Rafael Nadal warns men’s tennis fans that the “Big Three” era is coming to an end very soon, and he’s not all that worried about it.
Toss in Britain’s Andy Murray, a three-time Grand Slam winner who is making a singles comeback after hip surgery, and you have a fourth star of the times.Xenophobic attacks: Youth stage peaceful protest in Kano But the “Big Three” have dominated like no other generation in tennis, whether the 1960s era of Roy Emerson setting the record of 12 career Slam titles or the American-dominated 1990s run of Andre Agassi and Pete Sampras, whose 14 Slam wins became the new standard.
Djokovic, the winner in four of the previous five Slams, went out in the US Open fourth round to three-time Slam winner Stan Wawrinka, a left shoulder injury forcing the Serbian star to retire. “I don’t have the crystal ball. Do you?” Federer said. “So we never know. I hope so, of course. I think still it’s been a positive season. Disappointing now, but I’ll get back up, I’ll be all right.”Djokovic, the youngest of the trio, says he is planning a comeback in Tokyo and his aim remains going to the top of the career Grand Slam win list, potentially after Nadal and Federer have retired.
Time is on Djokovic’s side, but Nadal sees the journey as more meaningful than the destination when it comes to the all-time Grand Slam title record.
