It’s been close to two decades that men’s tennis has been dominated by Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic. The Swiss superstar won 20 Grand Slam titles to date, and after all these years of chasing Federer, Nadal is currently tied with him at 20 Majors. Meanwhile, Djokovic recently won his 18th Grand Slam title. 

The hype around the G.O.A.T debate (greatest of all time) gets heated every time any of these three players win a Major, especially as these three great representers of the sport have entered the twilight of their careers. Federer will be turning 40 during the course of this season. 

Sascha Bajin: “Appreciate the fact that the Big 3 can play for a long time to come”

Recently, German tennis coach, Sascha Bajin, voiced his opinion on this issue and stated, “It is not because you have the most Grand Slam titles that you are automatically the best tennis player. So many other factors must be brought together and it is moreover difficult to define them. We should just appreciate the fact that the Big 3 can play for a long time to come, and especially hope that in the future they can meet on the court.”

The 36-year-old coach feels that it is not because a player has won more titles that sets him up to be considered the best player ever. There are various factors that need to be kept in mind along with that. Bajin went on to state that for the moment, the Big 3’s existence in the game itself should be cherished as it’s a matter of time before they hang their boots.
