Novak Djokovic is of course part of the Big Three but as the decade ends, we start to talk about the Player of the Decade and that award has already been given out by Tennis.com.
They have given it to Djokovic saying that it is due to his 15 majors over the past 10 years compared to Nadal's 13 and Federer's five.
As well his combined record of 42-25 against them while also finishing five season at No.1. He became the first player since Rod Laver to win four Grand Slam titles in a row; while failing to potentially capture some of the tennis audience's psyche due to Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal overshadowing him in terms of popularity.
The fact remains though that Djokovic's record doesn't lie and it is one which sees him statistically as one of, if not the best player of the last decade. Jimmy Arias echoed the sentiments in terms of his return and said it is the best in history.
“His return is the greatest in the history of tennis,” Jimmy Arias says. “Normally, players fall into one of two categories: defensive returners who put all the balls back in, and aggressive returners who tend to guess. Djokovic is the first player who does both.”
