Who are The Big Three and what is John McEnroe standing with them?

The Big Three

The Big Three of tennis are none other than the highly acclaimed tennis professionals of this era, Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic, and Rafael Nadal. Although the trio has accomplished significantly more than any tennis professional altogether, John McEnroe while debating on the subject couldn’t help but favor ‘Djoker’ the Serbian who was recently prohibited from participating in the ongoing US Open due to his long-standing disobeyal for the Covid-19 vaccination mandate, causing irreparable damage to both his image and ATP ranking.

John McEnroe is under the impression that not letting the Serb participate has been a blunder committed on the side of the New York championship’s authorities reasoning the same saying not having him at the tournament doesn’t sit right and has maintained this position of his from day one.

It has also been witnessed on several occasions that the American legend has supported Novak on his gameplay and statistics being better than those of the other two in The Big Three. With Nole unable to participate in the ongoing Flushing Meadows championship and Roger being completely out of the picture, for the time being, the tournament only stands to benefit the Spaniard, Nadal, who is highly anticipated and likely to add one more US open title in his mantle.
