Chasing Roger Federer

Source: Statista

The global tennis elite is currently meeting in Paris for the second Grand Slam tournament of the year. Having won 11 French Open titles in the past 14 years, Rafael Nadal once again is among the favorites on the French clay, but Novak Djokovic, world number one and winner of the past three Grand Slams went into Roland Garros with high hopes as well. If the Serbian were to win his second French Open title next Sunday, he would hold all four Grand Slam titles on three different surfaces at once, a feat that no one besides himself in 2015-16 has ever achieved.

Both Nadal and Djokovic are also playing for a place in the history books, as they’re trying to catch up with Roger Federer, who still leads them by 3 (Nadal) and 5 (Djokovic) career Grand Slam titles, respectively. The Swiss champion is also competing in Paris for the first time since 2015, possibly indicating that his remarkable career might be coming to an end sooner rather then later. Federer has won 20 Grand Slam titles so far, including one French Open title in 2009.
