This era of tennis is the greatest amongst all the sports the mankind has ever seen..
When Nadal lifted the French Open title for a record 12th time a couple of weeks back, he moved closer to Roger Federer's all time tally of 20 grand slams. Djokovic bowed out of the tournament in the semi finals when the super talented Dominic Thiem beat him in a 5-set epic. Federer was eliminated by the eventual champion in the same round as Novak. Now Nadal sits just two majors behind Federer and Djokovic is three away from matching Nadal. These three may not necessarily be the most influential ones but are surely the most successful ones in the history of tennis. When we talk about success in any sport, we talk about eras. They say that we can not and should not compare players from different eras but this trio of Federer-Nadal-Djokovic is forcing us to compare them with the previous generations and label them the best. I don't think there has been a more successful bunch of players in a particular sport that has been so many miles ahead...
