Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal set fire to tennis when they entered their prime. The two would make each player fearful of them, and many finals would be played between either of them. It continued until Novak Djokovic stepped up and turned the tennis scenario on its head once again. He made the trio the big three of tennis and made the world look at them differently.

Djokovic has continued his dominance in the sport while Federer is retired and Rafa is out due to injury. His continuous efforts have impressed Serena Williams, Serena’s childhood coach, who called him a combination of his two biggest rivals.

When tennis fans talk about what made Federer one of the greatest players of tennis, they usually mention the elegance he had on the court. The way he moved around the court and the way he took a shot carried a certain amount of grace. For Rafa, tennis fans will talk about the raw power he had when hitting the ball, which especially helped him on clay courts. 

For the Djoker, Rick Macci says that he is a combination of the Fedal. “Roger made the game look like BALLET. Rafa made the game look like BOXING. Novak makes the game look like a BOXING and BALLET. @DjokerNole,” he wrote on his ‘X’ page. As per his words, Djokovic carries grace and energy, which has helped him attain 24 grand slam titles.
