In cricket, the quartet of men's players comprising Steve Smith, Virat Kohli, Kane Williamson, and Joe Root are often referred to as the Big Four. These players are considered dominant in terms of ICC Rankings and statistics, including having dominated the sport among them from 2004 until 2016. As of 2019, the trio of Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic has instead been referred to as the Big Three due to Murray's repeated struggles with injuries, relative absence from the ATP Tour, and vastly smaller achievements.

Federer was the first to come to prominence after winning Wimbledon in 2003 and established himself as the world No. 1 after winning the Australian Open in 2004. Nadal followed in 2005 after a French Open triumph including a win over Federer,[24] and they occupied the top two places in the ATP rankings from July 2005 to August 2009. Djokovic, from 2007, then Murray, from late 2008, increasingly challenged Federer and Nadal's dominance with seasonal consistency. In 2011, Nadal declared that his and Federer's period of joint dominance had ended, owing to the ascent of other players, notably Djokovic and later Murray.[25] Djokovic has been a dominant player since the beginning of 2011, gradually approaching or surpassing Federer's and Nadal's career achievements.[26] Despite occasional injury breaks by individual members of the Big Four, they have maintained their dominance as a group at the majors until the present. The emergence of other players has reduced their dominance at the ATP Finals and Masters 1000 tournaments starting in 2017.

They regularly held the top four places in the year-end rankings between 2008 and 2013, and were ranked year-end world top 4 consecutively from 2008 to 2012 which is the longest span of dominance for any quartet of players in tennis history. In 9 of the last 12 years (since 2007), the year-end top 3 ranks have been held by members of the Big Four, the years they didn't (2013, 2016 and 2017) was mainly due to injuries to 2 of the members during those seasons. They have held the top two spots continuously since 25 July 2005, as well as the top ranking since 2 February 2004, meaning that no player outside the Big Four has ranked world No. 1 in more than 15 and a half years or even No. 2 in 14 years. All four have reached a career high No. 1; Federer has been world No. 1 for a record 310 weeks, Djokovic for 275 weeks (third since the inception of the ATP Rankings in 1973), Nadal, the current No. 1, for 205 weeks (6th since 1973), and Murray for 41 weeks. Federer, Djokovic and Nadal have all been year-end No. 1 on five different occasions, only interrupted by Murray in 2016.

Since about 2011 the term "Big Four", while used previously, became popular with the media and in tennis literature.[27][28][29] The Big Four have been a critical part of what has, since 2006, often been labelled a new "Golden Era" in tennis;[30][31][32][33] that term is also applied to the mid-1970s to 1980s,[34][35][36] and the 1920s to the 1930s.[37]

Amongst them, they have won 56 of the last 62 men's major singles titles, from 2004 Wimbledon through 2019 US Open, with at least one of them appearing in every major final during this period, the only exceptions being the 2005 Australian Open, and 2014 US Open. Of the four, Federer leads with a record 20 major titles followed by Nadal (19), Djokovic (16) and Murray (3). Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic have completed a Career Grand Slam by winning each of the four Majors at least once, with Nadal also winning a gold medal at the 2008 Summer Olympics for a Career Golden Slam. Murray has won neither the French nor Australian Open, despite reaching the final five times in Melbourne and once in Paris, but has won two Olympic gold medals (one each at the 2012 and 2016 Summer Olympics), becoming the first tennis player in history to win two singles gold medals.[38] In the three Olympic Games between 2008 and 2016, the four won 5 gold medals (Murray 2, Nadal 2, Federer 1), 2 silver medals (Murray and Federer) and a bronze medal (Djokovic).

Furthermore, at ATP Masters 1000 tournaments, they are all in the top-10 list (since 1970). Nadal leads with a record 35 titles, followed by Djokovic (34), Federer (28) and Murray (14).[39] They have won 12 of the last 16 ATP Finals, with Federer winning six and Djokovic winning five, and Murray winning one. All four players have also played key roles in leading their countries to success in the Davis Cup. Djokovic and Federer helped Serbia (2010) and Switzerland (2014), respectively, win the competition for the first time, while Nadal has won five Davis Cup titles, and Murray helped end a drought of 79 years for Great Britain in Davis Cup competition (2015).[40]

In addition to all of these achievements, the Big Four hold many records for having won individual tournament titles the greatest number of times, including 3 of the 4 majors (Australian Open: Djokovic, 7 titles; French Open: Nadal, 12 titles; Wimbledon: Federer, 8 titles), the ATP Finals (Federer, 6 titles), and 9 of the 9 ATP Masters 1000 events. Djokovic is the only player since 1990 to have won all nine Masters 1000 events at least once.

Some have objected to including Murray in the Big Four while excluding Stan Wawrinka, who has also won three majors in the same time period. Wawrinka himself has countered this objection, citing his own lack of consistency compared to the Big Four. A comparison between the career performances of the two shows Murray clearly ahead in all other parameters. Murray's statistics are often in the top 10 in the open era which highlight his consistency in comparison to Wawrinka.[41][42][43]
