Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer have dominated the tennis world for the past decades. However, it is pretty clear that that is changing. During an interesting interview on Tuesday in Barcelona, Stefanos Tsitsipas said that he believes that the dominance of the Big3 is over.

The Monte Carlo champion commented:

“I understand what you say about the Big Three, but right now there is no more Big Three because they are not the top three players in the ranking right now. One of them has been absent for a long time, but I still see competition between the other two.”
