The Big 3's peak in Tennis was from 2004 to 2023, where Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer, and Rafael Nadal won at least 2 Grand Slams combined every year. The trio dominated the Tennis world like never seen before, as they won a majority of Grand Slams and shared between themselves. Barring a little period in 2012-16, they had nearly inexistent resistance from other players.

From 2004 to 2023, out of the 79 Grand Slam titles, the big three won 65 of them, with an insane conversion rate of 82.3 percentage, which meant that others in the period had a chance of winning less than 1 Grand Slam a year! Hence, winning at least one Grand Slam in the period accounts for a huge achievement. But to do it multiple times means greatness.

3 players who won multiple Grand Slams during Big 3's peak

Carlos Alcaraz

Carlos Alcaraz was very young in the period 2022-23 when he won two Grand Slam titles. However, it is also a point of consideration that Roger had already retired by then and Nadal's career was getting worse due to injuries. However, when Alcaraz won his Grand Slams by Wimbledon 2023, Djokovic and Nadal were still challenging younger talents of their time.

Alcaraz's maiden Grand Slam win came at the US Open in 2022. A year later, he registered the biggest win of his career by ending Novak Djokovic's winning streak at Wimbledon. The Serbian was unbeaten at the Grass Court Grand Slams for nearly 7 years. Alcaraz registered the famous win at Wimbledon 2023, which was a passing the torch moment in Men's Tennis.

Stanislas Wawrinka

Stan Wawrinka was a great player to have won multiple titles during the Big 3 dominated era. There could be a case made for him potentially winning a lot more Grand Slam titles had he played in a different era. Even without that, he won three Grand Slam titles, which was great.

Wawrinka pushed the big 3 hard and won his first major at the Australian Open in 2014. A year later, he won his first Roland Garros title and joined the elite list of players to have won multiple Grand Slams in the Big 3 peak era. In 2016, Wawrinka won the US Open and achieved the unique feat of having won a Grand Slam in three different tournaments.

Andy Murray

Andy Murray was probably the best player outside of the Big 3 during their peak. In fact, for a long time, he was the third best player in the world, till Novak came to his own. The British player won his first major at the US Open in 2012. He followed it up with a Wimbledon 2013 win.

Murray also won the Wimbledon in 2016, becoming the only player apart from the Big 3 to win multiple Grand Slams at the same tournament since 2004. Apart from that, Murray dominated the Olympics, as he won the Gold medal in both 2012 and 2016, in the presence of the Big 3.
