[6]

They occupied 10 consecutive Grand Slam finals (winner and runner-up) from 2010 US Open to 2013 Australian Open. Since 2008, they have occupied all 4 semifinal spots on 4 occasions, at the 2008 US Open, 2011 French Open, 2011 US Open and 2012 Australian Open, as well as taking 3 of 4 spaces on 9 other separate occasions. In 2011, they occupied 14 of a possible 16 Grand Slam semifinals slots. In the same period, only twice did 2 or more, not in semifinal (2009 and 2010 French Open). In 2012, they took 13 of 16 Grand Slam semifinals slots.

The Big Four, along with Rod Laver, Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic and Jannik Sinner, in Open Era, the Big Four are the only to reach Grand Slam finals at all 4 Grand Slam in single year.

Big Titles

Grand Slam, ATP Masters 1000 event and ATP Finals are considered the top tier events of the ATP Tour annual calendar, in addition to the quadrennial Olympics. They make up the most coveted titles in men's tennis and are collectively known as the 'Big Titles'. Djokovic, uniquely, won all titles of the annual calendar, Federer won all 4 Grand Slam and ATP Finals, Nadal won all 4 Grand Slam and the Olympics and Murray won at least a title in the Big Titles, Grand Slam, Masters 1000, ATP Finals and Olympics Games.

Each holds records in one of the Grand Slam men's individual events; Djokovic's 10 Australian Open titles, Nadal's 14 titles at the French Open, Federer's 8 Wimbledon titles, and Murray's pair of Olympics golds represent the outright record in each of those events, while Federer shares the Open Era record of 5 US Open titles with Pete Sampras and Jimmy Connors, and behind the 7 won by William Larned, Richard Sears and Bill Tilden in the Pre-Open Era.

Rivalries

The respective rivalries between the Big Four are considered to be some of the greatest of all time. [69] [70] [71] [72] Amongst the four of them they have played 235 matches against each other, 74 of which were at Grand Slam events. This includes 33 Grand Slam tournament finals, as well as 26 Grand Slam semifinal meetings, more than any other group of four players. Currently, Djokovic leads the head to head record against all members of the Big Four. [73] [74] Djokovic has also won 20+ matches against all three of his peers, while Nadal has won 20+ matches against two of his peers. The Djokovic–Nadal and Djokovic–Federer rivalries are the only two in the Open Era to reach 50 matches. With five, Federer has recorded most bagels against all three of his peers, while receiving only one. [75]

Big Four vs. Other Players

The Big Four have collectively won 69 Grand Slam titles (Djokovic winning record 24, Nadal 22, Federer 20, and Murray 3) since 2003 Australian Open. Since Big Four's dominance in 2004 Australian Open, the only other players who have Grand Slam titles are Gastón Gaudio (2004 French Open), [12] Marat Safin (2005 Australian Open), [8] Juan Martín del Potro (2009 US Open), [76] Stan Wawrinka (2014 Australian Open, 2015 French Open, 2016 US Open), [77] [78] [79] Marin Čilić (2014 US Open), [17] Dominic Thiem (2020 US Open), [18] Daniil Medvedev (2021 US Open), [80] Carlos Alcaraz (2022 US Open, 2023 Wimbledon, 2024 French Open, 2024 Wimbledon, 2025 French Open, 2025 US Open, 2026 Australian Open) [19] [81] [13] [82] [14] [21] [83] and Jannik Sinner (2024 Australian Open, 2024 US Open, 2025 Australian Open, 2025 Wimbledon). [9] [20] [10] [15] Their combined record at Grand Slam against everyone else is 1285–217 (85.6%) in career. [84] Moreover, only 6 times has a player outside the group beaten two of them in the same Grand Slam (Safin at the 2005 Australian Open, Tsonga at the 2008 Australian Open, del Potro at the 2009 US Open, Berdych at the 2010 Wimbledon, Wawrinka at the 2014 Australian Open and 2015 French Open). Stan Wawrinka, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Tomáš Berdych are the only players to have beaten each member of the Big Four at Grand Slam.

Wins over each member of the Big Four at Grand Slam

Wins over three members of the Big Four at Grand Slam

Wins over two members of the Big Four at a Grand Slam event

Only 4 players have defeated three of the Big Four at the same events. Two of these players are members of the Big Four: Nadal who defeated Murray in the round of 16, Djokovic in the semifinals, and Federer in the final to win the 2008 Hamburg; and Federer who defeated Murray in the round robin round, Djokovic in the semifinals, and Nadal in the finals to win the 2010 ATP Finals. Only two other players to have achieved this trifecta are:

Only 4 players have beaten a member of the Big Four in Grand Slam finals. The first to do so was del Potro when he defeated Federer in the 2009 US Open finals. [76] Wawrinka defeated Nadal in the 2014 Australian Open finals, and Djokovic in the 2015 Roland Garros and 2016 US Open finals. [77] [78] [79] Medvedev defeated Djokovic in the 2021 US Open finals, [80] and Alcaraz defeated Djokovic in the 2023, 2024 Wimbledon and 2026 Australian Open finals. [81] [82] [83] In all cases, except Alcaraz, they defeated the world No. 1 in the process.

The Big Four have played in 100 events where all four have competed. Collectively, they have won 88 of these 100 events (88%). Of the 12 events they failed to win, they were runner-up in 6 of 12 events, and 5 of these 12 events occurred prior to them first being seeded as the top 4 players (latter of 2008 US Open). Since then, the Big Four have won 59 of 66 tournaments (89.4%). And starting with the 2010 Rome Masters, they had won 31 consecutive events where all four were present, until 2014 Australian Open.

Only 7 players have managed to win events where all four of the Big Four have competed:

The Big Four's dominance is also high when only three of the Big Four have competed in the same events. Of 49 events where this has occurred, they have won 43 of 49 events (87.8%). Since 2008, they have won 32 of 37 events (86.5%).

Only 23 players have recorded at least 4 or more victories over each member of the Big Four combined. Of these players, only Félix Auger-Aliassime holds the lead record against all four combined.

Between 2004 to 2023, other players won 11 Grand Slam titles of 79, 55 Masters 1000 titles of 172, 7 ATP Finals of 20, Olympics gold 3 of 5.

Rankings

Between 8 September 2008 and 28 January 2013, the top four positions in the ATP rankings were occupied by all members of the Big Four for all but 16 weeks. Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic were consistently in the top four for this period, with Andy Murray dropping to world No. 5 during all 16 of those weeks. The only two other players who entered the top four in this period were Juan Martín del Potro (3 weeks) and Robin Söderling (13 weeks). This run was ended when David Ferrer replaced Nadal in the top four following a period of injury for Nadal, and retained his place in the top four for much of 2013 as Roger Federer dropped down the rankings due to his own back injury problems. [88] [89]

All four have been world No. 1. Federer first reached world No. 1 in 2004 after winning his first Australian Open, [90] whereas Nadal did in 2008 following his Olympics victory after three straight years of ending the year ranked world No. 2, behind Federer. [91] Similarly, Djokovic achieved world No. 1 status following his Wimbledon victory in 2011, [92] after four consecutive years at No. 3, in a season which is regarded as one of the greatest in the history of the sport. [93] [94] [95] Murray reached world No. 1 after 2016 Paris on 7 November 2016, towards the end of a season in which he had made three Grand Slam finals (winning 2016 Wimbledon), as well as winning Olympic Games and three Masters 1000 events.
