[@samfitzpatrick7891]

2011-2021: Federer: 4 slams, 11 masters, 1 ATP Finals, 25 weeks at no.1 Murray: 3 slams, 8 masters, 1 ATP Fiinals, 41 weeks at no.1, 1 year end number 1, 2 Olympic golds so Murray was as good as Federer for the final decade of his career. So the big 4 was most definitely a thing for many years

[@saurabhrao1981]

I love how the British always insist on calling it the Big Four. In reality it was the Big Three.

[@GiDaOne]

It was the Big Four for a while. It refers to the period of time during which these four dominated the tour for many years. Obviously with Murray lagging behind, but clearly ahead of the rest of the tour. It doesn't mean that Murray was the 4th best player of all time (he wasn't). There is a great Wikipedia page about the term.

Well it sorta makes sense no matter what happened Nadal greatest rival was Federer which even he himself said

[@penumbra-ic2gm]

Roger did the sensible, mature thing in retiring and accepting that he wasnt going to be able to re-capture his form despite his best efforts. Watching some of the older players in decline continue to limp over the finish line in another desperate attempt to win another title is a sorry sight because as we all know - as do they - they won't be winning slams any more. Serena tried, Nadal tried, Murray tried, Novak is trying but looks increasingly unlikely to succeed.

A vrai dire, ça commence à devenir lassant de voir Federer partout depuis sa retraite à parler sans cesse de lui, de sa carrière et de vendre son image à toutes les sauces. A continuer de se mettre sur le devant de la scène, il est en train de casser son image lisse et montrer qu'il est prétentieux et avide.

Andy Murray didn't accomplish as much as the other three, but he was consistently challenging for slams, won 3 (beating Novak in 2 finals) and has two Olympic gold medals.
