If you are a tennis fan, you would know that Roger Federer holds the record for most Grand Slam men’s singles titles with twenty.

He has been arguably one of the greats of tennis and is still playing the game at the highest level well into his late thirties.

He does have a little competition in the latter stages of his career with Rafael Nadal close behind with 19 Tennis Grand Slams and Novak Djokovic on 17 Grand Slams.

Over the past twenty years, we have been treated to seeing three of the great tennis players of all-time all compete during the same era in the Tennis Majors. They have played each other in some massive finals and made it tough for anybody else to become a Tennis Grand Slam Winner over the past twenty years.

Over the past 20 years Roger Federer, Rafel Nadal and Novak Djokovic have won an incredible 69%, 56 of the 81 Tennis Grand Slam Tournaments.

Since Roger Federer won the 2003 Wimbledon Tournament, the big three have won an incredible 56 of the next 67 Tennis Grand Slams at 83.6%.

All three have dominated the game, and it has been enjoyable for both tennis and sports fans alike.

Semi-Final Appearances – 8

Lleyton Hewitt was one of the best up and coming tennis players at the turn of the century.

Lleyton Hewitt won the 2001 US Open and the 2002 Wimbledon title and was well on his way to having a stellar career in the game of tennis.

Hewitt did not have as big of an impact in the last ten years of his career, but would always make a first or second-round opponent nervous because of his work ethic on the court and never give in attitude.

8.) Marat Safin

Grand Slam Wins – 2

Finals Appearances – 4

Semi-Final Appearances – 7

The Russian great was a regular contributor in the tennis grand slams during his career and managed to win a major on two occasions.

Always one of the main drawcards for fans at any of the tennis majors, Safin could entertain but was known to lose his cool on the odd occasion in a close match.

One of the Russian tennis greats and a consistent perfomer over the past 20 years.

Grand Slam Wins – 1

Finals Appearances – 5

Semi-Final Appearances – 10

Perhaps one of the most entertaining tennis players of the past 20 years, Andy Roddick was a solid player and had his chances to win more than 1 Grand Slam title.

He faced off against Roger Federer in consecutive years at Wimbledon and was always a chance with such a fast, consistent service game that would make it tough for his opponents.

Ten Semi-Final appearances saw him feature in the backend of the majority of the Tennis Grand Slams on numerous occasions and would feature on centre court for a lot of his matches.

One of the best from the USA over the past 20 years.

A unique style to his game and a real competitor, Agassi made it difficult for any of his opponents when they matched up.

4.) Andy Murray

Grand Slam Wins – 3

Finals Appearances – 11

Semi-Final Appearances – 21

Some would argue that in any other era, Murray would be considered one of the greats of tennis, but unfortunately, he has had to compete against the three best players of all-time throughout his entire career.

There was a stage when it seemed like he may never breakthrough for a significant win with a stack of finals appearances.

Murray finally broke through for his first win in the 2012 US Open tournament and has been a contributor in the back end of a lot of Grand Slam events with 21 Semi-Final Appearances throughout his career.

One of the greats of English tennis and one of the most deserving major champions of recent times.
