The Big Three in men’s tennis, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic have cast an overwhelming shadow on the sport for more than two decades. The trio has lifted most of the big titles in men’s tennis across this period. It’s not just Grand Slam trophies that sit across their shelves, but also other honors like the Laureus Sports Awards. Recently, Laureus announced the nomination for the 2024 edition, eliciting an interesting question – who among the big three has won the most number of Laureus titles?

While Federer has called time on his illustrious career and Nadal struggles with injuries in the twilight of his, Djokovic is still going strong. Moreover, while he was nominated for the 2024 Sportsman of the Year award, the Serbian still trails the leader.

Roger Federer leads the Laureus way

The Swiss maestro enthralled fans all across the globe during his illustrious tennis career. A naturally gifted player, Federer was a fan favorite, widely respected in the tennis circuit. As a result, he has the distinction of winning the Laureus Sports Award for the most number of times among the Big Three.

Federer clinched the Laureus Award an astonishing six times during his decades-long career. It included wins in different categories like the Sportsman of the Year and Comeback of the Year. The Swiss maestro’s first title came way back in 2004 and then in 2018, he won his most recent Laureus Award.
