Big Events where the Big 3 are undefeated in multiple finals

I'm a bit bored and, being a bit of a Stats nerd, I just idly mused over which Big Title Events the Big 3 are currently undefeated in multiple finals played. I use, of course, the ATP's definition of Big Events ie. Slams, WTF and Masters 1000:

Djokovic: 4 Events:

1. Australian Open: 6-0
2. Paris-Bercy: 4-0
3. Shanghai: 3-0
4. Madrid: 2-0

Nadal: 2 Events:

1. Roland Garros: 11-0
2. Canadian Masters: 4-0

Federer: 0 Events

Interesting to note that Djokovic comes out on top with the most events at which he has never been defeated in multiple finals played and that he and Nadal each have 1 Slam in this number. Also that Canada is Nadal's most successful hardcourt event (what is it about the conditions there that he likes so much?). Cincinnati was, alas, the last bastion for Federer. Now he has no events left where he is undefeated in multiple finals played.

Also noteworthy is that all of them have played multiple finals at the WTF but it remains the only Big Event at which none of them are undefeated. Djokovic comes the closest with a current tally of 5-1 vs 6-4 for Federer and 0-2 for Nadal.

I am confused. I thought there is Big 4? Everyone say "the Big 4". where is Andy Murray and his undefeated finals?

Which is debatable.

But still the official definition of the official organisation of the men's tour so it's all we have to go with at the moment.
ATP is not the only official organization of the men's tour. I doubt the International Tennis Federation (ITF) accepts that definition.

If you look at it, If Djokovic had not lost 13 final to Murray as wimby, he would have been 5-0 at Wimbledon. Not far from 7-0 of Sampras.

Murray is undefeated at the Canadian Masters (like Nadal). He is 3-0 in finals played there.

He is also 2-0 in Olympic finals albeit that is not an ATP recognised Big Event.
ATP is not the only official organization of the men's tour.

Is there any International Tennis Federation (ITF) source explicity saying "Olympics is not a big title"?

Given that the ITF takes responsibility for the organisation of the Slams, Davis and Federation Cups and the Olympics I'm sure they regard all those as big titles.

Lol there is no big four. Murrays a fantastic player but still not great enough for it to realistically be a big four

He still shares accomplishments with the Big 3 that no other active player shares so there is a Big 4 as well as a Big 3.
