This clearly shows that Novak Djokovic was the most dominant player at GS in the last decade. A decade of Novak Djokovic. So in Open era since its start we have 5 decades each belonging to these dominant players respectively: Borg, McEnroe & Wilander, Sampras, Federer and Djokovic. Bravo.
 
Isn't it odd that Wilander won more slams than any other guy in the 1980's-yet is remembered far less than Borg, Connors, Lendl, McEnroe, Becker & Edberg?

Updated list

Hall of Fame
There are 24 Grand Slams left to play by 2028 and Alcaraz needs to win half of them to be at the same level as the Big 3.

Hall of Fame
Djokovic, the first to win majors in 3 separate decades.

Novak gets a lot less respect than he should as a tennis legend.

Yes, there are some off-court things where I don't agree with him, but that should not affect an evaluation of him as a player.

Also true that he does have his share of fair-weather, obnoxious fans but that's not unique to any fanbase and certainly not a reflection on him.
