In the modern era of the men’s game, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic been the most dominant players. Probably not just the modern era, but going back to its inception. Another amazing fact is that the three of them are such different people, as individuals and players.
The statistics speak for themselves, Nadal is tied with Federer on 20 slams, whereas Djokovic is on 17. The fact that these guys are continuing their dominance after being in their 30s speaks volumes. Federer on the other hand is going to turn 40 in August next year. These guys are looked upon by athletes from various sports.
Recently, French tennis player Benoit Paire ushered in praise for the big 3. He had a special mention for Rafa and was in complete admiration for the Spaniard. Paire wondered how can a player win a grand slam and prepare himself for the next tournament in the next coming days.

He said, “I’m not jealous of Nadal, Federer, or Djokovic. I respect them a lot and I think what they do and how invested they are is amazing. But damn, when I see Rafa win the French and two days later he’s training at Queen’s for the grass-court season… It’s a different world! If I won the French I don’t know if I’d go to Queen’s or even to Wimbledon. Actually, I think I’d end my season there!”
Benoit went on to praise the three of them further and not to mention a slight sense of honor for himself too. To be able to maintain himself around these guys on a regular basis is noteworthy.

The Frenchman stated, “Without them, tennis wouldn’t be where it is today. I admire them enormously, but I will never be like them. That doesn’t stop me from considering myself a champion. I was 18th in the world, I’ve been in the top 100 for 10 years, and I have three ATP titles: That’s a perfectly good career.”
