Rafael Nadal not only claimed his fourth US Open title over the weekend, he also tied with Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic in the ‘Big Title’ rankings.
These rankings take into account Grand Slam, ATP Finals and ATP Masters 1000 event wins. They all now have 54.
The only one Nadal doesn’t have is the ATP Finals but he makes up for that with more Grand Slams and Masters titles than Djokovic.
Federer of course leads with 20 Grand Slams with Nadal having 19 and Djokovic 16. He also leads ATP Finals with 6 compared to 5 from the Serbian ace.
Nadal only leads in the Masters titles with 35 in all compared to 33 (Djokovic) and 28 (Federer).
Djokovic and Nadal finally lead on pet events played having 3.4 per win each which is in comparison to 4.3 from Federer.
Overall it makes for interesting reading that all three are still adding to their tallies now and when they retire, it will take some catching.
