Boris Becker continues to follow tennis news. The German legend, which won six Grand Slam titles (two at the Australian Open, three at Wimbledon and one at the US Open), three masters as well as two Davis cups among others in his career, gave an interview for the El Mundo media in which he was questioned about the generation of Big 3.
For twenty years, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic have indeed dominated the circuit outrageously, winning almost all of all the headlines and leaving only crumbs to the rest of the competition. A good part of these crumbs was also picked up by two players, Andy Murray and Stan Wawrinka.
Each member of the Big 3 thus won at least twenty Grand Slam titles, and great matches involving these three immense champions have marked the history of tennis.
-According to the former world number 1, the Big 3 is one of the best periods of this sport, even if it does not forget those of the 1980s and 1990s with other big names (Borg, McEnroe, Connors, Lendl, Becker, Edberg, Sampras or Agassi who also marked the game of their footprint).
“I do not know if our generation and that of Agassi and Sampras is the golden age of tennis, and I would not say that out of respect for others, but it was certainly one of the best periods.
Perhaps another large era is the one where we had Federer, Djokovic and Nadal. It is the best generation in history because it has three ‘goat’ at the same time. But there was too much gap between them and the others. For our part, we had ten high-level players at that time, “said Becker.
