As 2019 comes to an end, 2020 will start a new decade. Recently, many media have also evaluated sports achievements in the second decade of the 21st century. In a ranking of the most dominant athletes of the past decade selected by an American media, 4 tennis players were among the top 15. Serena Williams ranked second, Federer ranked fourth, Nadal ranked 10th, Djokovic ranked 15th. This result caused a lot of controversy after it was announced. The editor also has his own views on this competition result. Today we will also take stock of the dominance of the three giants in the tennis world in the past ten years.

In the ten years from 2010 to 2019, 40 Grand Slam championships were produced, and Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic won 33 of them. Among them, Djokovic got 15, Nadal got 13, and Federer only got 5. In the past 10 years, Djokovic has been the world number one at the end of the year for 5 years, Nadal has been for 4 years, and the remaining year belongs to the British player Murray. Federer has not been the year-end number ATP since 2009. First. These two indicators should be a very convincing reference, and the Masters championship is even more illustrative.

It would not be too controversial to rank the most dominant male players so far, but it is indeed a bit too much to only evaluate the 10 years from 2010 to 2019. In tennis, the most valuable reference for evaluating whether a player is dominant is the number of Grand Slams. As for the number of major championships officially given by the ATP, it can only be used as a reference after the number of Grand Slams is equal. As for the number of weeks ranked first in the world, the same is true. Therefore, according to this standard, Djokovic is more convincing as the most dominant player in men's tennis in the past 10 years, while Federer can only rank third.

Since we have discussed this issue, we might as well discuss the best battle in history. I believe that the 2020 season will have the opportunity to largely solve this problem that has been lingering for many years. Federer is undoubtedly the most advantageous, currently ranking first with 20 Grand Slams. Although Federer's last Grand Slam dates back to the 2018 Australian Open, his sudden comeback and victory over Djokovic in this year's year-end finals also laid a solid foundation for him to hit the Grand Slam again in 2020. Federer has streamlined his schedule. Next year's Australian Open will have a brand new coating and the same fast and hard courts as Federer's favorite Basel Open. This will be a good blessing for Federer to once again aspire to Melbourne. The Australian Open organizing committee also prefers Federer. In order to take care of the veteran's feelings, it often arranges his matches in less hot night venues, and at the same time, the ceiling can be closed and the air conditioner can be turned on. In addition to the Australian Open Wimbledon , Federer also has a good chance. In this year's Wimbledon final, he wasted his serve to win the game and won two consecutive championship points to win the runner-up amid the overwhelming cheers of the audience. I believe that as a Wimbledon player The most successful man must want to lift the gold cup again in 2020. As for French Open and US Open , Federer's competitiveness is relatively weak. To win the championship requires not only strength but also luck.

Nadal, currently ranked second, holds 19 Grand Slams and has a certain impact on Federer. Nadal is worthy of admiration as the player who has maintained a high level for the longest time among the three. In the first half of the game, he competed with Federer at his peak. Later, he fought with Djokovic to win 19 Grand Slams and his amazing clay court performance. Dominance goes hand in hand, and so does progress on the hard courts. Nadal is the only male player to win Grand Slam titles for ten consecutive years, a record that neither Federer nor Djokovic can match. In the 2019 season, Nadal once again reached at least the semi-finals in all four Grand Slams after 11 years and won two championships, further increasing the impact on Federer. Looking forward to 2020, Nadal's best chance is the French Open, which he has won 12 times. However, , Tim, and other young players have had an increasing impact on him on clay in recent years. It will not be easy to win the 13th title.As for the other three Grand Slams, Nadal certainly has the opportunity to compete, but it will be much more difficult than the French Open. In addition to trying his best, he also needs the support of a good draw.

As the most dominant men's tennis player in the past 10 years, Djokovic is the youngest of the three. He is currently 4 behind Federer and 3 behind Nadal in the number of Grand Slams. However, considering his comprehensiveness in the four types of surfaces, Djokovic can be said to be the biggest favorite to win the championship in all three fields except the French Open. Although he lost his year-end No. 1 position due to poor performance in the year-end finals, Djokovic has begun to make full preparations to regain the world's No. 1 ranking in the 2020 season. He rarely signed up for the Adelaide Open, an ATP 250 event that starts one week before the Australian Open. This is also the first time in the past decade that a Serbian has participated in a tour event the week before a Grand Slam. I believe he is also full of confidence that he can lift the championship trophy again at Melbourne Park. At the same time, he has also laid a solid foundation for achieving three consecutive Wimbledon titles in 2020 and officially launching an impact on the GOAT. I believe that the Serbian and the only Master Jin are also looking forward to winning the trophy at Roland Garros for the second time. Of course, this requires certain problems on Nadal's side. Of course, his goal is the Tokyo Olympics, and his desire for Golden Slam is also great.

It is indeed a bit exaggerated to evaluate Federer as the most dominant men's tennis player in the past ten years, but looking forward to 2020, we still look forward to more exciting duels between the three veterans in the competition for GOAT. I also hope that young players can make breakthroughs in the Grand Slams as soon as possible.
