The discussion between who’s the Greatest of All Time in Tennis history intensifies everytime one of the Big 3 wins a Grand Slam. Although that kind of discussion is very opinion-based, there’s some metrics one can use to rank the players, such as the total of Slams or Years End at No.1. As this decade is coming to an end, we decided to breakdown the Top 5 players from 2010-2019.

1. Novak Djokovic

A decade of dominance from @DjokerNole.

The Serbian completely ruled this decade. With 61 titles in his bag, Nole had everything going for him, from hardcourt to grass. He achieved a Non-Calendar Year when he started with a win in Wimbledon 2015 and ended with his first-time victory in Roland Garros 2016. During the decade, he grabbed 15 Grand Slams (the most by any player), 4 Nitto ATP Finals, 29 ATP Masters 1000 and ended at Year-End No.1 for 5 times. Some of the greatest players in Tennis history describe Djokovic as the best to ever do it, independently of his number of Slams. One thing is certain. Federer and Nadal are close to their end, while the Serbian at 32 years old, still looks hungrier than ever for more major titles.

2. Rafael Nadal

A phenomeNADAL decade ????

Rafa Nadal appears on this list at No.2 with 42 titles conquered in this decade. The Bull is the King of Clay, as he has 12 titles at Roland Garros, but lately, he’s been an absolute threat on hardcourt and grass as well. Due to his athletic decline, Nadal saw himself obliged to improve other areas of his game like his service and forehand, making him a more complete player, resulting in multiple US Open titles to go along with finals appearances at the Australian Open. 13 Grand Slam titles, 20 Masters 1000 and 4 times as No.1 at the end of the year, made his decade a one to remember.

3. Roger Federer

Sit back and enjoy the maestro at work ????

The No.3 spot was a tough choice. Both Roger Federer and Andy Murray deserved this one, but ultimately, the 2 more Grand Slams by Roger edged the Olympic Gold Medals by Murray. The Swiss had some rough years during this decade, but a resurgence after his injury in 2017 saw him cement his legacy even more. He went head-to-head in a legendary final against Rafael Nadal at Melbourne in his comeback, winning his 4th Australian Open when no one thought it was possible. While the last few years of the decade were some of his best, the Wimbledon 2019 final will always leave a mark on Roger’s career, as he was 2 match points up in his service game against Novak Djokovic, ending up losing the match in a deciding 5th set tiebreaker. 5 Grand Slams, 2 Nitto ATP Finals and 12 Masters 1000 were some of the accolades Federer gathered throughout the decade.

4. Andy Murray

A decade of Murray magic ????

Andy Murray comes in 4th place, behind the Big 3, with 32 titles earned from 2010-2019. The Scottish, while never reached quite the same heights as his fellow players mentioned above, was always in the mix for every possible title. There’s a reason why everyone dubbed this group as the “Big 4”, as they were always in the deciding moments of every major tournament. Murray is the only player this decade to collect every single accolade. He won 3 Grand Slams, 1 Nitto ATP Finals, 10 Masters 1000, 2 Olympic Gold Medals and a Year-End No.1 award. His objective to become No.1 at the end of the year may have cost him though, as he pushed his body to the limit, playing in almost every single tournament he could. By 2017, a very serious hip injury was diagnosed to Andy, something that could leave him to potentially end his career. Although a tribute video was shown at the Australian Open 2018, he slowly made his way back to the tour after his surgery, winning a title already at Antwerp. He’ll probably never return to his former level, but we’ll be glad if he continues to make his presence felt in the next decade.

5. Stan Wawrinka

One of the players of the decade is Stan Wawrinka. The Swiss always was a promising player, but never seemed to make the jump needed to compete with the big guns. The change of coach to Magnus Norman was the click Stan needed. He disputed one of the best matches of the decade against Novak Djokovic at the Australian Open 2013, losing in a five-set thriller. However, he avenged that loss in the following year when he encountered the Serbian once again on another epic duel, making way for his 1st Grand Slam title. It was clear that something had changed, as Wawrinka was close to unstoppable when he was at his best. He followed that Slam victory with another two in the following two years, stopping Novak at a Career Grand Slam in Roland Garros and at the US Open. Labeled as “The Stanimal”, he usually performs at a much higher level in the Slams than at minor tournaments, obviously for unknown reasons, but even though he’s not in the same class as the other four players, he made this decade much more fun to watch with his attitude and playing style.
