Busting Myths
 
MYTH
"The Big 3 have all dominated so completely, they must’ve defended every Grand Slam they’ve won, right?"
TRUTH
BUSTED! Not quite! Federer never followed up on his lone French Open win. Nadal, despite his dominance, has never defended a title in Melbourne, Wimbledon, or New York. And Djokovic, for all his consistency, has yet to defend a title at the US Open or Roland Garros. Even the greatest champions leave some boxes unticked!
