“It shouldn't be the Big Three of Federer, Nadal and Djokovic: it should be a Big Five”

No one seems to dispute the leadership that Roger Federer, Rafa Nadal and Novak Djokovic They have earned themselves in the world of tennis through work, epic victories and, above all, through great titles.

However, some players believe that, along with Federer, Nadal and Djokovic, two other rackets should also be recognized that right now they are not at the level of the Big Three because of the injuries.

Australian John Millman requested through his social networks recognition for Andy Murray and, especially, for Stan Wawrinka, winner of the Australian Open, Roland Garros and US Open despite being a contemporary of Federer, Nadal and Djokovic. “The Big Four is a myth. They should call it the Big 5 and include Stan Wawrinka,” the Australian tennis player said in response to a tweet from Daniel Vallverdu, coach of the Swiss, in which he encouraged to participate in an ATP donation campaign with the images of Federer, Nadal, Djokovic and Murray.

Both Murray and Wawrinka have been the main nuisances of Federer, Nadal and Djokovic's dominance in tennis. However, a hip injury before Wimbledon 2017 slowed Murray's career, while Wawrinka was weighed down by a knee injury also in 2017 that has prevented him from regaining his best level. However, their achievements against Federer, Nadal and Djokovic could place them, if not at the height, very close to the 'Three Musketeers' of tennis.
