Ivan Ljubicic to @ilmessaggeroit: "What the Big 3 have done is unreal. Once they retire, we will see different Grand Slam winners like happened when Sampras and Agassi stopped playing."
Ivan Ljubicic had his peak during the start of the Federer-Nadal era but not long after a young player came along that changed the history of tennis with the two legends.
Ivan Ljubicic played during the start of the big 3 era and he had the chance to play against all three players. While he was slowly heading towards the conclusion of his career many of his rivals were at the upswing of theirs and looking back on all of that the Croatian declared:
"What the Big 3 have done is unreal."
It's a factually true statement and nobody really believes that all three of them would become some dominant as they have. Never in history did the game of tennis have 3 players so dominant at the same time despite Djokovic realistically dominating the past 5-6 years more so than Federer or Nadal. Asked what he thinks will happen when they retire he said:
"Once they retire, we will see different Grand Slam winners like happened when Sampras and Agassi stopped playing."
Again a true statement by Ljubicic who believes the game will be left in good hands. The popularity of tennis won't waver and more competition in the sport might bring in more interesting than before. The 2021 Laver Cup proved a great success despite none of the big 3 playing in the event.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
