Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, and Andy Murray have redefined tennis history. Together, they have accumulated 69 Grand Slam titles, an unparalleled dominance.

"Game, Set, and Math," an X account specializing in tennis statistics, revealed an interesting document highlighting the titles won by these four legends after either defeating or not defeating the other three members of the Big 4 in the same tournament.

Here is the breakdown of the Big 4's titles based on the number of members defeated in the tournament:

Federer has won a Grand Slam 12 times without having to face a member of the Big 4. This number is partly justified by the age gap he has with his direct competitors. Djokovic ranks second (7), followed by Nadal (6) and Murray (1).

The Serb, who holds the record for Grand Slam titles, leads Rafael Nadal in titles won after defeating 1 member of the Big 4: 13 to 10. Federer (6) and Murray (2) complete the ranking.

But while the Spaniard did not rank first until now, he can still boast of having defeated 2 members of the Big 4 six times to win a Major, a great achievement. That's two more than Djokovic (4) and four more than Federer (2).

Finally, none of these four players have defeated the other 3 in the same tournament. This statistic is partly explained by their ranking positions and, therefore, their placement in the tournament.
