However, former Wimbledon champion Michael Stich has a criticism of the ‘Big 3’. He feels that Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic lack emotions. They do not reveal their true character and maintain an image that does not show their true feelings.
Speaking more on the big three, Stich stated, “At some point, it was all about tennis. Now too. It’s about historical success, less about the people. You don’t know who today’s top professionals really are: ‘What do I know today about Nadal, Federer, or Djokovic?'”
