wawrinka at the 2014 Australian Open and the 2015 French Open). Stan Wawrinka, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Tomáš Berdych are the only players to have beaten each member of the Big Four at a Grand Slam event.

Wins over each member of the Big Four at a Grand Slam event

  • Stan Wawrinka, 10 wins (defeated Murray at the 2010 and 2013 US Open and 2017 and 2020 French Open; Nadal at the 2014 Australian Open; Federer at the 2015 French Open; and Djokovic at the 2014 Australian Open, 2015 French Open and 2016 and 2019 US Open).

  • Marat Safin, 2 wins (defeated Djokovic and Federer at the 2005 Australian Open)
  • Tomáš Berdych, 2 wins (defeated Federer and Djokovic at the 2010 Wimbledon)

Only 4 players have defeated three of the Big Four at the same tournament. Two of these players are members of the Big Four: Nadal who defeated Murray in the round of 16, Djokovic in the semifinals, and Federer in the final to win the 2008 Hamburg; and Federer who defeated Murray in the round robin round, Djokovic in the semifinals, and Nadal in the finals to win the 2010 ATP Finals. Only two other players to have achieved this trifecta are:

  • David Nalbandian (defeated Nadal in the quarterfinals, Djokovic in the semifinals, and Federer in the finals to win the 2007 Madrid)
  • Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (defeated Djokovic in the round of 16, Murray in the quarterfinals, and Federer in the finals to win the 2014 Toronto)

Only 4 players have beaten a member of the Big Four in a major final. The first to do so was del Potro when he defeated Federer in the 2009 US Open final. Wawrinka defeated Nadal in the 2014 Australian Open final, and Djokovic in the 2015 Roland Garros final and the 2016 US Open final. Medvedev defeated Djokovic in the 2021 US Open final, and Alcaraz beat Djokovic in the 2023 and 2024 Wimbledon final. In all cases, except Alcaraz, they defeated the world No. 1 in the process.

The Big Four have played in 100 tournaments where all four have competed. Collectively, they have won 88 of these 100 tournaments (88%). Of the 12 tournaments they failed to win, they were runner-up in 6 of them, and 5 of these 12 tournaments occurred prior to them first being seeded as the top four players (later 2008 US Open). Since then, the Big Four have won 59 of 66 tournaments (89.4%). And starting with the 2010 Rome Masters, they had won 31 consecutive tournaments where all four were present, until the 2014 Australian Open.

Only 7 players have managed to win a tournament where all four of the Big Four have competed:

The Big Four's dominance is also high when only three of the Big Four have competed in the same tournament. Of 49 events where this has occurred, they have won 43 of them (87.8%). Since 2008, they have won 32 of 37 tournaments (86.5%).

Only 14 players have recorded at least 1 victory over each member of the Big Four. These players who have won at least once against each of the Big Four. Of these players, 8 have recorded 10 or more victories, and none have a lead record against all four combined.

Rankings

[edit]
See also: List of ATP number 1 ranked singles tennis players

Between 8 September 2008 and 28 January 2013, the top four positions in the ATP rankings were occupied by all members of the Big Four for all but 16 weeks. Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic were consistently in the top four for this period, with Andy Murray dropping to No. 5 during all 16 of those weeks. The only two other players who entered the top four in this period were Juan Martín del Potro (3 weeks) and Robin Söderling (13 weeks). This run was ended when David Ferrer replaced Nadal in the top four following a period of injury for Nadal, and retained his place in the top four for much of 2013 as Roger Federer dropped down the rankings due to his own back injury problems.[65]

All four have been world number one. Federer first reached number one in 2004 after winning his first Australian Open,[66] whereas Nadal did in 2008 following his Olympics victory after three straight years of ending the year ranked world No. 2, behind Federer.[67] Similarly, Djokovic achieved world No. 1 status following his Wimbledon victory in 2011,[68] after four consecutive years at No. 3, in a season which is regarded as one of the greatest in the history of the sport.[69][70][71] Murray reached the number one position after the 2016 Paris on 7 November 2016, towards the end of a season in which he had made three Grand Slam tournament finals (winning one, Wimbledon), as well as winning the Olympic Games and three Masters tournaments.[72]
