In any sport, head-to-head rivalries are probably the most
interesting things for fans, something that keeps their interest intact.
In tennis, there are a lot of rivalries that keep the fans
on the edge of their seat for years. At the same time. there have been a lot of
rivalries that were one-sided in nature as well.
Interestingly, the top seven of such rivalries featured the
big three in all of them — Serbia’s Novak Djokovic, Switzerland’s Roger Federer
and Spain’s Rafael Nadal.
The most one-sided rivalry in the men’s singles tennis
featured Djokovic and Czech Republic’s Tomas Berdych where the current world
number one emerged victorious 21 times without losing a match on the hard
court.
Second in the list features Nadal’s outstanding record
against Federer. The Spaniard defeated the Swiss legendary tennis star 22 times
in 24 meetings on the clay court.
On the third spot was Federer himself who defeated fellow
Swiss Stan Wawrinka 17 times on the hard court without losing a single time.
Djokovic also got the better of France’s Gael Monfils 16 times
without losing a single time on the hard court.
On the fifth position was once again the 24th-time
Grand Slam winner who defeated Croatia’s Marin Cilic 15 times in 16 meetings.
