Tennis fans debate the greatest sports statistics including Federer, Nadal and Djokovic's mind blowing domination and Serena Williams 'goalpost' shift
Tennis NewsSaturday, 10 February 2024 at 01:00
Debate on
the best "one sports stat graphic" had tennis fans highlighting the
mind-blowing achievements of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, and
Serena Williams. In a social media post by TickPick (a ticket-selling
organization in the U.S.), tennis enthusiasts praised the top tennis legends of
the past decades.
They were
not the only ones mentioned. Some included Andy Murray in the statistics as
part of the Big-4 alongside Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic. Additionally, the
current world No. 1, Iga Swiatek, and former Australian tennis player Margaret
Court with her 24 Grand Slam titles, although 15 of them were before the Open
Era, were also featured.
One fan
highlighted the Grand Slam dominance from the 2017 Australian Open to the 2021
US Open, where the Big-3 won 19 out of the 21 Slams in that period, despite all
of them already having at least 15 years of career, showcasing their dominance
over the last 20 years.
“You mean the graphic from 2022 that
finally made me realize why people hate the big 3”
Another fan
highlighted Rafael Nadal's overwhelming statistics at the French Open with over
100 victories and 14 titles in the most significant clay-court tournament. The
Spaniard has accumulated 112 wins with only three defeats, boasting a 97%
winning record, a historic high for a player at the same Grand Slam.
Another fan
asserted that the statistics regarding Margaret Court's number of Grand Slam
titles were not emphasized until Serena Williams threatened to break her
record:
“Before they
moved the goal post because you know why”
Here are
some of the incredible statistics that fans included in the discussion on X

- All the men dropping like flies. Something’s gotta be done with the tournament calendar or many more players will be on the sidelines in the near future. Surprised Carlos is back as soon as he is. Get well soon Sinner, Draper, Fokina, Rune, etc. etc. etc……DaveyWavey25-08-2026
- I want Pegula to surprise as a one-slam wonder winning in New York. She would then jump over the other three ladies for a number one ranking! I’d put my money on the two American girlies, Jessica and Coco to win in New York. Rybakina cannot seem to perform under this kind of pressure and Sabalenka appears in an anger fog ATM.DaveyWavey24-08-2026
- Well said, Andy. I got sick of Nick carrying on and on and on about Sinner. He absolutely refused to look at the facts. Now look at him. Karma is real!!!Rapunzel23-08-2026
- The fact that ANDY RODDICK of all people has become the voice of “reason” is interesting. He’s absolutely correct about Kyrgios too. He’s become a tennis influencer who is a total hypocrite and bully! I agree with RODDICK 100%DaveyWavey23-08-2026
- Great article! Thiem was similar to Del Potro in that both men had won Grand Slams and injured wrists each stole their careers away. Sad really.DaveyWavey22-08-2026
- I’m not quite sure what’s happening with Sabalenka but she is horrible on court when she’s losing (which is a lot lately). If you cannot control your self at all once you start losing matches - especially at 28 - you need to see a therapist or take a break from the sport. Terrible attitude. This is what represents the women’s tennis tour? Yikes!DaveyWavey20-08-2026
- Love Halep’s post! Very pointed yet simple.DaveyWavey20-08-2026
- He’s such a hypocritical douche! I remember when Sinner was out for three months on his ban and Kyrgios made such disparaging comments towards him and how awful he was. He’s such a mess of a human being.DaveyWavey19-08-2026
- Help me understand this. Nick tests positive for cocaine and gets suspended but Marketa gets banned for four years?Rapunzel19-08-2026
