G.O.A.T.
2010
Federer wins 2010 Australian Open to complete a dominant stretch where he won 3 GS/4 in 7 month span. Will spend next several months at #1.
Sunshine Double - Andy Roddick is the star- makes both finals winning Miami. Ivan Ljubicic wins IW.
Clay Court to US Open - Rafa utterly dominates winning 3 GS in a row(RG, W, USO) for the first time since Rod Laver. Back to #1 for a year.
Roger dominates indoor season culminating in YEC win over Rafa.
2011-spring 2013 Nole utterly dominates and spends most of the time at #1. Other highlights: Roger Federer winning his 17th slam@2012 Wimbledon. Rafa winning 2 more French Opens. Andy Murray wins 2012 Olympic gold medal + first slam at US Open.
late spring 2013 - early fall 2013 Rafa utterly dominates winning all kinds of masters + RG + US Open. Takes back #1 for another year. Other highlights: Andy Murray wins Wimbledon.
fall 2013 - June 2016 historic domination by Nole culminating int he 'Nole slam' winning 4 majors in a row. #1 again from Wimbledon 2014 to fall 2016. Other highlights - Stan Wawrinka winning 2 slams. Marin Cilic winning 2014 US Open.
July 2016 - December 2016 Andy Murray grabs YE #1, winning Wimbledon, Olympic Gold Medal and several MS-1000s.
Jan 2017 - March 2017 Revitalization of Roger Federer. Wins AO + Sunshine Double, back to #4 in the rankings after falling to #17 in 2016 after knee injury.
April 2017 - ???? Rafa is resurgent on clay...
Summary: Mostly domination by Nadal & Djokovic with some surges by Federer, Murray & Wawrinka. Nothing of note by anyone else.
Conclusion: I believe 2010s will end with mostly Big 4 domination. I believe Djokovic will find his winning ways later this year.
