Dawn of the New Era

All of us have been lucky enough to witness the legendary trio of Federer, Nadal and Djokovic mesmerise us with some scintillating tennis over the course of last two decades.

The new era has announced its arrival with a bang. Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, who are hardly into their 20's have hit the ground running, adding 8 slams to their account already. Alcaraz has won 5 and Sinner 3. The duo are set to rule Men's tennis for the next ten years, if not more.

It was all class, mastery and artistry on display whenever they held a racket in their hands.

Federer was all about elegance, precision and finesse whereas Nadal stood out for his athleticism, mental toughness and intensity. Djokovic on the other hand is known for his staunch defence, adaptability and consistency. I see it as a blessing to have lived in the same era as them and to have witnessed the trio giving it their best shot time and again and again.

The number of grand slams that these three have won over the last twenty odd years adds up to a staggering figure of 66.

With Djokovic still in the fray, we might get to see a couple more added to that figure of 66. What makes it even more astounding is the fact that these wins have come out of the 80 odd slams that they contested over the years. Jaw dropping numbers, aren't they? They had left very few for others to win.
