Djokovic continues to extend Big Titles lead over Nadal and Federer into an unassailable one after Cincinnati

Serbia’s Novak Djokovic has continued to extend his lead against his two fiercest rivals — Spain’s Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer.

The three players, who are famously known as ‘The Big Three’, remained competitive for more than a decade and ruled men’s tennis unlike ever before.

Out of the three, the most decorated player is Djokovic but for some odd reason, his achievements have always been undermined.

The 36-year-old has now extended his lead at the very top after winning the Cincinnati Open (Western & Southern Open) after defeating Spain’s young tennis star Carlos Alcaraz in the final with a score of 5-7, 7-6, 7-6 on Sunday.

The victory was Djokovic’s 64th title won at the highest level and the 39th ATP Masters 1000 title. The feat included 23 Grand Slam victories and six ATP Finals titles for the current world number two.

His closest rival remains Nadal who has won 59 titles at the highest including 22 Grand Slam victories, one Olympic Gold medal and 36 ATP Masters 1000 titles.

Switzerland’s Federer, who has already retired from professional tennis last year, sits on the third position in the list with 54 titles including 20 Grand Slam triumphs, six ATP Finals and 28 ATP Masters 1000 titles to his name.
