Big Four career statistics

Main article: Big Three (tennis)

This is a list of the combined career statistics of the Big Four, the four players who have dominated men's tennis in singles for the majority of the first quarter of the 21st century. The Big Four consists of Roger Federer, ^[1] Rafael Nadal, ^[2] Novak Djokovic, ^[3] and Andy Murray. ^[4]

Overall dominance

Grand Slam tournaments

For two decades, from 2003 Wimbledon Championships to 2023 US Open, the Big Four have won a combined 69 Grand Slam singles titles. ^{[lower-alpha 1]} Djokovic with a record 24 titles including a triple Career Grand Slam, Nadal with 22 including a double Career Grand Slam, Federer with 20 including a Career Grand Slam and Murray with 3.

The dominance does not just consist of winning the events, with all four members regularly making it to the latter stages of tournaments. Out of 75 majors between the 2005 Australian Open and 2023 US Open, the only four finals not to include any member of the Big Four were those of 2005 Australian Open, 2014, 2020 and 2022 US Opens. They occupied ten consecutive major finals (winner and runner-up) from the 2010 US Open to the 2013 Australian Open. Since 2008, they have occupied all four semi-final spots on four occasions, at the 2008 US Open, 2011 French Open, 2011 US Open and 2012 Australian Open, as well as taking three of the four spaces on nine other separate occasions. In 2011, they occupied 14 out of a possible 16 Grand Slam semi-final slots. In the same period, only twice did two or more not made the semi-final stage (2009 and 2010 French Open), while in 2012 they took 13 out 16 Grand Slam semi-final slots.

The Big Four, along with Rod Laver, Tony Roche and Ivan Lendl, are the only men in Open Era to reach the semi-finals at all four Majors in a single year. ^[5] Djokovic has achieved this a record six times in his career so far. Similarly, the Big Four make up four of the seven players (along with Andre Agassi, Ken Rosewall and Ivan Lendl) to have made the semi-finals three or more times at each of the four Majors. ^[6] Additionally, the Big Four make up four of the ten players to have reached the final at each of the four Majors. Finally, prior to 2009, no man had made 20 Grand Slam singles finals, with Ivan Lendl leading the way with 19. However, since then, Djokovic with a record 36, Federer with 31, and Nadal with 30 have each surpassed Lendl's mark.

Rivalries

See also: List of tennis rivalries

The respective rivalries between the Big Four are considered to be some of the greatest of all time. ^{[16] [17] [18] [19] [20]} Amongst the four of them they have played 234 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 semi-final meetings, more than any other group of four players. Currently, Djokovic leads the head-to-head record against all members of the Big Four. ^[21] 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.

Big Four vs. the rest of the field

The Big Four have collectively won 69 Major titles (Djokovic winning a record 24, Nadal 22, Federer 20, and Murray 3). The only other active players who have a Major title to their name are Stan Wawrinka (2014 Australian Open, 2015 French Open, 2016 US Open), Marin Čilić (2014 US Open), Dominic Thiem (2020 US Open), Daniil Medvedev (2021 US Open), Carlos Alcaraz (2022 US Open and 2023 Wimbledon) and Jannik Sinner (2024 Australian Open). Their combined record at Grand Slam tournaments against everyone else is 1175–134. ^[22] Moreover, only six 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 Championships and Wawrinka at the 2014 Australian Open and the 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 a Grand Slam event.

Wins over each member of the Big Four at a Grand Slam event

• Stan Wawrinka, 10 wins (defeated Murray at the 2010 and 2013 US Open and 2017 and 2020 French Open; Nadal at the 2014 Australian Open; Federer at the 2015 French Open; and Djokovic at the 2014 Australian Open, 2015 French Open and 2016 and 2019 US Open).
• Tomáš Berdych, 6 wins (def. Murray at the 2010 French Open; Federer at the 2010 Wimbledon Championships and 2012 US Open; Djokovic at the 2010 and 2017 Wimbledon Championships; and Nadal at the 2015 Australian Open)
• Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, 5 wins (defeated Murray and Nadal at the 2008 Australian Open; Djokovic at the 2010 Australian Open; and Federer at the 2011 Wimbledon Championships and at the 2013 French Open)

