Djokovic desires a reunion with Nadal and Federer

Nole acknowledges his desire to sit down with his two archrivals in the "Big 3" to revisit the journey they undertook together.

Novak Djokovic expressed his wish to gather with Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal to look back on their more than twenty-year journey, which forged one of the brightest eras in global tennis history.

Over the past two decades, Djokovic, Federer, and Nadal — the group dubbed the "Big 3" — have ruled the tennis world, amassing 66 Grand Slam titles collectively. Djokovic alone possesses 24 major trophies, ahead of Nadal (22) and Federer (20), and he remains eager to extend his achievements in the 2026 season.

Beyond producing epic battles on the court, the bond among the three icons has always drawn keen interest from fans. Since "Fedex" hung up his racket in 2022 and "Rafa" retired in 2024, they have only crossed paths at a handful of special occasions.

Ahead of Wimbledon 2026, the Serbian star expressed his wish to have a private meeting with the two greatest opponents of his career.

"I would love to get the chance to sit down with both of them, with no interruptions or distractions, to talk about everything. We could share our feelings when competing against each other, our thoughts about one another, and reflect on all we've experienced together. I believe that would be an incredibly special conversation.", Djokovic shared.

Last year, Djokovic, Federer, and Nadal got together at Roland Garros for a ceremony honoring Nadal after the Spanish icon retired. Given Djokovic's recent remarks, fans can fully anticipate soon seeing another heartfelt gathering of the three greatest legends in modern tennis.

At Wimbledon this year, Novak Djokovic is seeded seventh and will face China's Wu Yibing in his opening match. Nole shares the same half of the draw as Jannik Sinner at this grass-court Grand Slam.
