The Panel
Leads the pool in Slams (24), weeks at No. 1 (428), and year-end No. 1 finishes (8), and he compiled that record against Federer and Nadal at their best. His positive head-to-heads against both of his chief rivals settle the close calls. He redefined modern movement and return-of-serve defense. He has also been a polarizing public figure at times.
