On July 6, 2003, the history of tennis began to change forever. That day, Roger Federer lifted his first trophy at Wimbledon, his first Grand Slam. Since then, 66 Grand Slams were played: 55 were held by the three monsters of today. The Swiss won 20, Rafael Nadal reached 19 in the recent US Open and Novak Djokovic accumulates 16.
Who are then the seven players who could win the remaining 11 Grand Slams?
The American Andy Roddick was champion in the US Open 2003. The Argentine Gastón Gaudio stayed with Roland Garros 2004. In 2005, the first major of the year was obtained by the Russian Marat Safin.
Then it was only in 2009 when the hegemony of the “Big 3” was broken again: Juan Martín Del Potro, he stayed with the US Open.
Andy Murray was the one who gave them the most fight. The Scotsman had the luxury of succeeding in three Grand Slams. He was champion in the 2012 US Open, winning the final to Djokovic. The following year, in Wimbledon, he beat the Serbian again in a final. Finally, again at La Catedral, in 2016, he defeated the Canadian Milos Raonic.
Stanislas Wawrinka won three Grand Slams, the 2014 Australian Open. 2015 was crowned at Roland Garros and 2016 was raised at the US Open.
The seventh man who can say he won a Grand Slam at the time of Federer, Nadal and Djokovic is the Croatian Marin Cilic. The same height tennis player Del Potro won the 2014 US Open.