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

• Fernando Verdasco, 4 wins (def. Djokovic at the 2005 US Open; Murray at the 2009 Australian Open and the 2018 US Open; and Nadal at the 2016 Australian Open)
• Andy Roddick, 3 wins (defeated Nadal at the 2004 US Open; Djokovic at the 2009 Australian Open; and Murray at the 2009 Wimbledon Championships)
• Marin Čilić, 3 wins (defeated Murray at the 2009 US Open; Federer at the 2014 US Open; and Nadal at the 2018 Australian Open)

Only four players have defeated 3 of the Big Four at the same tournament. Two of these players are members of the Big Four: Nadal who defeated Murray in the round of 16, Djokovic in the semi-finals, and Federer in the final to win the 2008 Hamburg Masters; and Federer who defeated Murray in the round robin round, Djokovic in the semi-finals, and Nadal in the finals to win the 2010 ATP World Tour Finals. The only two other players to have achieved this trifecta are:

• David Nalbandian (defeated Nadal in the quarter-finals, Djokovic in the semi-finals, and Federer in the finals to win the 2007 Madrid Masters)
• Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (defeated Djokovic in the round of 16, Murray in the quarter-finals, and Federer in the finals to win the 2014 Canada Masters)

Only four players have beaten a member of the Big Four in a major final. The first to do so was Juan Martín del Potro when he defeated Federer in the 2009 US Open final. Wawrinka defeated Nadal in the 2014 Australian Open final, and Djokovic in the 2015 Roland Garros final and the 2016 US Open final. Medvedev defeated Djokovic in the 2021 US Open final, and Alcaraz beat Djokovic in the 2023 Wimbledon final. In all cases except Alcaraz, they defeated the world No. 1 in the process.

The Big Four have played in 100 tournaments where all four have competed. Collectively they have won 88 of these 100 tournaments (88%). Of the 12 tournaments they failed to win, they were runner-up in six of them, and five of these 12 tournaments occurred prior to them first being seeded as the top four players (post-US Open 2008). Since this time in 2008, the Big Four have won 59 of 66 tournaments (89%). And starting with the 2010 Rome Masters, they had won 31 consecutive tournaments where all four were present, until the 2014 Australian Open. ^[23]

Only seven players have managed to win a tournament where all four of the Big Four have competed:

• Andy Roddick (2006 Cincinnati Masters, 2008 Dubai Tennis Championships, 2010 Miami Masters)
• David Nalbandian (2007 Madrid Masters, 2007 Paris Masters)
• Nikolay Davydenko (2008 Miami Masters, 2009 ATP World Tour Finals)
• Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (2008 Paris Masters)
• Juan Martín del Potro (2009 US Open)
• Ivan Ljubičić (2010 Indian Wells Masters)
• Stan Wawrinka (2014 Australian Open, 2015 French Open)

The Big Four's dominance ratio is also high when only three of the Big Four have competed in the same tournament. Of the 49 events where this has occurred, they have won 43 of them (88%). Since 2008, they have won 32 of 37 tournaments (86%).

Only 14 players have recorded at least one victory over each member of the Big Four. ^[hth] Of these players, eight have recorded ten or more victories in total, one has a positive record against two members (both are 2–1 win–loss records), and none have a positive record against all four combined.

Rankings

Main articles: ATP rankings and List of ATP number 1 ranked singles tennis players

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 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. ^{[lower-alpha 5]}

All four have been world number one. Federer first reached number one in 2004 after winning his first Australian Open, whereas Nadal did in 2008 following his Olympics victory after three straight years of ending the year ranked world No. 2, behind Federer. ^[32] Similarly, Djokovic achieved world No. 1 status following his Wimbledon victory in 2011, after four consecutive years at No. 3, in a season which is regarded as one of the greatest in the history of the sport. ^{[33] [34] [35]} Murray reached the number one position after the Paris Masters on 7 November 2016, towards the end of a season in which he had made three Grand Slam tournament finals (winning one, Wimbledon), as well as winning the Olympic Games and three Masters tournaments. ^[36]

They have held:

• The first two places in the ATP rankings continuously since 25 July 2005 (exclusively by Federer and Nadal from July 2005 to August 2009), and end on 14 March 2021 (total of 794 weeks) when Nadal moved from world number 2 to number 3.
• The first three places in the ATP rankings continuously from 13 August 2007 to 7 July 2013.
• The top four places in the ATP rankings for all but 16 weeks from 8 September 2008 to 28 January 2013.
