Winner Sinner
Hall of Fame
The Djokovic-Murray rivalry, despite having had fewer chapters than those involving every two different exponents of the big three, is literally the only one that has taken place at least once in each of the 4 slam tournaments, in each of the current 9 masters 1000, therefore at the ATP Finals and at the Olympics.
In fact, the one with the most chapters, Djokovic-Nadal, is missing a challenge in Shanghai.
The most iconic one between Federer-Nadal is missing (very seriously) a challenge at the US Open, but also at the Canada Open, Paris-Bercy and at the Olympics.
While the one between Federer-Djokovic, the second most numerous, is missing a challenge both in Madrid (clay version) and at the Olympics.
So to finish the one between Federer-Murray where there are no challenges in Miami, Paris-Bercy, and literally in every important tournament on clay (Roland Garros-Monte Carlo-Madrid-Rome), in fact, they have never challenged each other in their entire career on clay.
Which one will be the next one capable of equaling the one between Djokovic-Murray?
Obviously the first rivalry that comes to mind is the one between Sinner-Alcaraz, which for being so young already includes 3 challenges in 3 different slams.
But in addition to the Australian Open, there are still 6 Masters 1000 missing since at the moment at Masters 1000 level it has only been played in Indian Wells, Miami and Paris-Bercy, but also at the ATP Finals (obvious that sooner or later it will happen) and at the Olympics (much less obvious).
So even for Sinneraz the road to equal Djokovic-Murray is still long and arduous.
