Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic have received equal support in terms of the GOAT debate with both tennis players sharing the spot with Roger Federer. The Big Three have not only advanced the best quality of tennis observed in the history of the sport but also present a relationship that reflects great camaraderie and sportsmanship.

These three extraordinary champions have dominated for 21 years, rewriting and overturning the history of tennis, but now they must inevitably leave room for the new generation. With a moving and magnificent post, the US Open celebrated a piece of news that is historic in the world of sport.

With Novak Djokovic's early exit, a long-standing streak held by Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Djokovic himself comes to an end at the US Open. The 2024 US Open delivered a major shock with Novak Djokovic’s third-round elimination at the hands of Australia’s Alexei Popyrin.

Novak Djokovic said he "played some of the worst tennis I have ever played" after he followed Carlos Alcaraz in crashing out of the US Open.
