Roger Federer has been a dominant force ever since his first Grand Slam win back in 2004. Between 2004 and 2010, Federer had won 16 Grand Slam Titles. However, he has struggled to maintain that same form just like his former fellow Nike athlete, Tiger Woods, who also won the most in his career during the same period.
After the year 2010, a young Novak Djokovic arrived at the scene and took over the sport of tennis in such a short span of time. Apart from the Australian Open win in 2008, the rest of Djokovic’s 21 Grand Slam wins came after 2011. Despite the domination of both the tennis stars, they still didn’t manage to hold the number 1 rank combined, as compared to how long Tiger Woods did.
