Over the years, the three have had a number of brilliant matches which are often re-run these days and the game of tennis might never see another three players in the same era quite like them. <\/p>\n
Djokovic has claimed in the past that he\u2019s not friends with Federer<\/a> and the three of them had their moments over the years out on the court and away from it. <\/p>\n Despite the dominance on the ATP Tour<\/a> from the game\u2019s three greatest ever players, there was one tournament that provided an absolute rarity. <\/p>\n It came in 2009 during the Rogers Cup in Montreal and when you sit and think about it, the whole thing just defies any real logic. <\/p>\n The tennis world looked on course for all three players to reach the semifinal of the Rogers Cup in 2009, but what actually happened couldn\u2019t be foreseen by anyone. <\/p>\n All three legendary players of tennis were beaten in successive games on the same court to send shockwaves across the world of sport. <\/p>\n First, Federer was beaten two sets to one by Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, with Djokovic then getting thrashed by Andy Roddick<\/a> in straight sets. <\/p>\n Finally, Nadal must have been rubbing his hands together with those two players out, but went down in straight sets too, with Juan Martin del Potro<\/a> playing a stunning match. <\/p>\n Who won the Rogers Cup in 2009?<\/p>\n![\"Novak](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GettyImages-2167893250-1024x683.jpg\")
