4. Andy Murray

It is only fitting that the ‘Big 4’ occupy the top 4 spots in this list.

Stan Wawrinka has often been described as ‘Tennis’ great latecomer’ as he found a lot of success late in his career. He won 15 titles this last decade out of which 3 were grand slams and 1 was a Masters title. In his 3 Grand Slam triumphs, he beat the no.1 player to win the title. At his best, he won of the few players who could challenge the ‘Big 4’ at the Grand Slams. He has recently found his form after recovering from knee surgeries. We should see him competing well in 2020.

6. & 7. Bryan Brothers

The Bryan Brothers – Bob and Mike have been one of the most dominating doubles pair in the history of tennis. They together won 9 Grand Slam titles and also an ATP Finals titles.

The Croatian has played  some extremely good tennis this past decade. This good tennis led him to win his first Grand Slam at the 2014 US Open beating Japanese star Kei Nishikori. He also reached the final of the 2017 Wimbledon and the 2018 Australian Open. At the beginning of 2018, he reached a ranking of world no. 3.

10. David Ferrer

Spain was in tears at the 2019 Mutua Madrid Open as David Ferrer retired from tennis. An amazing career full of so many achievements came to a close. David Ferrer won 27 titles in his illustrious career winning one Masters title back in 2012. He reached finals of 6 other Masters titles and also the finals of the 2013 French Open. David Ferrer was a player who could have won a Grand Slam but was very unlucky but he still was one of the best players this decade.
