He served and volleyed his way into history.

Unshakable under pressure, mastering power and precision like few ever could.

Every stroke a masterpiece of grace, precision and effortless beauty.

Heart blazing, fighting for every point as if it were his last.

Relentless and unbreakable, pushing beyond every boundary ever known.

Those players, and a few more were the most iconic who defined tennis.

First up, you have to mention Rod Laver, the Rocket.

This guy is the only player in history to win the Grand Slam twice.

He was this cool, calm and collected force of nature on the court.

A true baseline genius who changed the game with his powerful topspin.

And of course, who could forget John McEnroe?

The complete opposite of Borg's calmness.

Fiery, passionate and unbelievably talented.

Outbursts are legend, but so was his incredible touch and volleying skill.

These guys weren't just players, they were icons who shaped tennis into what it is today.

And then he arrived, Pete Sampras, with a serve that felt like a lightning strike and a running forehand that was pure poetry.

He didn't just play tennis, he commanded the court.

A silent assassin who let his racket do all the talking.

Nobody has ever, ever owned the overhead smash.

It was his signature, an exclamation point on his relentless attack.

Of course, you can't talk about Sampras without mentioning Andre Agassi.

A clash of styles and personalities that defined an era.

And then at the end of his reign, a young Swiss player, I bet you can guess his name, announced his own arrival by defeating Sampras at Wimbledon.

For years, tennis fans believed Pete Sampras record of 14 Grand Slams would stand the test of time.

A monumental achievement that seemed untouchable.

But little did we know we were on the verge of a golden era that would completely Rewrite the history books.

The first architect of this new era was the one and only Roger Federer.

He emerged with a style of tennis that was simply breathtaking.

It was more than just winning, it was magic.

His one handed backhand was poetry in motion.

His movement was graceful and his all court game was devastating.

Federer didn't just win, he elevated the sport.

He took the number one ranking and held it for a record 237 consecutive weeks.

And his rivalry with Andy Roddick, Leighton Hewitt and others defined the mid 2000s.

And for a while it seemed like Roger's reign would be absolute.

The goat conversation for many was already settled.

But then a storm brewed on the clay courts of Roland Garros.

A young, fiercely competitive Spaniard named Rafael Nadal burst onto the scene.

With his sleeveless shirts, pirate pants and an unparalleled fighting spirit, Nadal was a force of nature.

His topspin forehand, the likes of which had never been seen before, made him practically unbeatable on clay.

He became known as the King of clay, winning the French Open year after year.

Their rivalry became the stuff of legend.

The elegant artist versus the relentless warrior.

arguably one of the greatest matches ever played, was the 2008 Wimbledon final.

Wimbledon was Roger's kingdom, his garden.

He was chasing his sixth consecutive title there.

But that day, under fading light and after multiple rain delays, Rafael Nadal did the unthinkable.

He dethroned Federer on his favorite surface in a grueling five set epic.

It was a seismic shift in the tennis world.

The debate was no longer about one man, it was about two.

Federer versus Nadal became the central narrative of tennis for years.

Their battles were not just about trophies.

About who was truly the greatest of all time.

Just when we thought the sport would be a two horse race for the foreseeable future, another contender emerged.

Someone who had been patiently honing his craft in the shadows of these two giants.

Initially known for his incredible flexibility and defensive skills, Novak transformed his game, his diet and his mentality to become an absolute winning machine.

He wasn't just content to be third best, he was determined to be the best.

He started challenging and beating Roger and Rafa on all surfaces, signaling the arrival of a third superpower.

The Big Two had officially become the Big Three.
