After another amazing Wimbledon Final yesterday, the question this tournament was are we seeing the end of the Big Four? Well two of the 'Big Four' just played out one of the greatest 5 set Wimbledon Finals in recent memory. It's worth taking a look at the Grand Slam champions since 2003. That year saw Federer win his maiden slam at Wimbledon when he defeated Mark Philippoussis, 7–6, 6–2, 7–6. Fast forward to the current day and 44 Grand Slam tournaments later, the breakdown (Big Four only) is as follows: Roger Feder: 25 Finals, 17 Wins Rafael Nadal: 20 Finals, 14 Wins Novak Djokovic: 14 Finals, 7 Wins Andy Murray: 7 Finals, 2 Wins Between these guys they have won 40 of the past 45 Grand Slams spanning 11 years. However, the Big Four wasn't truly born until 2008 when Djokovic won the Australian and Murray was a runner-up at the US Open that year to Federer. It was the Big One (Federer), then Big Two (add Nadal) and then Big Four. 2003 Andre Agassi (8/8)
