Over the past decade, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic have enthralled fans. The spectacular quality of tennis showcased by these individuals is world-class and has evolved the game. Together, these guys have won 57 Grand Slam titles. At last year’s French Open, Rafa equaled Roger’s record of holding 20 Grand Slam titles.

As a matter of fact, these players are chasing each other’s record to outdo the other. Although they’re in their mid-thirties and Roger will be entering into the forties this year. The sheer will and desire to compete at the highest level, after all the accomplishments, indicate the hunger that yet remains amongst these legends. 

The Mindset of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic Defers Amongst the Rest

Recently, Five-Time US Open winner, Roger Federer’s coach Ivan Ljubicic spoke on what makes these three players so special. He said, “It has to be the mindset, you know, you have to be really believing that you can do something that has never been done before and you don’t make a big fuss about it.” 

Ivan highlighted the importance of these athletes. They do things in a different manner and their achievements in the game have never been accomplished with such a demeanor. He even compared the ‘big three’ to the great, Albert Einstein, for their ability to invent rather than follow footsteps.
